Who are you? We are PPLabs, a global technology group dedicated to creating PPIO, a decentralized programmable storage and delivery network based on the blockchain.
 
What are you doing? We’re creating a more robust and efficient alternative to current centralized cloud storage providers like Amazon S3. Users can use PPIO to store and retrieve any amount of data at any time, from anywhere on the web.
 
What’s wrong with the current system? From alarming data breaches and grand scale data outages to the rising costs of storage costs, centralized storage has a number of things wrong with it. We believe we can create a better system that’s faster, safer, affordable, and decentralized.
 
How will you do that? We’re tapping into the sharing economy of P2P systems and are combining it with well-designed blockchain-based incentives to make use of the vast amount of unused bandwidth and storage resources on the Internet. Your data will be split, encrypted, then distributed across a decentralized network. In short, you’ll be able to safely store your data on the blockchain and have access to it at a lower price and faster rate than ever before.
 
Sounds good but why you? We’re spearheaded by Wayne Wong and Bill Yao, co-founders of PPTV, a P2P storage and transmission network used by 450 million users worldwide. Having built one of the largest distributed P2P distributed networks, the experience serving millions of users, establishing a strong founding team of 30 people, and secured seed funding, we believe we’re the best group to handle the task of decentralizing storage.   
 
Aren’t there other companies doing that? Yes, there are. However, they all have issues. Without naming names, issues include wasteful computation and energy consumption, complex proofs harming efficiency, and years of development yet no results.
 
Which stage are you at currently? Having formed in June 2018, we’ve already released our whitepaper, our TestNet, and published our SDK/CLI. All available on our website and Github.
 
Do you have plans for an ICO?
At this stage no. Right now we are focused on building our decentralized storage platform so it’s the best product possible.

What’s next? Completed versions of our SDK and MainNet are scheduled to go live in Q2. Then we’ll continue developing applications that best utilize our technology.
 
How can I support your project? Visit our website, check out our TestNet, and join our community on Discord. At this stage, we’re targeting developers so feedback is important for us. We’ve got a developing community that everyone is welcome to join.
