Crust (CRU)

Crust Network (CRU) is a decentralized cloud storage provider designed to prioritize decentralization, privacy, and security. It supports multiple storage-layer protocols like IPFS and offers users instant, accessible on-chain storage functions. Crust Network has three main functions: NFT and Metaverse Metadata storage, personal file storage, and Website/dApp hosting. By utilizing Crust, individuals and businesses can decentralize their data and participate in the Web 3.0 revolution.

Crust Network employs a trustless and low-cost TEE-based technology called MPoW (Meaningful Proof of Work) to validate and manage storage resources. This ensures decentralization and privacy while guaranteeing the safety and efficiency of the network through a PoS-derived consensus called GPoS (Guaranteed Proof of Stake). Additionally, Crust has created an on-chain storage marketplace called DSM (Decentralized Storage Market), allowing users to upload files and place storage orders easily in just minutes. The network provides global replication to maintain file availability and offers a storage assurance pool for high-value files like NFT metadata.

For developers and users of decentralized applications (dApps), Crust provides accessibility and security. Storing and hosting dApps or websites on Crust Network reduces cybersecurity risks and protects user assets from front-end-related security breaches. By distributing replications globally, Crust ensures the stability of dApps and prevents single-point-of-failure events. Crust Network has been integrated with various industry-leading projects such as Uniswap, Aave, and IPFS Docs, showcasing its trustworthiness and capability to serve as a secure storage solution for the decentralized ecosystem.
