Crust Network

Type: Infrastructure - decentralized storage

Website: https://crust.network/

Crust Network is a decentralized, trustless storage layer built on IPFS and supported by thousands of globally distributed nodes. It provides censorship-resistant, verifiable storage for datasets, model artifacts, logs, and application state — all backed by a market-driven storage economy and TEE-enhanced security guarantees.

Integrated with Amadeus, Crust becomes the off-chain memory layer powering AI agents, oracle streams, model provenance, and long-term dataset storage. This positions Amadeus as a full-stack decentralized AI cloud: compute on Amadeus, storage on Crust.

Planned Capabilities for Amadeus​

Once integration is complete, Crust Network will enable Amadeus to:

  • Store AI agent memory, logs, and checkpoints in decentralized storage, with hashes anchored on-chain for provenance.
  • Extend Oracle Streams by providing a durable archival layer for historical datasets, enrichments, and inference outputs.
  • Support persistent agent states across long-running autonomous workflows with tamper-proof storage.
  • Enable decentralized dataset hosting, allowing developers to provide training data that Amadeus agents can access via IPFS.
  • Provide cross-ecosystem wallet compatibility (SubWallet, Talisman, Crust Wallet) for seamless user authentication and asset flow.
  • Create a durable data backend for uPoW compute, keeping training artifacts and model updates accessible to verifiers, enterprises, and permissioned workflows.

Example Use Cases​

Decentralized AI Memory​

Amadeus agents persist memory, logs, and model checkpoints on Crust, ensuring tamper-proof lineage and long-term versioning.

Archival Layer for Oracle Streams​

Live data served via Oracle Streams is continuously archived on Crust, enabling agents to learn from historical time-series datasets.

Dataset Hosting for AI Training​

Developers, enterprises, or researchers can publish datasets to Crust for Amadeus agents to use during training or evaluation.

Cross-Chain User Access​

Users from the Polkadot ecosystem can authenticate and interact with Amadeus using SubWallet or Talisman, enabling broader participation.

Durable Storage for uPoW Outputs​

Training outputs and inference artifacts produced under Useful Proof of Work are stored securely and verifiably for downstream consumption.

Current Status​

Integration is under active exploration, with technical design in progress and coordinated milestones across both teams.
