 DACs store the data required to reconstruct the state of the blockchain and make that data accessible so that, if the main blockchain network goes down, users can still access their assets and data.
 
 Setting up a DAC can be costly and therefore DACs mostly support Enterprise use cases which require cheap and fast transactions with a private and secure data layer.
