Be the decentralized cloud.

Host a Node

1

Sign Up

Use your existing hardware and allocate a portion of your storage and bandwidth for Storj. By operating a Node you’ll be a part of making data more private and secure, giving ownership of data back to the people.

2

Store Data

Small pieces of encrypted data from Storj will be stored at random on your Node. Once your Node is set up, all you need to do is make sure your Node is online and running properly—we’ll do the rest.

3

Get Paid

After your Node is set up and verified, you’ll be compensated for the storage and bandwidth you provide for Storj. Instead of operating a costly data center, we pay you for the resources used by Storj on your device.

Put your extra disk space to work.

As the amount of data on the network continues to grow, so will the amount of data stored and accessed on each Node, which also means your earnings will increase.

Once your Node is verified after a vetting period, you’ll start being compensated for the storage and bandwidth you provide. Every month you meet the requirements, you’ll be paid in STORJ Token.
