Decentralized cloud storage
June 2017
Storj
Storj (STORJ) is a token used to pay for secure, decentralized cloud storage. Launched in 2017, it lets people rent unused hard drive space from others and payments are made in STORJ tokens. This creates a cheaper, more private alternative to traditional services like AWS or Dropbox.

Technology & Use Case
Storj powers a distributed cloud storage network—data is encrypted, split into pieces (sharding), and spread across many computers. This makes files secure, private, and fault-tolerant. Users pay in STORJ tokens, and storage providers are regularly audited to ensure data integrity.
Origins & Team
Storj was conceived in 2014 by Shawn Wilkinson and John Quinn, with the first white paper later that year. Its platform officially launched in 2017 via a token sale, raising over $30 million. The current version, Storj V3, went live in 2019 with improvements in performance and security.
Ecosystem & Partnerships
Storj’s token powers payments within the network, incentivizing node operators for storage and bandwidth services. Its decentralized model offers developers a secure storage option built for blockchain applications. Ongoing updates continue improving reliability, auditability, and enterprise readiness.
