Treebeard presents a horizontally scalable ORAM datastore with a three‑layer proxy: a stateless router that epoch‑batches and deterministically maps requests, a replicated stash/position‑map layer using Raft replication, and an ORAM layer that implements multipath reads plus parameterized multipath eviction (eviction rate A and path count K). Evaluation shows linear scaling to 160K ops/sec on 16 machines, close‑to‑zero recovery downtime, a manageable stash size under multipath eviction, and 13.8x the throughput of QuORAM.
