- CT3 was founded in 2022 with the aim of reimagining the way data is stored. The company specializes in decentralized data storage and uses proprietary technologies whose performance clearly stands out from the competition.
- The company has now completed the development of its decentralized storage solution and it is available to customers as a turnkey CT3 Secure Storage System.
CT3 Secure Storage combines Web3 ownership models with the ease of use of modern cloud services while eliminating the risks of centralized control and opaque pricing structures. CEO Leandro Gomez explains the CT3 Secure Storage System succinctly:
“This launch is more than just a product launch – it marks the beginning of a new chapter for distributed storage technology. We’re giving customers true ownership of their data and a system that can scale globally.”
System expansions and corporate partnerships
The public launch is just the beginning. CT3 will continue to expand its system – including dApp hosting, so that developers can deploy decentralized applications directly on the CT3 infrastructure. In parallel, CT3 is actively negotiating long-term storage contracts with corporate customers for large-volume data volumes.
Infrastructure migration to Polygon EVM
In the final development phase, CT3 made a strategic decision: to fully migrate from Solana to the Polygon EVM to further improve reliability and user experience.
The move was made for the following reasons:
- More robust wallet interactions via widely used tools like MetaMask and Trust Wallet
- Improved payment and reimbursement mechanisms as Polygon does not charge “rent”-like costs for generating individual payment addresses
- Stronger marketplace integrations, allowing NFT keys to be managed and traded via platforms such as OpenSea
- Low transaction costs that make standard ERC 721 NFTs affordable without relying on compressed formats
- Easier NFT visibility and tracking in wallets and block explorers
This migration provides CT3 with a transparent infrastructure and a robust foundation for long-term growth.
System architecture and access model
CT3 introduces a novel model in which stored files are accessed via NFT keys. This gives customers a Web3-native way to securely manage or transfer file access – without re-uploading or central authorization systems.
The system supports
- Files up to 1TB
- Chunked uploads for stable transfers, including partial uploads
- A transparent pay-as-you-go pricing model – billing is based solely on file size and storage duration, without subscription or unused capacity
- Automatic refund in case of early deletion
Technically, the CT3 system is based on a 2 token model designed to ensure stable, predictable storage prices: one token is linked to the cost of storing 1 GB per day, while another token supports liquidity and long-term network growth. An automatic rebalancing mechanism stabilizes the system in times of strong market volatility.
The storage infrastructure also uses a reliable verification model that dynamically adapts the testing effort to the reputation and performance of the nodes – for better scalability at low costs.
Cheaper than traditional cloud storage
CT3 is designed to be cost-effective from the ground up. In contrast to centralized providers such as AWS or Google Cloud, CT3 relies on the decentralized capacities of independent miners and node operators. This allows the network to rely on truly market-driven storage offerings – without the high overhead costs of central data centers, complex pricing or subscription models.
CT3 as a company
At the heart of the company’s philosophy are three basic principles: security, anonymity and freedom of expression. CT3 believes that every customer has the right to protect their data, maintain their privacy and express their thoughts freely – without the risk of censorship or data leaks.
