Crust

Storage

Crust is a layer-1 blockchain purpose-built to provide decentralized storage solutions for Web3 developers, builders, and end-users. Verified as a DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) project, Crust operates in the domains of Storage and Compute, leveraging a global network of nodes to deliver scalable and secure storage services.

Founded to empower data through decentralization, Crust integrates seamlessly with the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS), providing guaranteed data availability, replication, and redundancy. With a composable tech stack and omnichain interoperability, Crust bridges multiple blockchain ecosystems to deliver a robust, trustless storage solution.

Crust operates as a decentralized storage provider with applications across diverse use cases, including:

DApp and Website Hosting: Secure, unstoppable hosting with no single points of failure.
NFT Storage: Immutable and tamper-proof storage of NFT metadata, ensuring asset ownership and persistence.
Decentralized Social Media: Grants users full control and ownership of their content and data.
Encrypted File Storage: Options for highly secure, private data storage, backed by a global decentralized network.
Gaming and Public File Storage: Ensures public data remains accessible, replicated, and secure.

With partnerships spanning over 150+ projects, Crust is a trusted solution for decentralized storage across Web3 and beyond.

The CRU token powers the Crust Network by serving multiple functions:

Storage Payment: Users pay for decentralized storage services, including IPFS pinning, data replication, and hosting.
Incentives for Node Operators: CRU rewards incentivize global node operators to maintain network performance and reliability.
Governance: CRU holders participate in the network’s decentralized governance, influencing future updates and policies.

Crust’s on-chain storage market allows users to place storage orders transparently, enabling trustless interaction and ensuring data availability through decentralized pinning services.

Crust Network is a leader in decentralized storage, offering trustless, scalable solutions for Web3 projects and ecosystems. Its integration with IPFS and multi-chain interoperability ensures secure, long-term data storage for a wide range of use cases, from NFTs to social media and gaming.

With a robust utility model powered by the CRU token, Crust combines innovation, scalability, and user control to redefine how data is stored and accessed in the decentralized era. As a verified DePIN project, Crust is paving the way for a future where data sovereignty and accessibility are foundational principles.
