We’re excited to announce our partnership with Storacha, the blazing-fast decentralized storage network that brings hot storage to the Web3 world. Storacha is the evolution of Web3 Storage, designed to handle massive data needs without sacrificing decentralization, speed, or reliability.
At Spheron, we’re on a mission to make compute accessible, permissionless, and globally distributed. Storacha shares this vision in the storage layer, and together, we’re laying the groundwork for a fully decentralized internet infrastructure.
This partnership is a step toward a more open, scalable, and resilient Web3 future.
The Challenge with Centralized Infrastructure
As more developers, apps, and protocols enter Web3, the need for reliable storage grows. But most teams still rely on centralized storage and compute platforms. These systems create bottlenecks, introduce single points of failure, and often come with high costs or limited availability.
Even within the decentralized world, many storage platforms struggle with performance issues or require trust in centralized nodes. This defeats the purpose of decentralization and slows down adoption.
Web3 applications need storage that’s fast, flexible, and secure, without compromising on decentralization. That’s the gap Storacha is here to fill.
Storacha: Decentralized Hot Storage at Scale
Storacha offers a next-generation hot storage layer backed by Filecoin and delivered via IPFS. It uses content-addressed storage and decentralized authentication via UCANs (User Controlled Authorization Networks). This means users can store, access, and manage their data without relying on centralized identity providers or storage vendors.
What sets Storacha apart is its ability to offer scalable storage performance with cryptographic guarantees. By combining Filecoin’s trustless persistence with IPFS’s fast retrieval capabilities, Storacha gives developers the best of both worlds.
Whether you’re building dApps, protocols, or AI pipelines, Storacha makes sure your data is always available, portable, and verifiable.
Spheron’s Role in Supporting Storacha’s Vision
For any decentralized storage system to deliver consistently high performance, it needs powerful compute infrastructure behind the scenes. That’s where Spheron Network comes in.
Spheron provides a decentralized, global compute layer powered by idle GPUs, CPUs, and Mac nodes. With over 8,300+ GPUs, 600,000+ CPUs, and 36,000+ Mac machines in our network, we give Web3 projects like Storacha the ability to scale without friction.
By leveraging Spheron’s decentralized GPU and compute layer, Storacha can process uploads, run metadata services, validate data proofs, and perform retrieval operations with high speed and global availability.
This partnership makes Storacha more reliable, more resilient, and more scalable, without giving up decentralization. It also aligns with our vision of creating a permissionless compute backbone for the decentralized internet.
What This Partnership Means
With this partnership, Storacha will utilize Spheron’s decentralized compute to power critical components of its hot storage infrastructure. Our compute will be used for tasks like:
-
Real-time content verification
-
Metadata indexing and retrieval
-
Storage coordination and Filecoin deal processing
Together, we’re solving the infrastructure challenge many decentralized storage solutions face: how to run at global scale without depending on cloud monopolies. Storacha brings the storage, Spheron brings the compute. The result? A faster, more resilient, and fully decentralized storage solution for Web3 builders.
Looking Ahead: Scaling Decentralization Together
This partnership is more than just integration; it’s a shared commitment to building a better Web3. By combining Spheron’s decentralized compute with Storacha’s scalable storage, we’re showing that high performance and decentralization don’t have to be opposites. In fact, they go hand in hand.
As Web3 adoption grows, we believe infrastructure must keep pace, without giving up on its core values. Storacha and Spheron together are laying the foundation for the next generation of dApps, AI tools, decentralized identity systems, and storage-based protocols.
If you’re a developer, protocol builder, or Web3 founder, now is the time to start building on infrastructure that works for you, not against you.
Let’s make the decentralized future faster, fairer, and more powerful—together.
