Use Cases

Real-time analytics and batch processing over large datasets

 Data engineering teams, analytics platforms

Traditional data lakes can be siloed, slow, and expensive to query, creating major bottlenecks for analytics and ML.

• O3-Compatible APIs for Existing Query Engines: Use Akave with Snowflake, Databricks, Spark, Presto, and more.
• Verifiable Storage with Proofs: Audit compliance and integrity of datasets.
• Edge Caching for Speed: Hot data stays near compute nodes.
• Up to 80% Cost Reduction: Store and query more for less.

Data lakes that actually scale—with speed, control, and full verifiability. Enterprises can store and analyze more data without breaking budgets.

Scalable, high-throughput storage for training and inference pipelines

AI labs, ML teams, research orgs

Model training and inference on centralized clouds create IO bottlenecks, slow retrieval, and soaring costs.

• Parallel Fetching via Distributed Nodes: No more single-node bottlenecks.
• Immutable Data Sets: Ensure reproducibility and provenance of training data.
• Plug-and-Play with Existing Pipelines: Compatible with PyTorch, TensorFlow, HuggingFace and other tools via O3 APIs.‍
• Fault-Tolerant for Large Jobs: Training doesn’t break when a node goes down.

Decentralized storage that actually accelerates AI—less latency, lower cost, and zero compromise on performance, while guaranteeing data integrity.

Persistent storage for dApps and protocols

DePIN networks, cross-chain dApps, oracle providers

Onchain data is limited. Off-chain storage often breaks composability and integrity.

• Blockchain-Aware Storage: Native support for storing merkle roots, proofs, logs
• Composable APIs for On/Off-Chain Logic: Connect seamlessly with smart contracts
• Immutable Audit Trails: Anchor data to chains like Ethereum, Filecoin, Avalanche‍
• DePIN-Ready: Ideal for decentralized infrastructure networks

Build applications that span chains with data that is composable, verifiable, and always available.

Regulatory-compliant, geo-redundant backups for critical data

Financial services, healthcare, government agencies, regulated industries

Legacy backup systems are expensive, hard to audit, and prone to single-region failure.

• Multi-Region Replication by Default: Instant resilience across countries.
• Daily Auto-Backups: No manual ops required.
• Immutable Snapshots: Beat ransomware with verifiable, locked backups.
• Fast API-Based Restores: Restore in seconds, not hours.

High availability, auditable backups, compliance, and peace of mind—at a fraction of traditional cloud costs.

Long-term data retention with instant accessibility for completed media assets

Media companies, video editors, post-production houses, film studios, ad agencies

Glacier Instant is costly at scale and still lower than hot storage, making frequent retrieval of large archives expensive and inefficient

• O3-Compatible Decentralized Storage: Store high-res media at a fraction of the cost while maintaining fast retrieval.
• Tiered Storage Design: Content auto-distributes based on access frequency.
• Redundant, Verifiable Backups: Built-in fault tolerance and auditability.‍
• Cost-Effective Scaling: Pay less as you scale more.

Media teams get fast access to massive archives without burning through budgets or waiting hours for retrieval.

Decentralized data control with policy-based access

Governments, consortiums, privacy-focused orgs

Cloud vendors often lock you in with proprietary formats and opaque pricing.

• RBAC + Delegated Access: Define fine-grained, onchain policies.
• Your Keys = Your Data: No third-party admin privileges.
• Transparent Pricing: No hidden egress or lock-in fees.‍
• Full Auditability: Every file action can be cryptographically verified.

Real control over your data—whether you’re managing health records or national archives.

Tamper-proof storage for securing critical and sensitive files

Journalists, nonprofits, whistleblower platforms

Centralized platforms can be pressured into takedowns or surveillance.

• Distributed Global Infrastructure: No single point of failure or control.
• End-to-End Encryption: Files can’t be intercepted or snooped.
• Onchain Timestamping: Prove integrity and origin with blockchain-backed audit trails.‍
• Immutable Storage: No unauthorized changes, ever.

 Trustworthy, tamper-proof storage that empowers free expression and critical reporting.

Storage and distribution layer for data products

Data marketplaces, API providers, B2B SaaS

Hosting large datasets for resale or API access is expensive.

• S3-compatible object storage. Easy integrations.
• Native immutability. Data versioning by default.‍
• Scalable distribution. Global buyers without region constraints.

Sell, share, and deliver datasets securely with predictable, cost efficient infrastructure.

Global video storage & distribution

Streaming platforms, content marketplaces, UGC apps, Web3 media

Centralized CDNs get expensive and can restrict content in certain regions.

• Globally Distributed Storage Network: Files are replicated close to users.
• Automatic Tiering for Hot/Cold Content: Optimizes speed without manual setup.
• Seamless Media Pipeline Integration: Thumbnails, encoding, metadata all supported.‍
• Lower Infra Overhead: Scale up user uploads without scaling up bills.

Decentralized content delivery, lower cost, and global reliability from day one.
