CT3 Secure Storage Reports Breakout First-Month Results: 3.21+ PB Stored and 22,000+ Unique Users
Press release
PRESS RELEASE.
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 a 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).
