DeNet Distributors: Launching Soon
By 2030, the global data storage market will exceed $500 billion. The infrastructure powering AI, enterprises, and entire economies is being built right now β and you can be part of it.
DeNet is entering this market and opening a role that lets you earn from its growth from the inside.
DeNet Distributor means building your own ecosystem within DeNet β a network of Datakeepers and storage clients that generates long-term income as it grows.
The market scales for decades. So does your network.
The entry point is the Distributor Course, launching next week.
Requirements: Watcher Node Stage 50 and completed Web 3.0 Basic Course.
The future is already taking shape. The only question is where you stand inside it.

In DeNet, growth of the network compounds the capital of each participant.
A new tech stack is taking shape β and with it, a new model of work. We are moving toward a new digital economy where the division of labor is built around decentralized networks.
From Watcher validating the network to Distributor operating regional infrastructure β each role acts as an entry point into new layers of earning, scale, and market access.
The system is designed so that your activity directly translates into income, influence, and position β all growing as the network scales.
Where do you enter β and how big can you build? π

DeNet Storage users β download your testnet files now π Version 2.23.0 is now live, giving you access to your files on the Polygon testnet. This is the final step before the beta launch on DeNet Storage Protocol v4. π Important: Once the beta starts on Mayβ¦
Quick reminder π
If you used DeNet Storage on testnet β donβt forget to download your files before May 4.
Once beta starts, testnet data will no longer be available.

π DeNet Storage Beta is live!
Weβre moving from early access to real usage β on the way to a product for millions.
Today, a selected group of users starts using DeNet mobile storage the way it was built for:
β’ when people trust it with what they donβt want to lose,
β’ when access matters,
β’ when control over data is not optional.
Use the product β complete tasks β earn points β unlock rewards β grow your role in the ecosystem
Every action in beta builds the foundation for the public B2C launch.
And next step is practical: those who follow closely will be able to secure better storage conditions before the open release.
This is where usage starts scaling β from a closed group to a solution people rely on every day.

Your Path as a Distributor Starts Today π
Lesson 1 of the Distributor course is live for Watchers at Stage 50, as recognition of your contribution and commitment to the ecosystem.
The Distributor role is how you build a long-term income stream inside DeNet: grow your own Datakeeper network, connect businesses to decentralized storage, and earn as the infrastructure you help build scales.
The role unlocks after you complete the course and pass the exam. Lesson 1 β "New Role: Distributor" β covers what the role is, what it gives you access to, and where the growth comes from. The full course rollout and additional information comes next.

What is TBY and why it is more than a storage subscription π¦
Most cloud storage is priced around time: monthly plans, yearly plans, recurring payments that continue whether you use 10 GB or 10 TB. After a while it starts feeling less like owning storage and more like paying rent for the existence of your data β photos, documents, conversations you may not open often but still consider part of your life.
TBY token starts from a different assumption about what storage is.
1 TBY = 1 TB of storage for 1 year, but the important part is this: storage is measured as capacity, not ongoing access time.
You hold a defined amount of digital space, and itβs consumed only when data is actually stored. If you store 100 GB, that same unit lasts for 10 years.
The experience becomes closer to owning bandwidth, energy, or compute β a finite digital resource β instead of maintaining yet another recurring subscription.
And once storage is treated as a real resource, the economics around it change as well. Early network conditions rarely remain available indefinitely. As usage grows, storage units stop being temporary plans and start resembling capacity secured before the network fully matures.
That transition has already started.
This week, a closed beta went live for participants who secured early access, and the network is already filling with real user data. More than 150 GB was uploaded in the first 24h alone, almost 3000 valuable feedback pieces collected π₯
This is the point where the system starts becoming infrastructure people rely on.
Public access comes next.
Once that happens, millions will access a network where capacity is not constantly redefined by subscription cycles or external policy changes β and start truly owning their data.

π DeNet Storage Beta already brings together users from 114 countries!
Right now, the network is scaling through real B2C usage, uploads, and network activity. This is what pushes infrastructure into the market-ready system πͺ
The next generation of digital products, AI services, and autonomous agents will require a very different level of data security and resilience than most storage systems were designed for. That infrastructure is already being formed now.
π 114 countries in beta shows that demand for secure, sovereign storage is already global, not limited to one market or one type of user
This is the stage that strengthens the network economy and its long-term sustainability, and where early ecosystem participants gain the strongest positioning before broader market adoption.

βοΈ Notes from inside DeNet:
Something we discussed this week was how blockchain is starting to influence infrastructure markets, especially in the context of the next industrial revolution.
We keep noticing that blockchain is still mostly perceived either as crypto transfers or as a place where βNFTs and data are stored.β But in practice, itβs becoming a coordination layer between participants without the need for a middleman.
Tried mapping this directly onto the DeNet architecture through a simple sketch.
In a traditional cloud model, thereβs always a third party between participants: the provider controls access, infrastructure, interaction rules, and ultimately the trust model itself.
In our architecture, these relationships are coordinated by the protocol through smart contracts.
Because of that, the interaction model itself starts to change:
β’ no dependency on a single participant,
β’ control over data stays entirely with the client,
β’ scaling across countries and jurisdictions becomes simpler,
β’ interactions between parties become faster.
Overall, itβs much more interesting than just βstoring data on blockchainβ π
Blockchain is only one of the coordination and verification layers inside a much larger system.

DeNet Storage Presale is coming soon π
DeNet Storage beta testers are already actively testing the app and weβre moving toward the public launch.
The community has played a huge role in getting us here β so early supporters will receive special presale conditions before public launch.
One payment. 10 years of storage. Secure and sovereign data ownership
Reserve real storage capacity before public launch and keep control over your own data.
The waitlist is now open.
Early participants will get first access to the presale.
