Recently, the storage tokens’ price performance is amazing and catches the crypto community’s attention. One of the storage token STORJ price went up 24.6% in the past 7 days. 

 

What’s the difference between Blockchain storage and centralized cloud storage? 

Usually, decentralized storage would be cheaper, more secure and more reliable compared to centralized cloud storage. By making use of the empty hard drive from users all over the world, it cuts up the cost of storage. For example, the fee of blockchain storage on Storj’s Taradigrade service is only $0.01 per GB per month.

Another advantage is that the data private key is completely under the control of users, with no third party has access to.

 

Today we’re going to review the 7 blockchain storage projects and their tokens that many people highly look upon.

For more professional use, you could download the lightweight BitTorrent Classic Torrent Desktop App. You’ll get a helpful torrent downloader that could download dozens of files at the same time. You could even use a scheduler to specify the times of day to download or seed using your torrent. 

BitTorrent has issued its utility token BTT, a TRC-10 token based on the Tron blockchain. BTT tokens can be provided to uploaders in exchange for faster downloading. This is completed with a feature called BitTorrent Speed. If you are downloading torrents, BitTorrent Speed automatically bids BTT to other users for faster speeds. All you need to do is use the torrent program like normal. And you could earn BTT when a torrent file finishes downloading. These BTT tokens are stored in your account wallet and could be transferred to your other wallets.

Arweave is a global, community-owned web that anyone can contribute to or get paid to maintain. According to the team, on top of the core Arweave data storage layer, sits the “permaweb”, which is a collection of interlinked documents and applications. With this collectively owned hard drive, you are able to remember and preserve valuable information, apps. It also preserves the editing history, so that any rewriting to your data would be recorded.

If you have extra storage space, you can get paid by renting it to others.

Arweave’s token AR could be mined in the same way of mining bitcoin.


 

Crust Network

Token: CRU

Crust Network provides a decentralized storage network of Web3 ecosystem. It supports multiple storage layer protocols such as IPFS, and exposes storage interfaces to the application layer. Crust's technical stack is also capable of supporting a decentralized computing layer. 

It is designed to build a decentralized cloud ecosystem. Its hardware encryption and decentralized space will protect you from privacy leaks. There will be 2 products. Crust Cloud is like the decentralized iCloud that provides you a cloud storage service. Crust Cloud Enterprise is like the Uber for Cloud that provides a more powerful storage service at an enterprise-level.

The native token CRU is a utility token representing the value of the entire network, similar to ETH in Ethereum or DOT in Polkadot.


 

 

Siacoin

Token: SC

Sia provides decentralized storage for the post-cloud world.

Unlike traditional cloud storage,  all your files are stored and distributed across a decentralized network. No signups, no servers, no third parties can access or control your files. You could enjoy cloud storage with more privacy.

Sia creates a storage marketplace based on the blockchain, and completely open-source. Many service providers are competing in the market. And you can buy storage service with Sia’s own token Siacoin (SC). The way to earn SC is mining, just the same as bitcoin. Or you could buy it from exchanges.



 

Storj

Token: STORJ

Storj is a decentralized cloud storage platform for node operators and developers to experience a fast, safe and affordable storage alternative.

Lambda

Token: LAMB

Lambda is a platform for decentralized data storage technology.

Lambda provides a secure, reliable, and infinitely scalable decentralized storage network. It claims to use an innovative PoST (Proof of Space-Time).
