Rent encrypted capacity from a real, distributed marketplace.

Spillway turns idle drives on home servers, NAS shelves, and small rigs into paid capacity, then rents that capacity to teams who need real bytes in the regions their users live. Whether you’re storing training checkpoints, on-chain archives, or raw research datasets, you should get a marketplace that’s honest about throughput, region, and price — not a datacentre quota few teams ever unlock.

  • Encrypted before the bytes leave your pipeline.
  • Region mix is part of the product — pick what your users actually touch.
  • Pay for duration and throughput — never give a third party a claim on your data.

What buyers actually get

Three guarantees, not a sales pitch.

Encrypted blobs at the edge

Anything you write to a Spillway host is encrypted end-to-end before it leaves your pipeline — hosts see ciphertext, bandwidth is metered, and your workload runs on their hardware as if it were yours.

Real regional throughput

Hosts whitelist their spare drives from NAS shelves and home servers across the regions you actually live in, so your reads do not crawl back from a single datacentre in one continent. Region mix is part of the product, not an afterthought.

No silent resale of your data

You pay for the duration and the throughput you reserve. Nothing about your blobs is repackaged into a downstream product — the marketplace promises the host a payout, not a claim on your bytes.
