ColdStack is an aggregation layer for decentralized storage, with CLS as its token, wrapping Filecoin, Arweave, Storj, Sia, Crust and BNB Greenfield behind a unified S3-compatible interface for development teams that already depend on object storage and for enterprises with long-term archiving needs. Storage networks differ in pricing, redundancy and retrieval, so integrating each one adds migration cost and vendor lock-in.
A scheduling pipeline picks the cheapest network per file based on size, access frequency and geography, and rebalances placement as prices move. Uploaded files can be minted as ERC-721 or ERC-1155 tokens for listing on marketplaces. CLS circulates on Ethereum and BNB Chain for storage payments and governance. Billing follows actual capacity and retrieval traffic with no monthly minimum, and clients cover a graphical console, command line and SDKs in several languages.
