Yesterday, Storj announced a collection of features, functions, and capabilities, a number of which are specifically targeted at the web 3.0 market.
The original press release the Techcrunch article was based on erroneously referred to “staking.” The expanded economic model that Storj is introducing includes a deposit structure that provides expedited earning opportunities for nodes and the ability for community satellite operators to earn and help accelerate network growth. While the model shares certain aspects with staking, Storj does not offer staking in the traditional sense; and its economic model has critical differences from staking. We apologize for the error. Details and timing will be elucidated in an economic whitepaper, a draft of which will be published next week.
