Storj

Storj is in the midst of a rearchitecture. Please stay tuned for our v3 whitepaper!

---

Storj is a platform, token, and suite of decentralized applications that allows you to store data in a secure and decentralized manner. Your files are encrypted, shredded into little pieces and stored in a global decentralized network of computers. Luckily, we also support allowing you (and only you) to recover them!
