CT3, a technology company focused on decentralized internet infrastructure, announced that it has entered the final phase of beta testing for its next-generation decentralized data storage platform. Over the past months, the system has been actively tested by regular users who were granted early access to the platform, allowing the team to observe real usage behavior and evaluate performance under everyday conditions.
During the final beta stage, the platform has demonstrated high stability, scalability, and technical reliability during live usage. Testing focused on practical workflows, long-term data storage, continuous access scenarios, and the handling of large file volumes. These results confirmed the viability of CT3’s architecture as a decentralized storage solution approaching readiness for a public launch.

CT3 is building foundational infrastructure for the decentralized internet, with a primary focus on anonymous, censorship-resistant, and economically efficient data storage. The company’s mission is to combine the principles of Web3 with the usability of traditional cloud services, while eliminating common issues such as excessive centralization, opaque pricing models, dependency on centralized trust, and the risk of data leaks.
The CT3 team consists of experienced developers, blockchain systems architects, and security specialists who prioritize user privacy, predictable costs, and long-term sustainability. The platform is designed so that users retain full ownership and control over their data without the need to create accounts, submit personal information, or rely on a centralized service provider.
The decentralized storage system does not use traditional user accounts. Access to data is managed through blockchain-based NFT keys. Each uploaded file is assigned a unique NFT representing access rights. Files are automatically split into encrypted fragments and distributed across a decentralized network of independent nodes, ensuring that no single node can reconstruct or control the data.
The NFT key serves as the sole mechanism for accessing stored content. By transferring the NFT to another wallet, a user can instantly and transparently transfer access rights to the file. This enables a Web3-native data sharing model based on ownership transfer rather than file duplication.
The platform supports files of up to one terabyte, making it suitable not only for documents and media, but also for backups, archives, and professional datasets. This design expands its applicability to both individual users and business environments.
The system operates without KYC procedures, user accounts, or personal data collection. Files are not stored in centralized data centers, and access is enforced at the protocol level, providing strong resistance to censorship, external interference, and single points of failure.
A core component of the platform is its transparent economic model. Users pay only for the actual size of stored data and the selected storage duration. There are no subscriptions, bundled plans, or payments for unused capacity. If a file is deleted before the end of its storage period, a partial refund for unused time is provided. This functionality is currently completing final testing.
Through optimized node coordination, data availability validation, and NFT-based access control, the platform maintains competitive storage costs while preserving a high level of reliability compared to centralized cloud providers and many decentralized alternatives.
Compared to traditional cloud services, the solution offers complete anonymity, removes centralized trust dependencies, enables full user-controlled access via blockchain wallets, and provides transparent ownership logic visible on-chain. Compared to other Web3 storage solutions, it combines large-file support, a simple NFT-based access mechanism, an intuitive user interface, and pricing strictly based on actual storage usage.
Looking ahead, the project plans to expand beyond storage by enabling decentralized application hosting directly on top of its infrastructure. This will allow developers to deploy applications that rely on censorship-resistant and privacy-preserving data handling as a native layer.
Another major milestone is the gradual transition from Solana to its own proprietary blockchain, optimized specifically for decentralized storage and NFT-based access control. This transition will reduce external dependencies, optimize performance and fees, and allow deeper integration between storage logic, economic mechanisms, and governance.
In the long term, the ecosystem is expected to evolve toward a DAO governance model, enabling active participants to take part in protocol-level decision-making and potentially share in protocol-generated fees.
“We’re building this not just as a product, but as an ecosystem that can eventually exist beyond the company itself. Our goal is to give users real ownership over their data, their tools, and the future of the protocol,” said Leandro Gomez, CEO.
