Uploading masters
Resumable, browser-side-encrypted upload of a video master.
Uploading is where a master is encrypted, stored across the network, and registered on-chain, all from a single screen.
Start an upload
On the Upload screen, drag a file onto the dropzone or click Select master file. The screen reminds you of the three things Velic guarantees from the outset:
- Client-side AES-256: providers only ever see ciphertext.
- 2 independent copies: auto-replaced if a copy faults.
- Proof from day one: on-chain PDP begins on the next proving cycle.
What happens as it uploads
The file is encrypted in your browser first, then the ciphertext is uploaded resumably and processed. A stepper shows the live stage:
- Uploading
- Encrypting · AES-256
- Chunking into pieces
- Storing · 2 independent copies
- Registering dataset on-chain
- Awaiting first proof
Progress is streamed live. You can open the upload in its own page to keep watching it, and progress will continue to update there.
Pause and resume
While the file is being encrypted in the browser, you can pause and resume the upload. Large masters upload resumably, so an interrupted connection does not mean starting over.
When it finishes
When the master reaches Stored · awaiting first proof, you can jump straight to it with View in library, or Upload another. The master then appears in your asset library and begins accruing proofs.
If something goes wrong, the upload shows the error with Retry upload and Start over. Nothing is silently dropped.
