April 22, 2025 – DeNet, the leading DePIN for storage, shares the results of its one-week Datakeeper Node Sale—a major step toward building a global, privacy-first decentralized storage network. Over 2,100 Datakeeper Nodes—licenses for storing data within the DeNet network—expanded its ecosystem.
DeNet’s Datakeepers form a powerful backbone for global data storage, with an estimated collective capacity of 630 PB—enough to store 126 million HD movies. With unlimited storage per license, each Datakeeper can greatly enhance their role, further amplifying this vast capacity. As highly committed and responsible members, Datakeepers have invested significantly, with total costs averaging $14.7M for equipment and licensing fees.
Following the completed sale, DeNet is advancing to the second phase launching all nodes within its ecosystem. Datakeepers will soon be able to activate their licences within the newest DeNet Storage Protocol v4, which is 90% ready for seamless launch on any blockchain and will allow Datakeepers monetize their storage capacities.
“Since 2017, despite obstacles and market changes, we have been building a reliable decentralized data storage system based on core principles like security, transparency, and data sovereignty. Recently, there have been increasing opinions on the topic of challenges faced by centralized data centers, underscoring the critical importance of these values. Millions of users worldwide trust us. The Node Sale provided DeNet with fresh momentum for network growth. We see significant investments from our Datakeepers and it ensures we attract the most reliable and trusted participants to our ecosystem”, says Rafik Singatullin, co-founder of DeNet.
Looking ahead, DeNet has an ambitious roadmap for 2025. The ecosystem will launch on peaq, the blockchain powering the Machine Economy, and serve as a native storage layer for its ecosystem, expanding its reach across industries. DeNet also plans to introduce an enterprise solution for large-scale data needs, release an SDK to support protocol-based developments, and host a Token Generation Event (TGE) on peaq. These initiatives underscore DeNet’s commitment to driving innovation in decentralized storage.
DeNet welcomes users, businesses, and developers to join its growing ecosystem.
