In this episode of the #DePINedPodcast, Tom Trowbridge speaks with Colby Winegar, CEO of Storj, a decentralized cloud storage protocol with nearly a decade of evolution behind it.
We cover how Storj is bridging the gap between traditional cloud performance and decentralized architecture — through measurable value for real customers across AI, media, healthcare and academia
🧠 In this episode:
– How Storj achieves up to 80% lower storage and egress costs than AWS
– Why some customers report Storj is 2–3x faster than Amazon for global data access
– The economics behind fixed-price storage across 20,000+ decentralized nodes
– How the protocol handles operator payments in token, with a roadmap toward market-driven token demand
– Challenges in go-to-market, vertical focus, and customer education in the DePIN space
Listen now for an in-depth look at the real-world mechanics, tradeoffs, and opportunities behind decentralized storage at scale
