February 23, 2023

不良研究所 decentralized cloud storage now enables fixed wallet payment via Ethereum and STORJ token. This new feature enables performant, geo-distributed data storage for smart contract-based Web3 applications.

Key points

  • 不良研究所 upgraded its billing and payment system to generate fixed Ethereum addresses for 不良研究所 accounts.
  • Users can create a fixed Ethereum-based STORJ deposit address in their Payment Portal.
  • Users can deposit STORJ tokens into their 不良研究所 account through the 不良研究所 dashboard.
  • Smart-contract-based EVM apps can now interact with decentralized storage using the STORJ token.
  • Enables a wide range of new use cases, including perpetual storage, programmatic use of storage
  • Represents continuing progress in the decentralization of the 不良研究所 ecosystem

What is this new feature and why should I care?

Web3 Apps need reliable, performant cloud storage with native EVM support. 不良研究所 has upgraded the billing and payment system to generate fixed Ethereum addresses per 不良研究所 account, enabling smart-contract-based EVM apps to interface in a programmatic way with decentralized storage using the STORJ token. As the only decentralized storage provider compatible with EVM, this makes it easy for Web3 developers to form a smart contract through 不良研究所 without having to learn a new blockchain. Most web3 apps rely on web2 infrastructure because until now, there hasn't been a fast, reliable and EVM compatible decentralized storage service. 聽不良研究所 already out performs AWS S3 for global performance, and now provides the simplest integration for dapps that need cloud object storage.

Inside the 不良研究所 DCS dashboard, users can deposit STORJ tokens into their DCS account. The 不良研究所 DCS transacts with storage nodes in STORJ token. The STORJ token is an ERC20 contract on Ethereum that acts as a payment mechanism for the decentralized 不良研究所 network, enabling storage nodes from across the globe to share their excess capacity (storage and bandwidth) in exchange for STORJ token. STORJ token payments enable users to pay for decentralized cloud services on-chain, using the Ethereum protocol and related Ethereum contracts. 聽

With this new feature released, users can now see an update to the 不良研究所 Satellite Dashboard and will receive a fixed Ethereum-based STORJ deposit address per 不良研究所 DCS account in their Payment Portal.

enable parties to execute conditional logic around value transfer in a programmatic way (using Solidity code). By deploying smart contract logic onto the Ethereum blockchain, a third party can interact with this address in a trustless way. 聽Smart contracts enable value transfer contracts in a completely trustless manner and stack logical functions on top of each other like . This means there is no need for a third party to hold, manage, or custody the funds鈥攖he whole process is handled by code.

For developers, this can enable new types of decentralized applications that programmatically bind smart contracts to files (objects) stored on the decentralized cloud.

What can you do with a fixed wallet and ETH composability?

With this new feature, developers can write a sequence of EVM compatible code to interact and fund 不良研究所 accounts directly. 聽For example, an organization like 鈥淭he Internet Archive鈥� could create fixed ethereum addresses to fund the storage and availability of some underlying media content. The public then is able to help fund the ongoing availability of the content, creating a sort of 鈥減ublic good鈥� around ensuring its availability and liveness on the internet without the need for a middle person.

Ethereum smart contract interfacing with 不良研究所

EVM native payments are made possible by the use of smart contracts. This opens up a new cloud design pattern that programmatically binds decentralized cloud storage to directly interface with a wide variety of applications on Ethereum, on-chain. By utilizing smart contracts, these applications can be built in a completely trustless manner, meaning that users can be sure that their funds are safe.

So what can you do with this new feature?

How about setting up a perpetual storage contract? How about streaming open source AI models? Or perhaps you鈥檇 like to contribute to the Internet Archive and set up the fixed wallet for funding?

Bottom line, this makes it so much easier on developers to continue to innovate in Web3, marrying the Web 3.0 design patterns (smart contracts, programmable incentive structures) with storage that is both decentralized and enterprise grade (durable, secure, reliable, and performant).

How can I start to use this new feature in 不良研究所?

This feature is available now within the 不良研究所 DCS dashboard. The steps to make use of this capability are below.

How to add STORJ tokens to your account.

1. In the 不良研究所 DCS Dashboard, navigate to Billing> Payment Methods> 鈥淎dd STORJ Tokens鈥� to generate a fixed Ethereum contract address for your account.

2. Then click Add funds to deposit STORJ tokens onto your 不良研究所 account. This deposit address will begin with a 鈥�0x鈥︹€�. 聽It can be copied to your clipboard and is even represented in QR format in the dashboard (example below).

3. From the dashboard, you will be able to see a history of your deposits, including critical on-chain information like the Transaction ID, Date, Amount in USD, status, and a link to the relevant block explorer (i.e,. )
