Free tier	No free capacity. No storage tier at all: 'Not a blockchain or storage network — durability relies on cheap, reliable object storage (S3-class) owned by origin operators.' Target delivery price $0.01/GB (node default rate `payment.rate_per_mb = 10` = $0.00001/MB). unit GB; metered on stored-bytes
Price	none stated
Per-object cap	not stated
Retention	not stated
Egress	$0.01/GB target, set per node and signed into every quote; client sets a ceiling. Testnet is sponsor-funded with a capped allowance — 'there is nothing to pay and no account to make' — but that is testnet money on Arbitrum Sepolia.
Identity	email email
Limits	per-ip-shaping 1 Gbps source write-gated approved, the rest of the network accepts your nodes as origins'), so publishing is writ source write-gated approval-gated source Per-MB payment is mandatory for clients on mainnet — there is no free reader tier. Namespaces gate the origin role ('Once you get approved, the rest of the network accepts your nodes as origins'), so publishing is write-gated by a human. Node bond on testnet is 50,000 TOKEN for anything up to ~1 Gbps; unbonding takes 14 days. 0.4% verification overhead plus node-to-node pull costs.
Binding	write-gated the write is a queue with a person or a rule in it, so the upload rate is set by somebody else
Interface	cli Client SDK (Rust; macOS/Linux/Windows, phone/browser in testing) + `decdn` CLI: `decdn get 'decdn:<blake3hash>/?ns=1'`. One human-verification step in a browser on first install.
Tooling	Install via `curl -fsSL https://up.decdn.org/decdn.sh \| sh -s -- get '<uri>'` (both scripts returned HTTP 200); PowerShell variant; node operator side is `decdn setup` / `decdn node bond`.
Composes with	Origin node in front of your own S3/R2/B2/NFS/local disk stays hidden; bonded nodes cache and re-serve over iroh QUIC with bao-encoded verified streaming. Multi-source fetch splits blobs >64 MiB across up to 4 nodes, one per operator. Publisher's own origin pulls are free — cache misses cost the serving node, not the publisher.
Reliability	Public testnet only (Arbitrum Sepolia, launched 2026-10-13); governance hash blacklist forces nodes to stop serving a listed hash within 24 h, and the origin role is approval-gated.
Notes	No free capacity. No storage tier at all: 'Not a blockchain or storage network — durability relies on cheap, reliable object storage (S3-class) owned by origin operators.' Target delivery price $0.01/GB (node default rate `payment.rate_per_mb = 10` = $0.00001/MB).
