Say hello to
the data layer
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...web3.storage is built for scale

Why web3.storage?
With web3.storage you get all the benefits of decentralized storage and other cutting-edge protocols with the frictionless experience you expect in a modern dev workflow. Check out our docs pages to learn more.
Open
All data is accessible via IPFS and backed by Filecoin storage, with service authentication using decentralized identity. No servers needed, no lock-in, no trust necessary.
Reliable
We take the best of web2 and web3 to provide infra you can rely on to scale with you. Frustration with decentralized storage is a thing of the past.
Simple
Start storing in minutes using w3up, our simple client library, to see how decentralized protocols can work together to unlock your data layer.
