ColdStack Integrates Storj
Dear community members, we are pleased to announce that our team has completed our integration of the Storj decentralized storage network. Through this integration, we will be able to offer our users access to one of the most popular, trusted, and robust decentralized storage networks (DSNs) in the world. Our Storj integration is currently in beta version, and we will continue to test our system as we seek to deploy it fully. Storj offers a number of unique solutions which will undoubtedly bolster our system, as we look forward to expanding our service in preparation for our public beta and eventual full platform launch.
About Storj
Storj is a decentralized storage network which uses a unique global file-splitting process to guarantee security through decentralization. By separating one’s files into smaller bits, Storj is able to store one’s data across a number of nodes in their ecosystem in order to both prevent data from being compromised, while also improving retrievability. Storj is able to provide an extra degree of immutability and security while still maintaining lower costs compared to their competition at Amazon.
Unlike many of their competitors, Storj allows for the use of Amazon’s S3 protocol, while still maintaining stable latency. File permissions via Storj Access Grants offer the user good flexibility concerning file access permissions, making Storj easy to use for individuals and capable of handling a wide variety of data. Storj’s efficiency in storing this variable data without sacrificing latency makes it well-positioned to provide comprehensive solutions for the blossoming NFT and metaverse sector, which is heavily reliant on the storage of frequently accessible, complex data.
About ColdStack
ColdStack is a unified protocol which allows for the aggregation of DSNS such as Filecoin, Storj, and Arweave. Coldstack enables the easy use of these platforms without significant integration efforts, regardless of an individual’s familiarity with DSNs. As the first-to-market Decentralized Cloud Aggregator, ColdStack offers a single-entry point to any DSN, optimizing the final costs for consumers with our proprietary AI-based pipeline. Much like how 1inch sources liquidity from a number of different exchange pools, ColdStack supplies its users with the most affordable and convenient way to access storage space from any decentralized cloud.
Uniting the DSN Ecosystem
Our goal is to bring greater adoption to platforms such as Storj, and the many other DSNs we have integrated. Every DSNs plays a critical role in the decentralized ecosystem through their specializations, and we hope that through our aggregation we can create a system in which users can easily access the benefits of each DSN. By doing this, ColdStack can help DSNs overcome centralized networks like Amazon and Google with our platform, and bring mass-adoption to decentralized storage. Storj is unquestionably a leader in this regard, and has made great strides in appealing to those outside of the blockchain and cryptocurrency ecosystem to give decentralized storage a chance through their great usability. On this note, our Storj integration was actually one of the easiest integrations our development team has performed!
Looking Forward
Please be sure to follow both Storj and ColdStack through the links below. Stay tuned for more announcements, as ColdStack continues to develop in an effort to provide the best experience possible for our users. As we have mentioned, we are currently in the process of unveiling our public beta test, which will bring us one step closer to our full platform launch.
