Three ways in
Developers
Encrypted storage, streaming and AI in a few API calls — a decentralised, S3-compatible alternative to AWS.
Build on ZiBNode Operators
Turn spare storage and compute on hardware you already own into USDC earnings. No mining, no staking, no lock-ups.
Run a node & earnStudios & Publishers
Host, encode and protect your catalogue, control its rights, and distribute to any screen — with USDC payouts built in.
Open the StudioThe Flaw in the Cloud
Centralised AI infrastructure means one company sees every request, controls pricing, and holds your data. ZiB is the alternative.
$400B+
The projected cloud AI infrastructure market by 2028 — almost entirely controlled by three companies. That's not infrastructure. That's a monopoly with an API.
The centralised model is broken for AI:
AI Vendor Lock-in
Your data, your usage, your pricing — all controlled by the same company that can cut you off tomorrow.
Inference Surveillance
Every request you send to a centralised AI provider is logged, profiled, and owned by them. Your data trains their next model.
Data Breaches
Single points of failure that attackers can — and do — target. One breach exposes everything.
Outages
When AWS goes down, everything goes down. Centralised architecture makes downtime everyone's problem.
Everything AI applications need.
Owned by no one. Available to everyone.
No vendor in the loop. Every capability runs on hardware you own, behind keys only you hold — with no central point to breach, throttle, or shut down.
Unbreakable Security
Files are encrypted on your device before they leave it, then split into redundant pieces across multiple nodes. Operators only see anonymous fragments — never your filenames, folders, or content — and all internal traffic runs on a private network sealed off from the public internet.
Self-Healing Network
Continuous health checks detect offline nodes within seconds. Missing pieces are automatically rebuilt until full redundancy is restored.
Video Streaming
Hardware-accelerated HLS encoding with adaptive quality. Segments are encrypted and delivered directly from nodes — no CDN middleman in the data path.
Developer SDK
One ZiBStorage SDK handles encrypted upload, HLS encoding and Vision AI — a single call each, no cloud credentials in the browser. Also S3-compatible for reads and object management (SigV4 or token auth), so it fits your existing S3 tooling.
Direct Ingest from Your Node
PIN-pair the desktop app to your account and drop files straight in. Your node encrypts, splits, and encodes them locally — no browser upload, no round-trip through any cloud. Same pipeline, no upload bandwidth costs. Super fast.
Blazing-Fast Speeds
Files are retrieved in parallel from the nearest nodes, ensuring faster download and upload speeds compared to traditional centralised services.
AI That Runs
Inside the Network
Run AI analysis directly on your stored, encrypted video — speech, vision, GARM brand-safety scoring and IAB Content Taxonomy categorisation. All on the network. Never seen by a third party.
Transcription & Captions
Full transcripts with timestamps, speaking pace, and confidence scores — powered by on-device speech recognition. Captions are generated automatically and play directly on your video stream.
Scene & Visual Analysis
Per-keyframe emotion, body language, brand detection, thumbnail scoring, and production quality — analysed by on-device vision models running directly on the node. No cloud. No third party.
One Output File Per Video
One canonical encrypted output per video. Clip suggestions with vertical-crop scores, IAB taxonomy, GARM brand safety, and thumbnail rankings — plus YouTube-ready chapter timestamps you can paste straight into your description.
One SDK.
Storage, Streaming & AI.
The ZiBStorage SDK handles client-side encryption, resumable uploads, HLS encoding and Vision AI — each a single call, with no cloud credentials ever exposed in the browser. Prefer to integrate server-side? ZiB is also S3-compatible for reads and object management — point your existing S3 tooling at our endpoint (uploads run through the SDK so files are encrypted before they leave the device).
Encrypted Upload + Encode + AI
One SDK call each; files are encrypted on your device before any bytes leave it
No Credentials in the Browser
The server issues a scoped registration — the SDK handles the security
Also S3-Compatible
List, read and manage objects with existing S3 tooling (SigV4 or token auth); uploads run through the SDK

Whole Catalogue
ZiB Studio is your whole back-of-house, built into the network. Bring your masters in once, line them up into series, seasons and episodes, and let the network handle post — encrypting, encoding to a full quality ladder, and running Vision AI on every title. The catalogue and its rights stay in your hands, never a platform's.
Seasons, Episodes & Titles
Lay out a boxset the way it screens — seasons, episodes, features and shorts — with artwork, chapters, cast and captions. A catalogue you own outright and can move any time.
Ingest to Screen
Hand off a master from the browser SDK or straight off your edit machine. Each title is encrypted on-device, sharded across nodes, and encoded to a full 240p–1080p ladder with posters and scrub thumbnails — automatically.
Vision AI in the Edit
The network screens every title back for you — transcripts and captions, GARM/IAB brand-safety, chapter markers, thumbnail picks and clip suggestions ready to cut — on your encrypted media, seen by no third party.
Your Content.
Your Rules.
Choose which publishers can carry your catalogue, and set where each title is available or blocked — by territory, with optional date windows. ZiB checks those rights on every single stream request, so a viewer in a blocked region simply can't play it.
Per-Publisher Carriage
Toggle which publishers may carry your titles — grant or revoke at any time
Territory Availability
Mark each title or series available or blocked by country, with optional date windows
Enforced at Play Time
Viewer geo is resolved and checked on every stream request — fail-closed, not just written in a contract
Instant-On
Content
No content deals to negotiate frame-by-frame, no library to ingest, no encoding backlog. The moment a grant lands, licensed titles appear in your feed — fully encoded and ready to stream. Grab the feed from the API and you're away.
Instant-On Catalogue
The second a creator grants you rights, those titles show up in your feed — already encoded to a full HLS ladder, with artwork, metadata and captions. Nothing to ingest, nothing to re-host.
One Feed, Any Player
Pull your catalogue feed from a single ZIBPK-keyed API — it returns signed HLS playback URLs served directly from nodes. Drop it into your existing web, mobile or smart-TV player and go live in an afternoon.
Metered & Settled
Egress is metered per GB and per play, and settled in USDC — so creators get paid for exactly what publishers deliver, automatically.
Get Paid in USDC
Monetisation is native to the network and denominated in USDC. Ad revenue on your videos is split with the publisher and settled automatically; publishers pay for the delivery they use. Payouts are on-chain — no invoices, no 60-day terms.
50%
Creator
50%
Publisher
ZiB takes 0% of content revenue — infrastructure is billed separately.
Ad-Supported
Video ad revenue is shared 50/50 between creator and publisher and settled on-chain to a USDC payouts ledger — claim it whenever you like.
Publisher Pays Delivery
Publishers fund a prepaid USDC balance; egress is metered per GB and drawn down in real time. Creators never pay to have their content delivered.
Pay-Per-View Roadmap
Consumer USDC unlocks per title — designed and priced, rolling out with the monetisation layer. Creator minimum prices are already captured in Studio today.
ZiB never takes a cut of your content revenue
The content-revenue split is between you and your publisher — full stop. ZiB only ever bills for infrastructure it actually provides: storage, encoding, AI compute and delivery. No platform tax on what you earn from your audience.
Earn USDC
With Your Storage & Compute
Install a node. Contribute storage, serving and compute on hardware you own. Earnings accrue as you store, serve and process — claimed on-chain in USDC. No mining, no staking, no lock-ups.
Storage Jobs
Earn per GB stored and data delivered by the ZiB CDN. The network routes jobs to the nearest available nodes automatically.
Encoding Jobs
Run hardware-accelerated HLS encodes and earn per completed job.
AI Compute Jobs
Nodes with capable GPUs can opt into transcription and vision analysis jobs, earning a premium rate per completed inference.
How We Stack Up
The future is DePIN. We didn't build a better cloud — we reinvented storage and compute.
