MetaidNetwork provides a private, blockchain‑based platform for decentralized file storage, sharing, and hosting built on the Cosmos ecosystem. Users can rent out unused hard‑disk space as storage hosts to earn Metaid tokens, while individuals and organizations store and share files securely, with built‑in authentication for documents such as university or legal records. The platform also includes a biometric wallet that generates private keys from fingerprints and supports ERC‑20 tokens and non‑transferable iNFT identities.

Problem
Storing and sharing files securely on the web often requires reliance on centralized services that can be vulnerable to data breaches, censorship, or loss of control over access. Additionally, individuals and organizations lack a straightforward way to monetize unused storage capacity while ensuring privacy and authenticity of shared documents.
Solution
MetaidNetwork offers a private blockchain built on the Cosmos ecosystem that enables decentralized file storage, sharing, and hosting. Users can allocate idle hard‑disk space as storage hosts and earn Metaid tokens as passive income. Files are stored encrypted on the network, and built‑in authentication mechanisms allow institutions such as universities or legal bodies to verify document originality. Access to the platform is managed through a biometric wallet that derives a private key from the user’s fingerprint and issues a non‑transferable identification NFT (iNFT), providing password‑free, secure login and ERC‑20 token management.
Target Audience
Primary users are individuals and enterprises seeking secure, decentralized file storage and sharing, as well as storage providers who want to monetize spare disk capacity.
