Crust Network protocol
Overview
Crust Network is a decentralized cloud storage protocol that implements a Proof of Storage (PoS) mechanism on top of IPFS, using the Polkadot ecosystem. It aims to provide a verifiable storage marketplace where nodes earn rewards for storing user data.
Within the DeFi Intel graph, Crust Network connects to 2 tracked entities, most strongly to Polkadot, InterPlanetary File System.

Frequently asked questions
What is Crust Network?
Crust Network is a decentralized storage protocol built on Substrate, leveraging IPFS and the Polkadot cross-chain framework to offer secure, verifiable cloud storage services.
How does Crust Network ensure data availability?
Crust uses a Proof of Storage (PoS) consensus mechanism where storage nodes must periodically submit proofs to demonstrate they are correctly storing assigned data, which is verified on-chain.
What is the role of the CRU token?
The CRU token is used for paying storage fees, staking by storage nodes to secure the network, and participating in on-chain governance.
What is Crust Network connected to?
In the DeFi Intel knowledge graph, Crust Network is linked to 2 other tracked entities, most strongly to Polkadot, InterPlanetary File System.
