Crust Network, a prominent player in decentralized storage solutions, has announced a new partnership with Yoghourt Cloud through its Crust Grants Program. This collaboration aims to enhance the functionality of the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS), thereby improving the scalability and usability of the decentralized web. Yoghourt Cloud, a decentralized storage platform that utilizes the IPFS protocol, will receive funding to support its development efforts. The grant will focus on optimizing storage and retrieval processes, ensuring faster and more reliable file access for users, while addressing key challenges in decentralized storage such as data availability and latency. The objectives of this grant project are multifaceted. Firstly, Yoghourt Cloud plans to leverage Crust’s advanced storage architecture to develop more efficient storage management techniques for IPFS. This includes upgrading storage protocols and enhancing retrieval speeds to improve overall performance. Additionally, the integration of Crust’s decentralized storage capabilities into Yoghourt Cloud will provide users with a robust and scalable solution for their data storage needs. The project also aims to implement user-friendly upgrades, such as faster file uploads and smoother retrievals, which will enhance the overall user experience across the platform. Crust Network's commitment to decentralized storage infrastructure for Web3 is further exemplified through this grant. By supporting innovative projects like Yoghourt Cloud, Crust seeks to make IPFS more practical and accessible to a broader audience. This partnership not only marks a significant step in improving decentralized storage systems but also aims to strengthen the IPFS ecosystem, benefiting a wide range of decentralized applications (dApps). Together, Crust and Yoghourt Cloud are set to drive the future of decentralized storage, exploring new possibilities and optimizing existing solutions for Web3 applications.

Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePin) are making strides in the tech industry by supporting decentralized projects in real-world infrastructure. World Mobile has reached a significant milestone with over 100,000 daily users, a 400% increase in the past year, with its network expanding across Africa, Asia, and the USA. The company has deployed 1,798 AirNodes globally, positioning it as the largest network in the DePin category. World Mobile supports its participants through the World Mobile Token (WMT), incentivizing an active user base. The company has also announced plans for global AirNode deployments and a token migration to various blockchains in 2024. Additionally, the Helium Foundation is exploring new subnetwork opportunities with the Swedish energy project Srcful, which aims to use Helium hotspots to run a virtual power plant, offering another way to earn tokens. Meanwhile, Crust Network has partnered with Xcavate to provide secure, decentralized storage solutions for real estate tokenization, enhancing data integrity and scalability.
