Self-Chain, a popular modular, intention-centric L1 blockchain, has launched a new partnership with Crust Network, a substrate layer-1 chain. The joint effort focuses on revolutionizing distributed storage by combining the strengths of both companies. The platform used the official X account to reveal this development.
📢Partnership Announcement 📢
I’m happy to welcome @crustnetwork into the self-chain ecosystem!
Together, it combines the crust’s IPFS-based infrastructure with self-chain intention-centered execution and keylessness…pic.twitter.com/xekah4c6z9 to allow for more seamless access to distributed storage.

Self-chain and crust networks work together to provide seamless, secure, distributed storage
As part of this collaboration, self-chain will lay-ledge layers of IPFS-based crust networks. This is combined with a self-chain cutting-edge keyless wallet mechanism and an execution model focused on intent. Each synergy provides a seamless, consumer-friendly, and secure experience while accessing Web3-based distributed storage.
Crust networks are gaining great attention among the leading distributed storage platforms in the market. The platform boasts up to 700 petabytes in terms of bases and storage capacity, with more than 1K nodes worldwide. The platform offers authorized, scalable file storage services for personal files, NFT metadata, DAPPS, and websites. Now, working with self-chain, consumers and developers will be able to enjoy an exclusive interaction experience with intent-based storage execution.
Therefore, rather than navigating complex, multi-step forwarding or manual authorization, consumers can simply describe the intended activity. The main activities in this regard include getting or uploading files. Following this, the self-chain execution layer works efficiently on the rest. This particularly affects the multi-chain atmosphere, characterized by complexity that hinders adoption.
In addition to this, the partnership also provides keyless security mechanisms by utilizing MPC-TSS and account abstractions. In particular, account abstraction and multi-party calculation-threshold signature scheme (MPC-TSS) technology eliminates traditional private key and seed phrase requirements. Therefore, the keyless model allows consumers to interact with the crust storage market in a secure way without compromising on flexibility or control.
New standard settings for Web3 experience through intelligent automation integration
According to self-chain, its modular architecture becomes much easier after the onboarding storage ecosystem of crust networks. Thus, this collaboration not only reduces technical obstacles, it also paves the way for a relatively resilient storage layer and complements the self-chain execution first design. Together, both entities are redefine the Web3 experience with programmable and reliable storage services by integrating intelligent automation and infrastructure resilience.
