I came to something about Decentralized network.
Do this database have a particular location?
Where is this database located?
This database is decentralized in that it is distributed and can be stored across many servers and PCs. Even if you store your data in a central server, the blockchain makes sure that this data is not modified or removed by them. Even though Panel makes requests to an API, this API only grabs the data; it doesn’t host it.

When the api grabs data,
Will it check all the data on computers in the world?
To make sure it is not modified
Please explain behind the scenes step by step
From requesting to response
Where the request goes?
And from where data is coming?
As you have seen in the first post @cedkim is using blockchain technology by blockstack. On the blockstack website you can find a lot of information.
I know that this extension is using blockchain technology.
I am unable to understand how block chain works
To which IP the extension is connected?
me for the concept of block chain is also hard to understand so i read a lot and watched videos like this.
These videos gave some more knowledge about block chain
Thank You
But these videos did not answer these questions:
So
Well, it’s actually hard to explain everything fully step-by-step, since lots of stuff is abstracted away. Basically, data stored on the blockchain is either stored on a smart contract, which is a program with persistent storage and set functions to access that storage, or in transaction notes, which are harder to query but cheaper to use.

Ok
Atleast say
To which IP it makes the initial connection?
What do you mean?

The extension should connect to some IP first to get data from internet
It connects to the Panel web API, which grabs data from the blockchain on the server side.
Anyways, Panel does NOT host the data. The data is stored and duplicated on many computers, many belonging to normal people. The duplication part makes sure that nothing can get messed up.

Doesn’t it increase bandwidth? (to fetch data from all computers and verify)
Does it mean users phone stores data from other projects?
No, it doesn’t. Users who provide storage and transaction verification to blockchain platforms set up programs on purpose, it doesn’t happen automatically.

Why they provide service for free?

Not by user-level… But on the world’s internet level…

Does BlockChain use Solar power?
Because it is free.
These users who store data receive tokens, which are what many of us know as cryptocurrency. Examples: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin (because Doge).
Also, the amount of bandwidth of the internet as a whole isn’t capped.

Is it insecure?
Because the data can not be erased in blockchain
We can just write data to it.
In a way, this could be a security risk. But this is supposed to be an admin panel for your app, not a way to store passwords and confidential data.
