A method may include receiving a request to obtain a data file from a nearest remote computing system in a blockchain network and requesting a transaction history of the data file from the blockchain network. The method may also include determining the nearest remote computing system to the requesting computing system based on the transaction history, where the nearest remote computing system stores a copy of the transaction history and the data file and determining the data file stored on the nearest remote computing system is the same as the requested data file by comparing a first hash value associated with the requested data file to a second hash value associated with the data file stored on the nearest remote computing system. The method may also include receiving the requested data file from the nearest remote computing system; and sending the requested data file to the requesting computing system.
