A decentralized blockchain mainnet purpose-built for data storage and retrieval, featuring low fees, scalable throughput, and STOR-denominated payments for durable, verifiable storage.
Storagechain is a mainnet blockchain purpose-built for decentralized data storage and availability; its native currency, STOR, is used for transaction fees and network economics. Typical use cases include persistent NFT/media storage, audit/compliance logs, large dataset anchoring for AI and analytics, and cross-chain data proofs for dApps that need verifiable, tamper-evident records.
Unlike compute-first L1s, Storagechain’s design centers on storage-centric workloads and data integrity at the protocol layer, making it a targeted choice for applications that prioritize durable, verifiable data over high-complexity smart contract execution. As of Sep 2025, official sources have not published verifiable performance metrics (average gas cost, block time, TPS, daily active users); consult the Storagechain explorer/docs for live figures to compare fees, block speed, throughput, and activity with other networks.
Storagechain uses STOR as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain STOR by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge.
To bridge STOR to Storagechain, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select Storagechain as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on Storagechain you can use thirdweb, which provides an easy way to build, monetize and scale your apps, games or agents. You can find detailed guides and documentation on https://portal.thirdweb.com to get started quickly.
To add Storagechain to your wallet, you can connect your wallet and click on [Add to Wallet] button at the top of the page. Alternatively, you can add the network manually using the RPC URL and chain details and add it to your wallet's network settings.
To send STOR on Storagechain, ensure your wallet is connected to the Storagechain network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of STOR to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
