Cost Efficiency

Decentralized storage can also be more cost-effective than traditional centralized solutions. Centralized data centers require significant capital for infrastructure, maintenance, and energy costs. Decentralized networks, on the other hand, leverage existing storage on devices distributed across the network, reducing the need for large, costly data centers.

Participants in the network can be incentivized through tokenomics or other rewards to share their unused storage, creating a win-win scenario: contributors earn from their unused resources, and users benefit from a robust, scalable storage solution.
