Storage Management

Web App Coming Soon

The web interface for storage management is currently in development. Use the CLI or SDK to manage your decentralized storage.

Manage decentralized storage across IPFS, Filecoin, and Arweave.

Storage Dashboard

Coming Soon

The Storage Dashboard will be available once the web app launches.

View all your stored content in one place:

• Storage Items - Files, sites, and agent data
• Network Distribution - Storage by network (IPFS, Filecoin, Arweave)
• Total Size - Aggregate storage usage
• Monthly Cost - Current storage costs

Storage Networks

IPFS

Content-addressed storage with pinning:

• Files identified by CID (Content Identifier)
• Pinned via Pinata, Web3.Storage, or Lighthouse
• Fast retrieval via global gateways
• Mutable pointers via IPNS

Use cases:

• Website hosting
• Dynamic content
• Frequently updated files

Filecoin

Decentralized storage marketplace:

• Storage deals with miners
• Cryptographic proof of storage
• IPFS-compatible CIDs
• Cost-effective for large datasets

Use cases:

• Data archival
• Backup storage
• Large file storage

Arweave

Permanent, immutable storage:

• Pay once, store forever
• Blockweave data structure
• Built-in content delivery
• Immutable by design

Use cases:

• NFT metadata
• Legal documents
• Historical records
• Permanent websites

Managing Storage Items

Coming Soon

Web interface for managing storage items is in development. Use CLI/SDK for now.

View Details

Click on any storage item to see:

• CID/Transaction ID - Unique identifier
• Size - File size
• Network - Storage network
• Created - Upload date
• Last Accessed - Last retrieval time
• URL - Public access link
• Pinned - Pin status (IPFS only)

Actions

• Pin/Unpin (IPFS) - Control pinning status
• Copy CID - Copy content identifier
• Open in Gateway - View in browser
• Download - Download file
• Delete - Remove from storage

Filtering

Filter storage items by:

• Network - IPFS, Filecoin, Arweave
• Type - Site, Agent, File
• Size - Size ranges
• Date - Upload date

Search

Search storage by:

• File name
• CID or transaction ID
• Type or network

Pinning Management (IPFS)

What is Pinning?

Pinning keeps content available on IPFS by ensuring at least one node stores and serves it.

Pin Providers

We integrate with multiple pinning services:

• Pinata - Fast, reliable pinning
• Web3.Storage - Free tier available
• Lighthouse - Filecoin-backed pinning

Pin Status

• Pinned - Content is actively pinned
• Unpinned - Content may become unavailable
• Pinning - Pin operation in progress
• Failed - Pin operation failed

Storage Analytics

Usage Over Time

Track storage growth:

• Daily/weekly/monthly charts
• Network breakdown
• Cost trends

Cost Analysis

Understand storage costs:

• Cost by network
• Cost by project
• Cost projections

Next Steps

• Deploying Sites - Deploy sites to storage networks
• Billing - Understand storage costs
• Best Practices - Optimize storage usage
