It has been almost a month since we posted our last development update, so strap in, this is a long one. Since our last update, we’ve merged over 250 PRs, which equates to about 30,000 lines of code added and 10,000 lines deleted. This code is for the functionality we’re building into the network for our Beacon and Pioneer releases. Part of our team has been focused on finishing out the last bits of functionality for Beacon, while the rest of our team has been focused on Pioneer.

Greetings Storjlings,
Our team has been making waves with everything they have been able to accomplish over the last two weeks. We’re closing in on our next major release Beacon, which will give our clients the ability to share files with each other, among other things.
As part of the Vanguard release, we’re still sending invitations to developers who joined the waitlist to store data on the V3 network. If you would like early access to store data on the V3 network, please make sure to sign up here.

We have been drinking lots of espresso and working hard to finish the functionality needed for our next release, bacon… I mean Beacon. The functionality in this release will allow clients to share encrypted files via a cool technique called macaroons. As part of the Vanguard release, we are still sending invitations to developers who joined the waitlist to store data on the V3 network. If you would like early access to store data on the V3 network, please make sure to sign up on our waitlist.

The Beacon release is within our sights! We are hitting our stride and continue to be listed as one of the top Ethereum projects by developer activity! The Beacon release will enable clients to share objects with others, and we have a hand full of features we need to implement to make that happen. We are now sending invitations for the Vanguard release so, if you want to get access to store data on the network, make sure to sign up on the waitlist.

When people first hear about how decentralized cloud storage works, it sounds like a joke. Common questions include:
“How is it possible to store data on random computers around the world?”
“That doesn’t sound secure…. Is it?!?”
“Is this a real thing?” Let me tell you, it’s real and it’s spectacular!
The Lifecycle of a File When files are uploaded to the Storj network, the first thing that happens is the Uplink, which runs on the local machine uploading the files to the network, determines if the file is small enough to be stored as an inline segment.

Vanguard has launched and we are beyond thrilled to have Uplinks operated by community members and partners uploading and downloading data on our network! If you want to get access to the Vanguard release, make sure to sign up on the waitlist. If you were unable to tune into the Q1 town hall last week you can still watch it on YouTube. It has lots of details related to the development of the V3 Storj network.
