Overview
Storage for apps that hold other people’s data. S3 in, your users’ existing sign-in, a stated home and span for every file, and receipts on Sui anyone can check.
Features
Section titled “Features”| Feature | In one line |
|---|---|
| S3 and identity | The S3 API. Your users’ sign-in is the credential; each user is a tenant. |
| Shared spaces | A bucket one user owns and invites others into, with an optional age limit. |
| Encryption choices | Per bucket or file: our managed keys (default), your own key service, or your own encryption. |
| Data residency | Data stays in your region, archived there too if you want. Only fingerprints go public. |
| Placement | Per file: the deployment’s disk, held for a window, or Walrus. |
| Retention | Every object’s span recorded, watched and renewed. |
| Receipts | Fingerprint and version history on Sui. |
| Custody and deletion | Hold material for a user; delete it by destroying its key, with a certificate. |
| Leaving | Receipts on Sui point to your data on Walrus, findable without us. |
| Delegated access | A scoped, revocable grant for an agent or session key. |
| Agent space | Shared agent work with a referee and a recorded, fixed end. |
| Warranties | Your signed claims about an exact set of files, witnessed and kept current. |
| Public ledger | Every write, read, delete and refusal, rooted on Sui. |
| Metered access | Auth, rate limits and counting per request; per-tenant write and read limits; optional billed reads. |
| Deployment page | Usage, balance and holdings, for your team and each user. |
Uploads and reads feel fast. That is the whole performance claim.
What it is not
Section titled “What it is not”- Not a database, model or memory system. It sits underneath them.
- Not a shared public service. Each team gets a dedicated deployment.
- Not storage without end. Bytes are kept for their stated span, renewed while the deployment runs. The receipt resolves on Sui regardless.
- Not user-facing. Users see outcomes: their data is theirs, deletions come with a certificate, records are checkable.
Permafrost runs on Sui testnet and Walrus testnet. Everything here describes a shipped testnet instance, not a production service.
