Storacha — Pricing, Features, SDKs

Storacha is the open, decentralized hot storage layer that web3.storage transitioned into. It is content-addressed, backed by Filecoin storage deals for durability, and uses UCAN (User Controlled Authorization Networks) for delegation-friendly auth. Uploads are served back through the storacha.link IPFS gateway with CDN-level retrieval speeds.

Strengths

UCAN delegation lets you hand short-lived, scoped capabilities to clients or AI agents.
Filecoin storage deals provide a durability layer beyond hot IPFS pins.
Direct lineage from Protocol Labs, web3.storage, and the IPFS core team.

Considerations

No dedicated gateway product yet; you share storacha.link with the rest of the network.
UCAN is powerful but adds a learning curve compared to plain API keys.
