The first Object-Storage-Platform with its own
Web3.0 ecosystem
You store your data securely, redundantly and easily over decentralized networks.
Data backup in the
decentralized cloud
You store your data securely, redundantly and easily over decentralized networks.
- No more data loss is possible
- up to 80% lower costs
- Geo-redundant: Your data is distributed and secured worldwide
- You have full control
- Maximum security through encryption
How it works?
Initialization
The configured gateway asks the satellites for a current list of suitable nodes. The satellites are one component of the decentralized network. They regularly check the storage nodes and coordinate the accesses.
Your data is stored on the nodes for the final time. Several satellites exist worldwide that are available for open source projects.
Upload
The data is encrypted before uploading and split into small pieces using predefined processes. Then contact is made with all nodes in the received list and the connection is checked for speed and quality.
The small pieces of data are now transferred to different nodes simultaneously. No node owns a whole file, but always only parts of it. This means that no node operator can read the data. Since each piece of data is signed with a hash, any attempt at manipulation is immediately detected.
Metadata backup
All nodes reply to the gateway with the hashes to each segment. This hash segment mapping is communicated to the satellites and stored with pointers. This allows the data to be retrieved again.
The storage node operators receive "token" as a reward for the released storage. The satellites check the nodes regularly in the process. Rule violations - such as deleting files or downtimes - will be punished with disqualification. If nodes leave the network for unknown reasons, the satellites automatically take care of repairing the data and ensuring its availability.
Filecoin
Filecoin is a peer-to-peer network that stores files. With built-in economic incentives, it ensures that files are stored reliably. With Filecoin, users pay to store their files with storage providers. These storage providers are other computers. They store the data and must prove over time that they have stored all the files correctly. Anyone who wants to store their files or get paid for storing other users’ files can join Filecoin. As a result, a single company does not control the available storage and its price. Instead, Filecoin enables open markets for all to store and retrieve files.
Sia
Sia is a decentralized cloud storage platform protected by blockchain technology. The Sia storage network leverages unused hard drive capacity around the world to create a data storage market that is more reliable and less expensive than traditional cloud storage providers. Sia has its blockchain and a utility token that powers it – Siacoin.
Skynet
Skynet is a fully decentralized file sharing and content delivery platform built on Sia’s cloud storage network. Skynet adds file sharing and data publishing capabilities to Sia. In addition, it creates the necessary infrastructure for apps to store and deliver content in a fully decentralized manner.
Storj
Digitalization means that companies and private individuals are producing ever-greater volumes of data. The use of cloud providers is therefore apparent. However, traditional providers like Dropbox or Google Drive have limitations in terms of security, reliability and cost. Data protection is also a sensitive issue for many users. Storj is the first decentralized, end-to-end encrypted cloud storage that integrates blockchain technology and cryptography to enable greater data security.
