Decentralized storage is still very difficult to utilize for the everyday consumer and enterprise. It requires complex software needing to be constantly running to ensure file health, and wallets fed with cryptocurrency. We recognized early on that an “easy on-ramp” was necessary for wide-scale adoption and use of these disruptive technologies.

By using Filebase, there are no traditional complexities that are associated with storing data on decentralized networks directly, such as:

  • No minimum storage duration periods.
  • No minimum file size.
  • No minimum sector size.
  • No retrieval delays.
  • No API charges.
  • No ingress fees.
  • No management of cryptocurrencies.
  • No use of special software.
  • No technical skill set required.
