After thoughtful evaluation, we’ve made the decision to officially shut down our Cold Storage service gradually. While it has served as an important component of our early infrastructure, this shift marks a strategic move toward supporting what matters most to our ecosystem today: the data cloud for decentralized AI.

Shutdown Timeline:

• After July 31, 2025: Upload functionality will be disabled. Users will only be able to download existing files.
• By August 31, 2025: Cold Storage services will be officially shut down.

What You Need to Know

• Cold Storage will be fully decommissioned on August 31, 2025
• Please download and back up your files before this date
• Hot Storage remains fully operational and continues to power the OORT DataHub
• No impact on staking, task participation, or user rewards

Why this matters

As OORT DataHub rapidly scales, our Hot Storage has become the backbone for real-time storage of AI datasets contributed by our global community. To ensure optimal performance, security, and scalability, we’re consolidating our efforts and infrastructure around Hot Storage, which is purpose-built for DataHub’s data storage needs.

This isn’t just a shutdown, it’s a step forward. We’re aligning OORT’s infrastructure with our long-term vision: empowering users and enterprises to collect, store, and monetize high-quality AI data in a decentralized way.

Thank you for growing with us. Let’s keep building the future of AI, together.
