We support Sia cloud storage
The Sia Foundation invests in and strengthens the Sia cloud storage network, engages the Sia community, and educates the public about the urgency of data privacy and ownership.
Sia is the world’s safest cloud storage, by design
Status quo storage is not safe.
Sia is a pure decentralized peer-to-peer network.
No central access point, no gatekeepers, and no insanely expensive hardware requirements.
Why does decentralization matter?
It’s the key to how the Sia network keeps a file safe and sound.

People need a choice and a champion.
Absolutely everyone on our team is here to strengthen the Sia network and educate the public about the urgency of data privacy and ownership.
Principles are everything.
Creativity
We’re grounded in a simple principle: if a system is broken, create a better one. We replaced centralized data storage with a model that stores your data without ever seeing it. The Sia Foundation rejects outdated assumptions and designs new infrastructure where privacy is the default — not a privilege.
Integrity
At the Sia Foundation, protecting people means never cutting corners. We approach complex challenges with discipline, build with precision, and speak with honesty. No shortcuts. No overpromising. Just dependable technology built to last — and built for people.
Agency
We believe that everyone should be able to control their own data — even if they can’t code. At the Sia Foundation, our job is to make decentralized cloud storage secure and accessible, offering everyday people the same privacy and agency that security experts enjoy. We only build tech that protects and empowers.

We offer more than just competitive compensation, outstanding benefits, and a healthy work-life balance. At the Sia Foundation, you’ll join a team united by purpose—working side by side to build the cloud storage alternative the world needs.
