ValKey is a blockchain-based key management system that ensures the security of private keys, credentials, and sensitive data for decentralized applications (dApps). It’s designed for use in cryptocurrency platforms, decentralized finance, and secure enterprise systems. To keep ValKey secure and efficient, the storage layer plays a crucial role.
Without fast, scalable, and reliable storage, key retrieval can slow down and blockchain systems can suffer from performance degradation. Simplyblock delivers NVMe-over-TCP performance, seamless scalability, and zone-resilience to ensure ValKey operates at its best, even as data and transaction volumes grow.
Blockchain Workloads Depend on Fast and Secure Storage
ValKey operates in blockchain environments, where high-volume transactions and secure key management are critical. As these systems scale, so does the need for high-performance storage to ensure fast key access and real-time transaction processing.
Simplyblock provides NVMe-backed storage that guarantees low-latency access to cryptographic keys, allowing ValKey to operate quickly and securely. By removing storage bottlenecks, simplyblock ensures ValKey can perform at scale, supporting dApps, cryptocurrency transactions, and other decentralized applications.

Step 1: Provision High-Performance Volumes for ValKey
To handle the demands of blockchain key management, ValKey needs storage that supports high-throughput data access. Simplyblock provides NVMe storage, ensuring that ValKey’s cryptographic operations are executed quickly and efficiently, no matter the volume of transactions.
sbctl pool create –name valkey-pool
sbctl volume create –pool valkey-pool –size 500Gi –name valkey-data
mkfs.ext4 /dev/simplyblock/valkey-data
mount /dev/simplyblock/valkey-data /var/lib/valkey/data
Provisioning simplyblock volumes ensures ValKey operates smoothly with fast and reliable key management at scale.
Step 2: Secure Key Retrieval for Fast Blockchain Transactions
Key retrieval is critical in blockchain systems where delays can affect security and transaction speed. Simplyblock’s high-throughput storage ensures fast key retrieval for ValKey, supporting real-time transactions and minimizing latency.
Slow storage can delay cryptographic operations, leading to potential security breaches or transaction delays. Simplyblock’s low-latency storage optimizes key access, so ValKey can quickly respond to blockchain requests, securing transactions without compromising performance.
Step 3: Scale Storage Dynamically as Blockchain Data Grows
As blockchain networks grow, so do the data and transaction requirements. ValKey needs the ability to scale storage dynamically to keep up with the growing volume of keys and transactions without causing disruptions.
Simplyblock makes it easy to resize volumes live while maintaining performance and security. This allows ValKey to scale seamlessly with your blockchain application, ensuring the continuous availability of keys and data.
sbctl volume resize –name valkey-data –size 1Ti
resize2fs /dev/simplyblock/valkey-data
This ensures that ValKey can handle the ever-expanding blockchain datasets while remaining responsive and secure.
Step 4: Maintain High Availability for Secure Blockchain Transactions
For decentralized applications and blockchain systems, high availability is crucial. ValKey must remain resilient and always online, even during failover or network reconfiguration.
Simplyblock provides zone-independent volumes, allowing ValKey to stay online during failovers or migrations across zones. This zone resilience ensures that your key management system remains available, even when workloads move or during maintenance periods.
Step 5: Ensure Performance and Security Across Multiple Environments
Decentralized applications often span multiple environments, requiring reliable access to keys across diverse nodes and locations. Simplyblock supports multi-environment resilience for ValKey, ensuring continuous access to keys regardless of where your blockchain nodes are located.
With simplyblock’s zone-resilience and support for hybrid multi-cloud storage, ValKey maintains fast, secure key access across any deployment, supporting blockchain systems in global, distributed environments.
ValKey Performance with Simplyblock Storage for Blockchain Key Management
ValKey offers secure and efficient blockchain key management, but its performance is tied to the underlying storage. Simplyblock provides NVMe-backed performance, seamless scalability, and zone-resilient storage, ensuring that ValKey can handle high-throughput key management while maintaining security and performance.
For decentralized applications, cryptocurrency platforms, and secure blockchain systems, simplyblock is the ideal storage partner to guarantee fast key access, reliable transaction processing, and the scalability needed for the future of blockchain.
