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.
