The record

Product: Carbide describes itself as a decentralized storage network that connects users’ files with a global network of providers.
Personal use: The personal offering is for photos, documents, and backups, with photo and video auto-sync, an encrypted vault, expiring share links, and up to 10x redundancy.
Business use: The business offering lists team workspaces with role-based access, audit logs, retention policies, and geographic redundancy across 30+ regions.
Developer support: Carbide describes its developer storage as API-first and S3-compatible, and lists a Swift SDK for iOS upload, download, encryption, and key management.
Encryption: The site says files are encrypted on the user’s device with AES-256-GCM and that providers cannot see the data under its zero-knowledge architecture.
Key responsibility: The terms say users manage their own private encryption keys and Carbide cannot recover data if keys are lost.
Distribution and redundancy: Encrypted chunks are distributed across independent providers, and users can choose 1–10 copies.
Provider earnings: The site lists Home at $0.002/GB, Professional at $0.004/GB, and Enterprise at $0.008/GB, with estimated earnings per TB per year for each tier.
Provider requirements: The terms say providers agree to maintain uptime and redundancy levels set by their node configuration, and failure to provide data may lead to loss of earnings or slashing of collateral.
Performance caveat: The terms state that the network is provided as-is without warranties and that performance depends on the aggregate behavior of independent participants.
Available platforms: The site says Carbide is available on macOS, Windows, and iOS, and also describes an Android app for managing, uploading, and sharing files.
Support and community: The site links to documentation, GitHub, Twitter, and Telegram; it does not state a support response time or service level on the opened pages.
Pricing model: The site says provider marketplace pricing starts at $0.002/GB and providers compete on price and quality.
Distribution: Encrypted file chunks are distributed across independent providers, with user-selectable redundancy from 1 to 10 copies.
Price from: $0.01/mo
