Overview

Aether reimplements cloud storage from the ground up without central authorities. Data is fragmented, encrypted, and duplicated across thousands of nodes worldwide, ensuring that it remains accessible even during major network failures or censorship attempts.

Key Features

End-to-end client-side encryption with zero-knowledge architecture
Self-healing network topography with automatic data redistribution
High-performance file retrieval via prioritized peer routing

Engineering Wins

1Implemented a custom gossip protocol for efficient network state synchronization
2Optimized small-file throughput by 3x using intelligent metadata caching

Impact & Vision

Provided a secure haven for archival data in volatile network environments
