Storj is a cloud storage platform dedicated to being censorship-free, monitoring-free, and non-downtime. The Storj platform allows users to store data in a secure and decentralized way through encryption and a series of decentralized applications. It uses block transaction features such as transaction ledgers, public/private key encryption, and cryptographic hash functions for security. Also, it will be cheaper, faster and more secure than traditional cloud storage services.
Storj is working hard to solve data security issues with the help of its own web application, MetaDisk and the client application DriveShare. It is a decentralized end-to-end encrypted cloud storage that uses blockchain technology and encryption to protect online files. STORJ tokens are used to rent or buy storage space on the Storj network.
Storj's core goal is to improve traditional cloud storage services and put users back in "control" of their devices and data. Decentralization means that Storj has no central server. In addition, due to the use of client-side encryption technology, only end users can access decrypted files and keys, which greatly improves file security.
Storj includes a platform, a digital currency and a series of applications that allow users to store data. It utilizes some functions of the blockchain, such as transaction ledger, public and private keys, and secure cryptographic hashes. Storj provides users with the most secure, private and encrypted cloud storage based on Bitcoin blockchain technology and network transmission methods.
Storj splits each file into chunks, encrypts them, and distributes them to the Storj network for storage. The network includes driveshare nodes, where users around the world rent out their spare hard drive space in exchange for Storjcoin X (SJCX).
Storj Labs plans to build the world's first distributed cloud storage platform, allowing anyone to buy and sell storage space with each other in a P2P network, and provide DaaS (Data as a Service) tools and programming interface.
