Sia

In plain words

Sia is a decentralized storage platform built on blockchain technology. It allows users to rent out unused hard drive space or purchase storage from a distributed network of providers. Designed for developers and those seeking Web3 solutions, Sia enables peer-to-peer file storage without relying on centralized data centers. The platform uses its own cryptocurrency to facilitate transactions between storage providers and renters.

  Talanoa▲340

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client.
