Roadmap

The current cloud storage landscape is dominated by centralized providers that offer high performance but come with significant trade-offs:

• High cost for bandwidth and storage
• Vendor lock-in through proprietary APIs
• Lack of transparency and trust

When LimeWire began scaling its new file sharing platform, it relied on third-party decentralized storage solutions. However, the limitations quickly became clear:

• Poor scalability due to on-chain metadata for each object
• Mandatory minimum storage durations
• Operational inefficiencies in real-time usage and wallet funding

This not only resulted in technical limitations but also hindered scalability. LimeWire file sharing quickly outgrew the technical abilities of today’s decentralized storage solutions.
