Software developer searching for a web3 solution to store their files and build dApps
About Shadow Realm
Everyone begins their cloud journey working with storage. Maybe that's Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, or iCloud drive. But that's definitely where everyone's journey starts. So what is the web3 equivalent to those? Shadow Drive. Using any Solana wallet, and a little bit of $SHDW, users can carve out permanent, dedicated storage to store their files (and it doesn't even hash the filename). Beyond that, any software developer that wants to build a dApp that requires some sort of file storage (because the app creates data, or because the users upload data), Shadow Drive comes with a full-fledged SDK (JS or Rust) for baking storage capability straight into your dApp. An RPC, on its own, stores and performs all of the same tasks as an actual Solana validator with the exception of actual voting on new blocks. It also handles the bulk of data lookups for the Solana blockchain. Because it handles all of the same traffic as a validator but the additional traffic of just looking up data.
