Storage option

Founded by Mayur Relekar, currently the CEO, and Aravindh Kumar, and Abhishek Chaudhary in 2019, Arcana Network aims to be the most developer-friendly decentralised storage option amongst other storage platforms such as IPFS, Filecoin, Storj and Sia and gives developers a privacy stack in addition to storage to help apps securely manage data with complete privacy preservation.
