Say hello to
the data layer

Start now

Use decentralized protocols like IPFS and UCAN to liberate your data.

We'll take care of the rest.

Connecting the web of data

Eliminate silos with web3.storage. Using IPFS and other decentralized protocols, create a true data layer that connects you, your users, and the Web, regardless of where content is stored - client-side, in the cloud, or elsewhere.

Sounds hard? It isn't. Our client libraries are super easy-to-use, abstracting the complexity of these decentralized protocols. And our hosted object storage provides best-in-class IPFS write and read performance and competitive pricing to web2 solutions, giving you the ability to write innovative applications without compromise.

import * as Client from '@web3-storage/w3up-client'
import { filesFromPaths } from 'files-from-path'

const client = await Client.create()

// first time setup!
if (!Object.keys(client.accounts()).length) {
  // waits for you to click the link in your email to verify your identity
  const account = await client.login('[email protected]')
  // create a space for your uploads
  const space = await client.createSpace('lets-go')
  // save the space to the store, and set as "current"
  await space.save()
  // associate this space with your account
  await account.provision(space.did())
}

// content-address your files
const files = await filesFromPaths(['./best-gifs'])
const root = await client.uploadDirectory(files)

console.log(root.toString()) // bafy...
