In development for over 7 years, cyfs:// has recently been open sourced and is now available to the public.To facilitate a more efficient market for decentralized storage, W3 Storage Lab has also worked closely with the DMC Foundation as a major developer of the Datamall Coin ecology. The Datamall Coin is a cryptocurrency which has been designed to accurately reflect the value of decentralized storage, properly incentivize suppliers of decentralized data, stimulate demand for storing real data in a decentralized manner, and create a efficient market for buyers and sellers of decentralized storage. The DMC token is already on Testnet and will be released to Mainnet in the near future. W3 Storage Lab is developing a series of applications for both consumers and enterprises that will make heavy use of decentralized storage. These applications will leverage the unique capabilities of cyfs://, and will be announced in the coming weeks. 18/08/2022
