Crust

Crust is a developer and provider of a decentralized network for the Web3 ecosystem. The company supports multiple storage layer protocols including IPFS, provides interfaces to the application layer, and supports a decentralized computing layer. Crust's technical stack is capable of supporting a decentralized computing layer and is designed to build a decentralized cloud ecosystem for data privacy and ownership.

Crust is a public chain that creates an incentive layer protocol for decentralized storage. The network operates on meaningful proof-of-work (Mpow) and guaranteed proof-of-stake (Gpos) while working to offer security with low energy consumption. This technology is used to integrate and allocate storage resources through decentralized storage. This technology offers a decentralized storage network solution and provides an incentive layer for IPFS protocol and uses the blockchain technology for security, privacy, performance, and ownership of data. The following are potential and suggested use cases for Crust Network:

• Providing the technical infrastructure for the Metaverse
• Fully decentralized minting, storing, and exchanging of NFTs
• Hosting of websites, dApps, and video streaming
• Web3 gaming and decentralized social media
• Personal cloud storage to access data anywhere
• File sharing and streaming services

The company's roadmap saw the launch of the mainnet on the 1st of September in 2021, capable of holding a storage capacity of around 2,200 petabytes on more than 8,000 individual nodes. Crust is able to integrate with many blockchains, including Ethereum, BSC, Polygon, Solana, Near, Elrond, and Heco, among others, with the company working to implement its services on more networks in order to provide storage solutions for all ecosystems.

As well, the company is working to provide more services for Web3 and Web2 for projects and companies to utilize and to build on, offering support for building a decentralized computing layer and a decentralized cloud ecosystem.
