Chromia has officially launched Filehub, its decentralized storage solution, on the platform’s mainnet. This new service provides users with a secure and scalable way to store and access digital files. The news was shared on Chromia’s official X account. The deployment of Filehub marks a significant advancement for the blockchain platform, which is known for its modular framework and ability to support dedicated decentralized applications (dApps).
Filehub allows anyone to store their data on-chain and is another tool in our box to create the most useful blockchain.
Learn more about what Filehub is, how it works, and current and future use cases.

Filehub offers secure, decentralized storage with a 30-year warranty
Filehub uses the Chromia blockchain to provide a secure way to store and access files and metadata, with a special emphasis on horizontal scaling. The platform guarantees that files are distributed in an immutable manner so that they cannot be censored or modified. Such a decentralized approach is intended to enable long-term deployment, which is especially relevant for projects where data immutability is a priority.
Filehub storage fees are paid in Chromia’s native token CHR at $0.10 per megabyte. However, as Chromia infrastructure grows, it plans to reduce storage costs. Every file uploaded to the platform is backed by a 30+ year warranty on the file’s security.
Filehub is designed to meet the needs of many applications that require decentralized storage with proper security that is immutable and persistent. They include; NFTs, legal documents and other confidential information. The platform is suitable when it is necessary to collect data for a long time and exclude the possibility of unauthorized changes to it.
Filehub now live on Mainnet, ready to revolutionize decentralized storage
The Filehub works through two main parts. The Filehub Blockchain records file details and processes references to data, and the Filechain Blockchains store data in different nodes and verify payments through proofs. This decentralized structure also guarantees both high data availability and transparency.
Filehub has already been used by Fanzeal to store images and metadata of collectibles, such as those on the VfB Stuttgart market. As Filehub goes live on the mainnet, Chromia hopes to see more projects from Web3 and other industries integrate with the storage service. This will be a big factor in the future of decentralized storage and blockchain architecture.
