DECENTRALIZED_CDN
A peer-owned CDN for the long tail — locality where IPFS doesn't have it
Cloudflare, Akamai, and Fastly handle the centralized content layer well — but $0.08/GB egress makes them uneconomic for indie creators, open-source projects, regional content, scientific datasets, and emerging-market hosting. IPFS exists but doesn't bias by locality: a user in Mumbai often fetches from peers in Atlanta. Hyperweave makes same-region one-hop retrieval a structural property: anyone runs an edge node and earns from serving content nearby; the routing layer guarantees the locality.

SAME_REGION_ONE_HOP
Deterministic CAS placement (SHA-256(cid || tag || i)) over the 3D Hilbert cube — geographic placement is computed, never coordinated. Same-region requests hit nearby peers in 1–2 hops; cross-continent round-trips only when no replica exists locally.
GEO_BIASED_REPLICA_PLACEMENT
Producer-region affinity is on by default: one of r=5 replicas lands at the uploader's region so its readers see a one-hop fetch. Popular chunks then propagate to additional regions as access patterns warm — no manual cache-warming policy.
LONG_TAIL_ECONOMICS
A regional Hyperweave CDN scales linearly with operators joining that region — sub-Saharan Africa, rural Southeast Asia, dense Asian metros all get first-class treatment without a Cloudflare POP. No per-GB egress fee, no provider holding the keys.
FAILURE_RESILIENT_DISTRIBUTION
When a node fails, surviving replicas serve the content. Hyperweave's SWIM-style failure detection routes around dead peers in 9 s median, and AE re-replicates to maintain r=5. No CDN edge-down outage; the mesh heals as you watch.
