DeNet (@DeNetPro) Storage Protocol v4 is live — public launch, July 30, 2026, after 9 years of development
At launch:
▫️ 7 million registered users
▫️ 2,000+ active storage providers (Datakeepers) across 194 countries
▫️ 2.9 million Watcher Nodes continuously verifying data availability
The protocol is an infrastructure layer — encryption, distribution, verification, and retrieval of data across a decentralized network. Global unused storage capacity replaces centralized data centers. Data ownership stays with the user, not with a cloud provider

Hey, Watchers!
Since the public launch of the DeNet protocol, we've seen questions about what comes next for Wacther Nodes, and how rewards and future distributions are connected to the ecosystem launch.
📚 We're preparing a complete Watcher Node Guide to answer everything in one place.
❓ Drop your questions in the comments below. We'll collect the most common ones and publish detailed answers so every Watcher can clearly understand their role in the ecosystem and what to expect next 👇
Millions of users.
Thousands of storage nodes.
One decentralized storage protocol.
Built. Tested. Ready.
DeNet Storage Protocol goes public on July 30.
Technical Maintenance Incoming
⚙️ Due to scheduled maintenance, the Watcher Node will be temporarily unavailable for 1 hour, Jul 21, 7:00-8:00 am (UTC)
Stay tuned for updates!

Product Expert: A Role Within DeNet Ecosystem
The first wave of Product Experts is now forming from the most engaged Storage Beta testers - participants who reached 2,000 points and demonstrated real impact on the ecosystem.
These are the contributors who actively tested, shared valuable feedback, and helped shape DeNet Storage ahead of its upcoming public launch. Soon, their status will be formally recognized, and their addresses recorded in the protocol’s smart contract.
What the Product Expert role means:
• Early access to upcoming DeNet features and products
• Real influence over product direction and key decisions
• Increased visibility within the community
❓I participated in DeNet Storage Beta. Can I become a Product Expert?
Yes - if you earned 2,000 points during the Storage Beta. Check your progress in the app and complete any remaining tasks - you still have an opportunity to achieve this role.
Product Expert is part of DeNet’s evolving role system, where deeper involvement leads to greater influence and recognition. The first wave is only the beginning, and more paths for active contributors are still ahead.

"Let's build it."
Less than 24 hours later, the DeNet team had a working demo running.
At the @googlegemma × @cerebras hackathon, we've built a new use case for the DeNet Storage Protocol - helping businesses adopt AI safely by storing agent sessions, fine-tuning data, and open code on DeNet, not on centralized servers prone to leaks.
This is exactly why we build: to turn emerging market needs into real infrastructure.
We're excited to share more soon. If you believe AI needs decentralized infrastructure, we'd love your likes, comments and reposts 🚀
Watch demo 👇
This is a part of your life and that deserves infrastructure built without compromise.
DeNet Storage protects what matters most with a decentralized architecture and end-to-end encryption. No single points of failure. No single point of control.
🔐 Is your AI agent's data actually safe?
AI agents have already evolved into real business tools, running workflows and generating revenue. Yet, clear standards for protecting agent data, prompts, and outputs are still missing.
These risks are already visible across the industry:
- Providers can revoke access or change terms at any time
- Failures can lead to data loss or deletion
- Accounts, workspaces, or histories can become unavailable unexpectedly
- Agents themselves can overwrite or corrupt the data they manage
What’s needed is a standard: mandatory, regular backups stored in a reliable system built for these needs.
DeNet has long been building decentralized storage - secure, sovereign, and resilient by design. Today, this is becoming critical not just for individuals and businesses, but for AI systems as well.
In the meantime, we want to hear from you: how do you currently secure your AI agent’s data? Your experience will help shape what comes next.
