Cubbit is supported by national and international organizations that think we are doing great work - as well as by our amazing users, backers, testers and customers who helped us deliver one of the most successful crowdfunding campaigns in history!
Technically, the network is designed to have an intrinsic surplus of storage: 50% of the physical connected storage is made available as cloud space to the user, 25% is used for ensuring redundancy, and we leverage the remaining 25% to provide advanced web services to businesses to cover the costs and sustain the service in the long run. There are also endless possibilities given the distributed nature of the technology that we are always working on and considering to help us diversify.
In any worst-case scenario, we would release the coordinator code open source, so that anyone can host it and continue to use Cubbit — without losing any data and guaranteeing the continuation of the mission of private, distributed and accessible cloud storage and services for all!
