Decentr and Aleph.im are pleased to announce a strategic and technical partnership that will integrate a variety of Aleph.im use cases into the Decentr ecosystem. Today we will dive into two of these: Aleph’s decentralized storage solution and integrating Aleph.im network into Decentr for interchain liquidity.

We’re excited to be partnering with Aleph as their simplified Cloud Computing solutions for DeFi and other Web3 solutions perfectly align with Decentr’s aims and goals. The ease and simplicity of integration with Aleph make this partnership a win-win for Decentr and Aleph users while Aleph’s lighting fast and blockchain agnostic profile, coupled with their trusted off-chain data and computation protocols will deliver to our users an enhanced, secure and intuitive web browsing experience” — Nikita Anikeev, CTO at Decentr.net

I am really proud to see aleph.im being integrated in such a great project. Bringing yet another real life integration to fruition and perfectly aligned with our goal to expand further into the DeFi space” — Jonathan Schemoul aka Moshe Malawash, CEO at aleph.im

Why Are We Integrating With Aleph.im?

Aleph.im’s groundbreaking decentralized storage solution ensures that Decentr offsets our data storage needs, making our browser faster and more intuitive for users.

Currently every action on our platform such as posts, images and links are stored on our chain via our own storage solution Cerberus. In our current extension/testnet we have found our chain to become bloated with all these actions so being able to offset some of this to aleph.im cloud storage would be much more efficient for us and provide a great use case for both Decentr and Aleph.im.

All this is possible because of aleph.im’s full decentralized solution stack that enables us to remove centralized components such as our dependencies to centralized cloud databases. This makes it ideal for us in terms of compatibility, integration and security.

We also see Aleph.im as a way for us to achieve better NFT storage — enabling fully decentralized NFTs — as this is an important component of what we are building and we want a solution that will support us as we continue to develop.

Furthermore, Aleph.im’s Interchain Liquidity allows access to assets of all supported chains, while aleph.im’s Interchain User Base accessibility allows onboarding users of all supported chains. These features will allow us to expedite our multichain integration, including our dWallet Native & ERC20 Integration, Multiple Chain Integrations and dWallet Multiple Chain Integration.

This will enhance user data, and hence data value, due to increased security while simultaneously allowing greater user access to data. This will give users greater autonomy as to how they access their data and use this data, including accessing this data via our storage solution and selling this data via the Decentr dEX and Ocean Market.

Stay tuned for our upcoming joint AMA with the Aleph.im team to deep dive into both projects’ goals and use cases.
