Build Apps on Encrypted Storage

Build applications on encrypted, peer-to-peer storage. S3-compatible API for object storage, revenue sharing when your users store data, and the Sia SDK for direct access.

Storage Layer

One Storage Layer, Many Applications

S3-compatible storage is just the first interface built on this layer. The same encrypted, peer-to-peer storage can power databases, file sync, backup tools, or anything else you want to build. Your app, our infrastructure.

Architecture

How It Works

Technical overview. Your app sends data through the storage layer. Data is encrypted client-side. Fragments are distributed across the Sia network. Only your user holds the key.

The live interface today is S3-compatible. Here's a simple example:

aws s3 cp backup.tar.gz s3://my-bucket/ --endpoint-url https://your-server.example

The Sia SDK is also available for direct access to the storage layer if you need lower-level control.

Revenue Sharing

Earn When Your Users Store Data

When your app's users sign up for Pinner and store data, you earn a share. This is a program with eligibility and terms. Not a guarantee. See the partner program for full details.

Frequently Asked Questions

Anything that stores data privately. Backup tools, file sync apps, database storage, encrypted note-taking. If your app needs to store data that only the user can read, this layer handles it.

When users sign up through your app and store data on Pinner, you earn a share of their storage revenue. See the partner program for full details, eligibility, and terms.

S3 is one interface to the storage layer. If your app needs object storage, use S3. If you need lower-level access or a different interface, the same encrypted storage layer is available through the Sia SDK.
