what's Storacha Network?
Storacha Network is a decentralized hot storage protocol that transforms web3 storage into a community-powered solution, enabling users to store and retrieve data efficiently across a distributed network. Built on IPFS for content-addressing and Filecoin for persistent storage, it provides a universal interface for AI agents and applications to interact with data without relying on custom APIs or centralized databases. This setup ensures data sovereignty, as files are encrypted, sharded, and stored redundantly across global nodes operated by community participants. The network incentivizes participation through rewards for storage providers and users, fostering a scalable ecosystem for hot data needs like real-time backups, AI model training, and dApp operations. By leveraging proven decentralized infrastructure, Storacha addresses bottlenecks in traditional cloud storage, offering faster access times and lower costs while maintaining censorship resistance and verifiability through blockchain primitives.
