Decentralized cloud storage is gaining momentum as it challenges traditional providers like AWS and Google Cloud. Unlike centralized systems prone to single points of failure, data breaches, and high costs, decentralized solutions like Filecoin and Arweave offer secure, distributed networks. Filecoin incentivizes storage with a marketplace model, boasting scalability and cost efficiency, while Arweave’s “pay once, store forever” approach targets permanent data needs. Investment potential is strong—Filecoin’s established ecosystem and Arweave’s niche appeal signal growth, though regulatory uncertainty and competition from tech giants pose risks.
