Crust Joins the Self Chain Ecosystem
Self Chain is pleased to announce a new integration with Crust Network, a decentralized storage Layer 1 built on Substrate. This collaboration connects Crust’s IPFS-based infrastructure with Self Chain’s intent-centric execution layer and keyless wallet system, bringing a smoother and more secure way to interact with decentralized storage across Web3.
What This Means for Users
With the integration of Self Chain, Crust Network gains access to a modular infrastructure designed to simplify complex blockchain interactions through AI-ready, intent-driven workflows. Here’s what this means for users and developers:
Intent-Based Storage Access
By tapping into Self Chain’s execution layer, Crust users will be able to initiate actions (such as uploading files, managing storage contracts, or retrieving data) through intent-based interactions. This model removes the need to manually sign and execute multi-step transactions, enabling a more intuitive storage experience that’s especially valuable in multi-chain environments.
Advanced Wallet Access
Crust Network will benefit from Self Chain’s MPC-TSS and Account Abstraction-based wallet infrastructure. This enables keyless, secure interactions without relying on traditional seed phrases. Users maintain full control over their assets, while the underlying security model reduces the risks associated with private key exposure.
Seamless Onboarding
Self Chain’s modular architecture enables more fluid engagement with Crust’s storage services. Users and applications can onboard without needing to configure complex wallet systems or interact directly with underlying infrastructure. The result is streamlined file management, simplified asset control, and cross-chain compatibility, all from a single, AI-compatible interface.
This partnership reflects a shared commitment to advancing permissionless infrastructure that is both user-friendly and developer-ready. As decentralized storage becomes increasingly critical to the future of Web3 applications, ensuring seamless and secure access is key.
Self Chain and Crust Network will continue to explore ways to bring programmable, decentralized storage to more users and use cases through intelligent coordination and modular execution.
Stay tuned.
About Crust Network
Crust Network provides a decentralized cloud storage solution that enables users and applications to store data on the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) through a permissionless, blockchain-powered marketplace. With a global network of over 1,000 nodes and 700+ petabytes of total capacity, Crust has become one of the most established decentralized storage ecosystems in the space.
The protocol supports a wide range of use cases, from website and dApp hosting to NFT metadata storage and personal file backups. Its proprietary matching algorithm ensures efficient resource utilization, allowing users to store data reliably without needing to trust a centralized service.
About Self Chain
Self Chain is the AI-powered intent layer for Web3, and a Modular L1 simplifying blockchain interactions. By combining keyless wallets (MPC-TSS/AA), intent-driven automation, and seamless multi-chain access, Self Chain eliminates complexity, making Web3 more intuitive, autonomous, and secure.
With Keyless Wallets and AI-powered intent execution, users can seamlessly onboard, manage assets, and interact with dApps without handling private keys or complex transactions. Self Chain’s AgentFi Infra enables autonomous on-chain AI agents to execute transactions, optimize DeFi strategies, and interact across ecosystems, while PayFi powers seamless, real-time blockchain payment systems, aligning with the evolving demands of the emerging global economy. Developers benefit from tools like the Intent SDK, Keyless Wallet SDK, and Account Abstraction Plugins, enabling the next generation of AI-driven applications with enhanced security and efficiency.
