First of all, one thing is important. Cubbit is not actually a decentralised system. At this stage, Cubbit is a distributed, zero-knowledge, end-to-end encrypted cloud storage solution. In fact, Cubbit's infrastructure revolves around three players: the user, the nodes, and the coordinator.

Once a file is uploaded on Cubbit, it get encrypted, splitted in dozens of chunks and distributed around the network. This process is zero-knowledge. This means that Cubbit and its coordinator is never able to see any data and any information of the file or the user.

Second, blockchain solutions revolve around two categories: customers and storage providers. Cubbit can rely on 3000+ nodes around the globe of technology enthusiast that contribute with space and unused internet resources to the system. Hosting the nodes and providing space to the system without paying the service. This space is then used to store the professional service of Cubbit for companies.
