CT3 has unveiled its next-generation decentralized storage solution, known as CT3 Secure Storage, officially opening its doors to users worldwide. The launch marks a significant milestone for the platform after extensive development and private beta testing, ensuring stability and functionality. With this release, CT3 aims to provide users with real ownership of their data, integrating Web3 principles into a familiar cloud service framework.
Leandro Gomez, CEO of CT3, emphasized the importance of this launch, stating, “This launch is more than a product release – it”s the beginning of a new chapter for decentralized storage.” The platform is committed to addressing the real-world needs of users by offering a scalable, affordable, and privacy-centric storage solution.
Future Expansion Plans
The introduction of CT3 Secure Storage is merely the first step in the company”s broader vision. CT3 plans to expand its ecosystem by incorporating features such as decentralized application (dApp) hosting, allowing developers to create and deploy applications directly on the CT3 infrastructure. Additionally, CT3 is pursuing long-term storage agreements with corporate clients to manage large datasets.
Infrastructure Migration to Enhance User Experience
In a strategic move to improve reliability and user experience, CT3 has migrated its infrastructure from Solana to Polygon (EVM). This decision was influenced by the numerous advantages offered by Polygon, including:
- Enhanced wallet interactions with popular tools like MetaMask and Trust Wallet
- Streamlined payment and refund processes, eliminating rent-style charges for creating unique payment addresses
- Improved integrations within marketplaces, facilitating better management and trading of NFT keys
- Reduced transaction costs, making ERC-721 NFTs more accessible
- Easier visibility and tracking of NFTs across wallets and blockchain explorers
This infrastructure upgrade is designed to provide CT3 with a more stable operational environment, crucial for scaling effectively in the long term.
Innovative Storage Access and Pricing Model
CT3 has introduced a novel access model where file storage can be controlled via NFT keys. This Web3-native approach enables users to manage and transfer file access securely without the need for re-uploading or centralized permissions. The platform supports file sizes of up to 1TB, incorporates chunked uploads for reliability, and adopts a transparent pay-as-you-go pricing strategy. Users only pay for the storage they utilize, with no subscription fees or charges for unused capacity. In cases where files are deleted prematurely, CT3 automatically refunds the cost of the unused storage period.
The technical architecture of CT3 employs a dual-token economic model aimed at maintaining predictable storage costs. One token is linked to the daily cost of storing 1GB of data, while another ecosystem token fosters liquidity and supports long-term growth. To enhance stability amid market fluctuations, CT3 implements an automated rebalancing mechanism between these two assets, paired with a verification logic that optimizes node checks based on performance and reputation.
Cost Efficiency Compared to Traditional Providers
CT3″s decentralized storage solution promises significant cost advantages over traditional cloud service providers like AWS and Google Cloud. By leveraging distributed capacity provided by independent miners and node operators, CT3 eliminates the burden of centralized infrastructure costs and corporate pricing models, ultimately creating a more market-driven storage supply.
Founded in 2022, CT3 aims to revolutionize data storage in the digital age, prioritizing principles of security, anonymity, and freedom of speech. The company is dedicated to empowering users to protect their data and express themselves freely.
