  • Data storage should be decentralized, trustless, immutable and guaranteed.
  • Easily access with web3-style auth; no more usernames/passwords.
  • User rights/benefits are totally owned and controlled by the user.
  • Service and usage should be standardized, easily quantifiable & verifiable.

  • All the data stored can be accessed by any third-party IPFS nodes/gateways.
