Sia is a decentralized, blockchain-based peer-to-peer cloud storage marketplace where users rent storage from hosts, with files encrypted and sharded across the network. This GitHub repository is the original Go implementation, which has since moved to GitLab and been superseded by newer Sia software (renterd, hostd, walletd).
Use cases
- store files on a decentralized cloud storage network
- rent out spare disk space and earn siacoin
- run a sia storage node
- encrypt and distribute files across a p2p network
- avoid centralized cloud providers like AWS S3
- build applications on a blockchain storage marketplace
When to choose
- you want censorship-resistant, encrypted cloud storage without a central provider
- you want to earn cryptocurrency by hosting storage for others
- you need a self-hosted alternative to Dropbox or S3 backed by a blockchain
- you are studying decentralized storage protocol design
When to avoid
- you need a simple managed cloud storage service with a polished app
- you want active development on GitHub - the project moved to GitLab and newer Sia software lives elsewhere
- you cannot tolerate cryptocurrency payments or blockchain complexity
- you need guaranteed low-latency or high-throughput object storage
