StorX Strengthens Its DePIN Infrastructure by Operating XDC Masternodes for the AI Era

StorX Network is expanding its infrastructure role within the XDC ecosystem by operating XDC masternodes, strengthening its position as more than a decentralized storage application and becoming an active participant in the blockchain network that supports its DePIN storage layer. StorX shifts from being a large application on XDC to also being part of the infrastructure that keeps XDC running, along with organizations such as Animoca Brands, BCW Group, Blueprint, Clearpool, Credora, Deutsche Telekom, HashKeyCloud, Hivemind Digital Group, InvestaX, IXS, RedStone, Republic Crypto, SBI Holdings, StakeFi, and UOB Venture Management. StorX Network secured its position as core data infrastructure for AI-era workloads, citing new AI application access capabilities, expanded enterprise integrations, and institutional-grade custody support. The network now secures data for 117,000+ users , operates across 2,150+ active storage nodes in 50+ locations worldwide , and has 5+ petabytes of deployed capacity. As organizations scale AI training, inference, and long-term data retention, they face mounting exposure to single points of failure, unpredictable egress fees, and ransomware targeting centralized backups. StorX handles these at the architecture level: data is encrypted at the source, fragmented (sharded), replicated, and distributed across a global network of independent nodes, so no single operator, including StorX itself, holds complete access to any file. Institutional readiness In early 2026, StorX added support from institutional digital-asset infrastructure providers BitGo and Fireblocks , enabling the custody guarantees that funds and enterprises require. The network’s native token, SRX , is used strictly as a utility token: organizations pay in SRX for storage, and node operators earn SRX for contributing reliable capacity, with staking requirements that reinforce network consistency. StorX Network supports S3-compatible storage, facilitating businesses and developers to connect existing applications, backup tools, and cloud workflows to decentralized storage without demanding a complete rebuild. This makes StorX relevant for enterprise backup, archival storage, AI data storage, Kubernetes backup, Google Workspace backup, and other data-heavy use cases. SRX Market Data StorX’s market visibility has also continued to strengthen across the decentralized storage and DePIN categories. As per CoinMarketCap category rankings at the time of writing, SRX is ranked 8th among storage tokens and 32nd within the DePIN category. SRX trades around $0.051 at the time of writing and is available across markets including MEXC, BingX, BitMart, Coinstore, Bitrue, Biconomy.com, BTSE, LCX Exchange, Oku Trade, Curve, and XSwap v3, with trading pairs including SRX/USDT, SRX/XDC, SRX/WXDC, SRX/USDC, and SRX/EUR. This broader market access reflects growing visibility for StorX as a working DePIN storage network with live users, deployed capacity, active infrastructure, and expanding participation within the XDC ecosystem.
