Storj

Red de Almacenamiento Descentralizada

S3-compatible decentralized cloud object storage platform that splits client-side encrypted files into 80 erasure-coded shards distributed across thousands of independent storage nodes globally. Provides enterprise-grade durability (11 nines) at significantly lower cost than centralized providers.

Red de Almacenamiento Descentralizada Atributos

Orígenes

Cloud storage / S3-alternative

Base de Datos

Distributed (erasure-coded shards across nodes; satellite manages metadata with PostgreSQL)

Lenguaje de Consulta

S3-compatible API; REST API

Formatos de Datos

Any (binary; S3-compatible object storage)

Soporte Móvil

N/A (infrastructure layer; mobile SDKs available)

Soporte Web

Yes (S3-compatible web access; browser uploads via presigned URLs)

Aplicaciones Nativas

N/A (storage infrastructure; integrates with Rclone, FileZilla, etc.)

Términos

Paid SaaS (pay-per-GB); STORJ token accepted for payment

Fondos

~$410K (2014 BTC crowdfund); $3M private sale + $30M ICO (2017); additional VC rounds

Basado En

Novel (proprietary protocol; S3-compatible interface layer)

Arquitectura P2P

DHT (nodes discovered via satellite; direct client-to-node uploads)

Red de Superposición

Global

Direccionamiento por Contenido

Yes (erasure-coded shards addressed by hash; file addressed by metadata on satellite)

Local-First

N/A (cloud storage model)

Cifrado de Extremo a Extremo (E2EE)

Yes (client-side encryption before upload; zero-knowledge architecture — Storj nodes see only encrypted shards)

Tolerancia a Fallos Bizantinos

Partial (erasure coding tolerates node failures; Satellite is semi-centralized coordination layer)

Firma

ECDSA (macaroon-based access grants); TLS for node-satellite comms

Permisos

Cryptographic Capabilities (macaroon/ZKAP access grants with caveats; UCANs-like delegation)

Compatibilidad con la Web Semántica

N/A

Contrato Inteligente

Posición en la Pila del Protocolo

Application-layer (built on TCP/IP)

Incorporación de Activos/Valor

Application-layer add-on (STORJ ERC-20 token used for payment; not embedded at protocol level)

Madurez del Protocolo / Estandarización

De Facto Standard (proprietary open standard; widely deployed production system)

Política de Actualización

Mutable (latest only) — objects can be overwritten or deleted; versioning available via S3-compatible APIs

Mecanismo de Prueba de Almacenamiento

Erasure coding with audit (Satellite continuously audits nodes by requesting random shards; failed audits reduce node reputation and payment)

Modelo Económico / de Incentivos

Fiat/stablecoin payments (node operators paid in STORJ tokens or USD based on storage + bandwidth provided; Satellite manages billing)

Garantía de Recuperación

Strong (SLA-backed; 11-nines durability; 80-shard erasure coding means any 29 of 80 shards sufficient for retrieval)
