DeNet Storage Protocol v4 is officially live.
Today, DeNet opens a decentralized storage infrastructure to the public - already backed by a live global ecosystem of more than 7 million users worldwide.
Built to scale.
Built to last.
Open to everyone today.
The Internet made data global. DeNet makes it yours.
Watch DeNet Grow in Real Time ๐
Since launching on July 30, the DeNet network has continued to grow every day. Now, with the new DeNet Network Metrics dashboard, you can follow that growth in real time.
Track data stored across decentralized infrastructure, Datakeeper activity, rewards, and more - real decentralization in action.

I don't have to work anymore.
Okay, not quite. But hear me out. ๐
Thought experiment. It's 2031.
@peaq has 25 million registered machines. Every single one has $PEAQ bonded. $PEAQ is trading at $1.
And somewhere in Switzerland, the ridiculous collection of #DePIN hardware I've accumulated over the years has turned into my own little infrastructure business.
My 20 old smartphones provide decentralized compute for machines through @acurast.
@DATSProject finally had its TGE โ yes, it actually happened ๐ โ and my MacBook is monetizing spare compute for the Machine Economy too.
My two @DeNetPro nodes have 50 TB of storage fully utilized, storing data generated by machines across the network.
At today's reported rate of ~$348 per fully utilized TB, that's $17,400 per year.
Meanwhile, $ANYONE is back at $2 and my four @AnyoneFDN routers are earning 4 tokens each per day.
That's another $11,680 per year.
So storage and bandwidth alone are generating $29,080 a year. Compute, $DENET tokens and @silencioNetwork earnings come on top.
Sensors around my house collect real-world data. Smartphones provide compute. Routers provide bandwidth. Hard drives store machine data.
And 20 million machines are out there transacting, earning, paying and consuming those resources.
And then there's my $PEAQ stack, which has casually mooned with PEAQ sitting at $1.
At that point I'd probably look around my DePIN office, apologize to my girlfriend for all the cables I've forbidden her to unplug over the years, and realize:
Wait. I actually don't have to work anymore.
Bring it on, @peaq. ๐
Thanks for sharing your Datakeeper journey!
A few answers to the questions raised:
- The Datakeeper Console is where you can currently find the key information about your nodeโs performance and rewards. Weโre continuing to improve it, so your feedback is very valuable.
- The 7.24 GB shown under โTotal provedโ is the amount of user data currently stored on your node. As storage demand grows, the amount of data stored on your node should grow as well.
- The current $TBY value is $170
- Regarding your allocated storage, please reach out to our support team so we can take a closer look at your setup and help clarify whatโs happening.
We also liked the idea of a simple guide from our Datakeeper :) Shall we discuss it via DM or email?

Your private key is the proof of ownership and the only way to restore access to your account. We can't offer email-based recovery or restore a lost private key without compromising the self-custody model that DeNet is built on. This is why the app asked you to store your private key in a safe location as soon as your account was created.
If you previously imported your key into any wallet, you can export the key and use it to restore your DeNet account
Your important data shouldnโt depend on a single point of failure.
Auto Backup in DeNet Storage helps keep your files secure and private across a decentralized network.
Available for mobile and desktop โ
Never lose what matters
Accidental deletion, device failure, or regional outages shouldnโt cost you years of memories and work.
With Auto Backup in DeNet Storage, your files are backed up automatically across a decentralized network. They stay secure, private, and ready to restore when you need them.
Set it up in a few clicks:
- Open Settings in the DeNet mobile or desktop app
- Choose the photos, videos, files, or folders to protect
- Let the app back them up automatically in the background
Your device can fail. Your important files donโt have to.

People who want to keep their important files somewhere safe, without putting everything in one companyโs hands.
Your photos, documents, work files - things you donโt want to lose because an account gets blocked, a service goes down, or a device breaks.
Thatโs the simple idea behind DeNet Storage.
๐ DeNet Storage Protocol: First 30 Days Live!
One month after opening to the public, DeNetโs vision is taking shape: millions of files stored, growing demand, and real earnings for the people powering the infrastructure.
๐ธ +31% average weekly growth in Storage users
๐ธ 3.5M+ unique files stored across the network
๐ธ 3ร increase in average monthly Datakeeper earnings
๐ธ ~$348 annual Datakeeper earnings per fully utilized TB at current rates
๐ธ 700K+ Proof-of-Storage transactions recorded on @peaq in the first month

Yes, as storage demand grows, Datakeepers have more opportunities to earn from it.
As for TGE, itโs not a deadline weโre trying to hit as quickly as possible. Itโs the next stage of DeNetโs development, and it should happen when the business is ready to support it. Learn more here: https://t.co/NkTsoYXlMZ
@krypton_doc How exactly does launching a live ecosystem before TGE make a project a scam?
DeNet is already live, people are using the storage, and the network is generating real demand. TGE will come as part of the roadmap, itโs not a prerequisite for building and launching a real product
DeNet is building decentralized storage infrastructure, the ecosystem around it, and the economy that allows it to scale. Users are already storing real data, storage demand is growing week over week, and Datakeepers are already earning from that demand.
Like it or not, DeNet isnโt a project with a single feature that can simply be โfinished.โ
If youโre getting weary, take a break. Weโll still be here when youโre back ๐
