Akord

We all have thousands of treasured photos, videos, recordings and other digital files that we want to store and share with those closest. Ideally we'd like to preserve them for generations to come. But hard drives fail and cloud storage requires endless monthly payments and trusting a third party to secure your data. Akord uses the Arweave blockchain to store data... forever! No more monthly payments. When you pay to upload data, your funds go into an endowment that covers sustainable and perpetual storage on the decentralised Arweave network. We also believe that permanent data storage is inherently social. If you want to store something forever, it's because you believe it has value for someone else. That's why we built the vault with collaboration features like invites, notifications and messaging. Finally, everything is end-to-end encrypted in Akord – messaging and file uploads. You own the keys to encryption by creating your own Akord crypto wallet when you sign up. We launched on Arweave last Friday and kicked things off with a special campaign – "1000 for 1000". We're offering the first 1000 users 1000MB of free permanent storage on the Arweave blockchain through Akord. Since last Friday over 400GBs have already gone, so get moving quick if you think this is of interest! Cheers Pascal

Great idea! But is this scalable?

👍👍 Great project. Permanent decentralized storage is need of the day. It will grow tremendously. Price structure should must remain justifiable.

Great idea. Love to see the expansion of blockchain use cases!
