Crust Files, a project initiated in early 2022, aims to transform the way we store personal data in the Web3 era. It offers features like decentralized storage, secure file uploads, and easy sharing, catering to users who seek a secure and user-friendly solution for storing their Web3 data.

Oasis Grants Backs Crust Files

In August 2023, Crust Network received a significant grant from the Oasis Bloom Program. This grant marked a significant milestone as it was the first ecosystem funding provided by the Oasis program in 2023. The grant’s focus was on utilizing the innovative privacy features embedded in the Sapphire runtime.

Sapphire, a confidential EVM unique to Web3, plays a central role in Crust Files. It enables customizable visibility into on-chain data storage for network transactions, ensuring the privacy of sensitive data while granting access to authorized parties.

Sapphire’s integration into Crust Files brings exciting possibilities:

Seamless Web3 Wallet Access: Users with an Oasis-linked Web3 wallet can effortlessly access Crust Files with robust security and confidentiality, providing a taste of decentralized data storage at no cost.
Secure Key Storage: Crust Files introduces secure key storage and management, leveraging Oasis Network’s end-to-end encryption and data security, allowing users to confidently store their keys within the platform.

Getting Started with Crust Files

To start using Crust Files, users can visit the platform’s landing page and click “Try For Free.” Connecting an Oasis Network wallet or any other EVM wallet is straightforward. The Oasis icon opens the MetaMask wallet, providing direct access to the Oasis Network. Once connected, users can easily upload their data to Crust Files.

Crust Files extends the Oasis Network’s security and privacy features to all EVM addresses, not limited to native Oasis Network users. This inclusive approach ensures that the benefits of the Oasis Network are accessible to a wider audience, reinforcing data security and privacy in the Web3 realm.

A Shared Vision for Web3 Data Security

Both Oasis and Crust share a common vision of empowering individual users to take control of their on-chain data securely. The Oasis Foundation is enthusiastic about supporting Crust Files in its journey, leveraging the power of Sapphire and Oasis technology to redefine data security and privacy standards in the Web3 landscape.
