What is Storj?
Storj is a blockchain-based and completely open-source cloud storage platform. Fundamentally, it uses a decentralized network of nodes to host user data. The platform also secures hosted data with advanced encryption. Storj was first introduced to the world as a concept with a whitepaper published in December 2014.
Initially, Storj aimed to be a completely decentralized, peer-to-peer encrypted cloud storage platform. Two years later, an updated version of the whitepaper was released. Here, a decentralized network that connects users in need of cloud storage space with those who have hard disk space to sell was defined. The platform was launched at the end of 2018.
Currently, individuals with a hard disk space and a good internet connection can join the Storj network and become a unit called a node. Space providers are rewarded with STORJ tokens.
