Analysis of Optimization of Digital Archive Systems Through Decentralized Digital Archive Information Systems Based on Irys Datachain

Abstract

This research aims to optimize the management of existing digital archives through the development of a decentralized Digital Archive Information System based on Irys Datachain, overcoming the limitations of centralized systems such as vulnerability to cyber attacks, Single Point of Failure, and inefficient access. The long-term goal of this research is to build a sustainable framework that improves data security, archive integration, information availability, and operational cost efficiency through the Irys Datachain decentralized infrastructure. The research method uses a Design Science Research (DSR) approach consisting of three main stages. First, needs analysis to identify operational and system challenges. Second, system development by designing an information system integrated with Irys Datachain as a decentralized storage layer, equipped with Smart Contracts for dynamic access control and transparent audit trails. Third, validation and evaluation of the information system's performance. With the integration of Irys Datachain, this research contributes to innovation in decentralized, transparent, and cost-effective digital archive management that is adaptable to the needs of modern organizations, while strengthening trust in the authenticity and long-term availability of digital archives.
