Today, Storacha is thrilled to announce the launch of our closed alpha decentralized storage network, bringing next-level hot storage to the Filecoin ecosystem. Tailor made for the blazing demands of Gaming, AI, and DePIN networks, Storacha delivers an S3-competitive experience in a decentralized, supercharged storage marketplace.

As you know, Storacha isn’t just any team; we’re seasoned innovators from IPFS and Filecoin, including core architects of foundational protocols in these ecosystems. Over the past three months, our crew has been hard at work transforming web3.storage into a truly decentralized storage network that’s geared for high-performance, fast-retrieval storage. And this is just the beginning, in mid-November, Storacha will light up with a brand-new storage proof built in collaboration with core Filecoin developers to make data retrieval faster than ever… All the trusty upload tools you love from Storacha and web3.storage? They’ll continue to work seamlessly on our new network.

But we’re not stopping there — Storacha’s alpha launch also paves the way for next-gen data sovereignty, enabling users to lock down their data, ensuring it’s only accessible to the specific people they authorize through decentralized permissioning. Soon, Storacha will go one step further by adding data encryption options, letting users secure every byte they upload. At Storacha, we believe your data, your rules should be the ultimate standard.

Catch a live demo of Storacha in action at Devcon during our Hot Ones And Zeros Party on November 13th or at FIL Bangkok. If you’re a storage provider ready to bring the heat, sign up now to join the closed alpha launching in January 2025. Get started storing on Storacha today and experience the future of blazing-fast, decentralized storage firsthand!
