[ DECENTRALIZED DURABILITY ENGINE ]

Storage that can't
be stopped.

The sovereign hard drive.

Encrypted. Dispersed. Verified.

Your data is not your own.

Centralized storage means centralized control. One policy change, one hack, one bankruptcy—and your data disappears.

Deplatforming

Accounts banned. Content removed. No recourse, no appeal, no ownership.

Censorship

Governments and corporations decide what stays online. Truth becomes negotiable.

Data Loss

Services shut down. Backups fail. Single points of failure become single points of loss.

Archivist changes everything.

A decentralized durability engine that makes your data unstoppable. No single entity controls your files. No one can delete what you store.

  • 11-nines durability — 99.999999999% data availability
  • Zero trust architecture — Encrypted before it leaves your device
  • Commodity hardware — No specialized equipment required

The R.A.P.I.D. Framework

Five pillars that make Archivist the most durable storage system ever built.

R
Redundancy

Erasure coding splits data across nodes

A
Audits

ZK proofs verify data without revealing it

P
Proactive

Automatic repairs before data is lost

I
Incentives

Economic rewards for reliable storage

D
Dispersal

Geographic distribution prevents failure

Built for the future

Ethereum-Native Marketplace

Seamless integration with L1/L2 ecosystems. Storage contracts settle on-chain with full transparency.

Zero-Knowledge Proofs

Lightweight ZK-PoR audits verify storage without revealing content. Privacy by default.

Stablecoin Settlement

Predictable pricing in stablecoins. No volatility surprises, no complex tokenomics.

Minimal Overhead

Efficient erasure codes keep storage overhead to ~1.3-2x. Store more, pay less.
