Spheron (previously ArgoApp)integrates Skynet to offer more than just decentralized storage to the world

4 min readJul 21, 2021

Skynet is now fully integrated into the Spheron (previously ArgoApp) ecosystem. The protocol is one of the leading decentralized cloud storage service providers, specializing in the storage of data sets at low prices. Our partnership with the decentralized storage platform is set to enhance service delivery through our front-end cloud hosting application. Together with Arweave, the two storage solutions will provide advanced cloud storage options for our services.

Both Skynet and Arweave complement perfectly

Having both Skynet and Arweave helps deliver a broader scope of storage solutions. Where Arweave lacks, Skynet augments, creating a robust cloud storage system made possible through our cloud hosting application. For instance, Arweave is excellent in long-term archival data storage, while Skynet offers the best short-term archival storage. Our users are thus treated to both excellent short and long-term archival storage.

Beyond cloud storage

At face value, our partnership with Skynet appears to be storage related; however, the advantages aren’t limited to only storage services; other possibilities from our integration include:

Better pricing for storage
Healthy competition between our storage partners
Low latency data storage

Previously, our platform had no dedicated partner who could offer low latency data storage for our community. By integrating Skynet into our ecosystem, users can now enjoy faster data retrieval globally. Another advantage is better pricing for storage. Our services can now store large sets of data on a recurring basis by not paying upfront high storage costs. The dynamic options made possible through Skynet reduce the payment obligation for users who have dynamic, increased data storage demands.

Because of the increasing storage options, our partners like Arweave and Skynet will likely continue improving their products and services to stay relevant in the cloud storage industry. Our users will, in turn, enjoy better benefits through the possibilities created by this integration.

Additionally, developers who use our platform are set to enjoy more web app deployment options, allowing them to stretch their creativity to the limits based on our options. There is an improvement in static web hosting after the Skynet integration.

Skynet integration opens further market diversification

Such partnerships are opening up the market to more diverse options. For instance, previously, clients seeking data storage services from Skynet or Arweave had to hold a specific amount of their native tokens to access these services. As a result of these progressive integrations, cloud data storage seekers can access both platforms through our front-end solution using $DAI and in the future through $ARGO.

As more convenience is added through better market options, the desirability factor of blockchain services also increases. Developers who are comfortable with already existing cloud services in centralized platforms will find similar convenience in the decentralized market while also getting better security and control over their cloud data. Thus, by increasing market options through creative partnerships, our platform indirectly helps in adopting blockchain services.

Expect even more from Spheron (previously ArgoApp)

Thus far in our journey, we have managed to:

Successfully integrate key cloud storage service providers.
Ensure high TPS and low gas fees by deploying our smart contracts on Polygon.
Improve our platform by releasing a V2 update, which made web deployment easier and our services more enterprise-ready.
Form meaningful partnerships with virtual platforms such as Teslafan to solve some of the issues around decentralized storage.

Our platform is on the right development track as we strive to provide the most efficient and cost-effect cloud hosting services. To achieve our long-term goals, we need to continue pursuing suitable partners to deliver pivotal services to our growing user community and their dynamic demands. Securing both Arweave’s and Skynet’s support this early is an encouraging sign of even more encouraging partnerships and integration in the future.
