- Determine the audience. You can give read permissions to any individual or group.
- Upload a file. This can be anything, from a line of text to a PDF.
- Share the permalink. Only the specified audience can read the file, without any intermediaries guaranteeing this. This permalink never changes, and is a cryptographic hash of the inputs Steps 1 and 2, ensuring resilient, tamperproof data forever.

Encrypted vault data is stored on IPFS, a distributed file storage protocol. Even if Seed Labs shuts down, all of your data still exists and can be retrieved. As a public benefit, we subsidize a private gateway for faster read/write speeds.
Tamper proof
Tamper proof
The Vault protocol uses a content-addressable filesystem, which ensures, without any middleman, that every byte of information is exactly the information you were looking to get.
This simple feature from IPFS combines with our encryption and sharing features to create a first-of-its-kind trustless file storage system.
