CT3 Secure Storage Reports Breakout First-Month Results: 3.21+ PB Stored and 22,000+ Unique Users
London, UK, February 25th, 2026, Chainwire
CT3 today released first-month operating results for CT3 Secure Storage, confirming strong early demand for secure storage with long prepaid terms and transparent, verifiable commitments. In its first 30 days, CT3 recorded 64,000+ private uploads from 22,000+ unique users, alongside six corporate long-term archiving contracts. In total, the network secured 3,217,639.88 GB (≈3.21 PB) of data during the first month- clear evidence that CT3’s model is not theoretical, but already working at meaningful scale.
First-month performance (Private)
- Private uploads: 64,000+
- Total private data stored: 1,251,999.95 GB (≈1.25 PB)
- Average prepaid storage term (private): 975.86 days (≈2.67 years)
- Unique users: 22,000+
Derived signals (based on a 30-day month):
- ~2,133 private uploads per day
- ~41.7 TB/day of private data ingested
- ~19.6 GB average upload size
- ~2.9 uploads per user on average
First-month performance (Corporate)
- Corporate long-term contracts: 6
- Total corporate archives stored: 1,965,639.93 GB (≈1.97 PB)
- Corporate share of total stored volume: ≈61%
“Early infrastructure is judged by real usage, not roadmap promises,” Leandro Gomez , CEO of CT3. “In one month, we’ve already secured more than 3.21 PB across both private and enterprise adoption. The combination of broad user demand and large-scale corporate archives strongly validates the commercial and technical viability of CT3 Secure Storage.”
A key indicator of storage-market fit is not only volume, but also the length of commitment. CT3’s private users prepaid an average of 975.86 days of storage, signaling a preference for multi-year retention rather than short-term, transactional usage. In aggregate, the first-month private cohort represents 3,300+ TB-years of prepaid storage commitment- further reinforcing that users view CT3 Secure Storage as a credible destination for valuable data over the long term.
Enterprise adoption showed a complementary pattern: six long-term contracts accounted for nearly two petabytes in the first month, with an average archive size of ~327 TB per contract. This aligns with typical enterprise archiving dynamics, where a small number of organizations can contribute substantial volume- and it underscores CT3’s readiness for large datasets and retention-focused workloads.
On-chain verification via NFT access keys
CT3 uses NFT access keys as a portable access format for stored content: each key is associated with a specific storage object and includes parameters that can be used to verify network activity- such as file size (weight), storage term, and other metadata attributes.
To enable independent verification of the reported statistics- such as the number of issued keys and storage parameters- CT3 provides a public collection of storage access keys:

About CT3
CT3 builds decentralized storage infrastructure focused on reliable long-term data storage, cryptographic access control, and verifiable commitments. CT3 Secure Storage uses NFT keys as portable access rights: users can hold a key in a wallet, transfer it, or use it as proof of a prepaid storage term. By representing keys and their metadata on-chain, CT3 enables users and partners to verify storage parameters and usage signals using public data (via the NFT key collection and supported explorers/marketplaces).
