The Decentralized Storage Alliance (DSA) is a community committed to pioneering decentralized technologies that enhance content addressability, data ownership, data integrity, and data security, and redefine the future of data infrastructure and storage. The alliance connects storage providers, developers, data onramps, end-users, and others to foster innovation in decentralized storage technology. We coordinate development of advancing architectures and tooling, industry insights, and collaborative opportunities that help members navigate challenges and achieve growth. Our mission is to create a more open, efficient, and resilient storage ecosystem and shape the future of data storage.
Our Goals
Community Building: Cultivate a strong network of industry professionals to drive collective growth.
Innovation Support: Provide advanced tools and resources that enable members to stay ahead in the field.
Thought Leadership: Share insights, trends, and educational content that guide the industry toward best practices.
Sustainable Growth: Develop strategies and resources that support long-term success for decentralized storage providers.
DSA is committed to aligning with the needs and feedback of our members, to further its mission of building a robust and inclusive decentralized storage ecosystem.

DSA Publications for Enterprise Data Storage
DSA Position Paper: Proof of Authorized Access (PoAA)
The DSA TA/CA Working Group has published a position paper on the need for a standard method to ensure that access to data can be restricted to a set of authorized users. This would ensure that access to that data can be accurately logged, giving rise to a "Proof of Authorized Access" or PoAA. Latest Release: New Storage Reference Architecture for Filecoin SPs
Innovative architecture utilizes Seagate Exos CORVAULT technology in conjunction with OpenZFS to reduce compute infrastructure by a factor of four while also increasing data integrity and network resiliency.DSA ZK-SNARK Performance Enhancements
