Storj 101
STORJ is the native token of a decentralized cloud storage network by the same name. Kind of like a decentralized version of Amazon Web Services, it cuts up encrypted versions of files and stores them on anonymous people’s computers all over the world.
Those that rent out their hard drives earn STORJ tokens in return. Payouts vary, but Storj estimates earnings of $1.5 per terabyte of disk space. As of May 2022, the market capitalization for the STORJ token is far smaller than its main competitor, Filecoin.

What can you do with Storj?
Within the Storj network, you can use STORJ to buy storage space or earn it by renting out your own, or performing validation services.
Of course, since STORJ is a volatile cryptocurrency, you could invest in it to speculate on its price, or plug it into decentralized finance protocols that pay out yields. Just remember that many of these protocols are risky.
Is Storj a smart investment?
Crypto carries risks — but generally speaking, our advice (regardless of whether you’re investing in Storj or stocks) is: never invest what you can’t afford to lose. The smartest way to grow your money long term is with a diversified, low-cost portfolio that tracks the market.
How we keep your Storj safe
As Canada’s first regulated crypto trading platform, we’re required to meet certain requirements — like using only qualified custodians (like Coinbase Custody) for cold storage.
FYI: Wealthsimple Crypto is not an exchange itself. Instead, we work with multiple exchanges to give you the best Storj prices.
And to make sure your coins are extra protected, we’ve partnered with Coincover for an extra layer of security.
