Sia, a User-Owned Amazon S3 Challenger

In plain words

Sia is a decentralized cloud storage platform that offers an alternative to Amazon S3. It enables users to rent out unused hard drive space on their computers to the network while simultaneously purchasing storage from other users. The platform is designed for individuals and businesses seeking data storage solutions with a peer-to-peer model rather than relying on centralized cloud providers.
