Round 2 / Eastore

Who is this project important for?
Eastore is essential for developers, enterprises, and individual users who seek secure, decentralized, and trustless data storage solutions. It’s also crucial for blockchain builders looking for easy ways to integrate Filecoin storage into their applications.

What pain points does it solve?
Eastore addresses key pain points like reliance on centralized storage providers, the need for trust in third parties, and the difficulty of accessing decentralized storage across multiple blockchain ecosystems. It simplifies the user experience with a familiar, drive-like interface and supports easy cross-chain access to Filecoin. We aim to make data on-boarding to filecoin easy and verifiable.

What are the tangible benefits of this contribution?
The tangible benefits of Eastore include:

• Fully decentralized, trustless file storage with on-chain smart contract verification.
• Multi-chain support via Axelar, allowing for easy integration from over 10 blockchains.
• Open-source utilities that accelerate Filecoin onboarding, enabling developers to build decentralized storage apps with minimal friction.
• A user-friendly interface, lowering the barrier to entry for decentralized file storage.
