How does Storj decentralized storage work?

Files are encrypted on your device, split into 80 encrypted pieces, and distributed across 40+ storage nodes globally. Only 29 pieces are needed to reconstruct the file, ensuring redundancy and privacy.

Can I swap STORJ without KYC?

Yes. SyntheticSwap supports STORJ swaps with no registration or identity verification.

How do I earn STORJ tokens?

Run a Storj storage node on your computer (with spare hard drive space and bandwidth) and earn STORJ payments from clients storing data on your node.

Is Storj compatible with Amazon S3?

Yes. Storj provides an S3-compatible gateway, allowing existing S3-based applications to switch to Storj decentralized storage with minimal code changes.

What network is STORJ on?

STORJ is an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum network.

About Storj

Storj (STORJ) is a decentralized cloud storage platform that allows users to rent out unused hard drive space in exchange for STORJ tokens, or store files across a distributed network of storage nodes instead of centralized servers like Amazon S3. Files on Storj are encrypted client-side, split into 80 pieces, and distributed across at least 40 different storage nodes around the world, requiring only 29 pieces to reconstruct the file. This architecture means no single node operator can access your data, and files remain accessible even if most nodes go offline. STORJ is the ERC-20 utility token used for payments between clients and storage node operators.
