STOP

STOP is a storage liquidity protocol built to be multi-chain native. With STOP, we solve the problem of fragmented liquidity across the decentralised storage ecosystem. 

With STOP, storage providers can provide storage via ipfs and collect money from customers across chains.

On the otherside, customers can easily arbitrage storage providers based on their “per quota” charges to get the best prices for using ipfs storage.

This solves the fragmented liquidity problem for anyone who has used ipfs - both as a consumer/provider

In the hackathon, we have built an MVP product on top of STOP to demonstrate its usecases.

In this MVP, a user can select one of the storage providers available on the network.

Then they can pay using USDC on L1, which is bridged to op-chain ( where our storage contract lives), and upload/pin files on ipfs, based on how much storage they have bought.

Both the purchase and usage of the storage quota is secured via optimistic rollups on the op-chain
