Hyperspace is a trustless, decentralized platform built with the intention of allowing users to maintain control of their data. Unlike traditional cloud storage providers, the Hyperspace protocol is blind to what data is stored on it, and the design of Hyperspace contracts mean that price and duration of your storage agreement cannot change once locked in. You don't risk losing your data because a company decides it's objectionable, or because of an increase in price halfway through the storage term.
To date, Hyperspace is one of only a few storage platforms that is truly decentralized - there is no third party that has the ability to modify storage contracts or erase your data. All agreements are controlled between the renter, the host(s), the decentralized autonomous network, and the blockchain. Another benefit of Hyperspace is that it's significantly cheaper than traditional cloud-based storage solutions, but with comparable uptime and fault tolerance characteristics.
Hyperspace allows anyone with spare hard drive space to rent it out on the Hyperspace network. Anybody anywhere in the world can add their storage to the Hyperspace network, and get paid to do so.
