siacoin is my unicorn
Sia combines a peer-to-peer network with blockchain technology to create the world's first decentralized storage platform.
Vision
Sia is reinventing cloud storage. Our technology connects users who need file storage with hosts worldwide offering underutilized hard drive capacity. Our blockchain technology secures their data and enables breakthrough economics for users and hosts.
The Sia blockchain allows us to run this marketplace without an intermediary. We secure storage transactions with smart contracts, creating a more reliable and affordable offering when compared to traditional cloud providers. No one person or organization can censor or deny access to data — not miners, not developers, nor any government. Sia’s distributed, decentralized storage technology is stronger, more secure, more efficient, and more equitable for the entire ecosystem.
Sia believes that neither individuals nor institutions should be beholden to large corporations. Sia was created to promote and safeguard users’ freedoms. It’s our attempt to bring decentralized storage built on blockchain technology to the mainstream without sacrificing price or performance.
Our long term goal is for Sia to become the backbone storage layer of the Internet.
