Itheum × Lighthouse: Making Decentralized Storage Work for Creators

3 min readJun 19, 2025

Supercharging and simplifying IPFS and FileCoin Tooling for Itheum’s data tokenization infrastructure.

In today’s fast-moving Web3 and AI landscape, decentralized data storage is more important than ever — but still out of reach for many. While protocols like IPFS, Filecoin, and Arweave offer powerful tools, they can be technically intimidating. That’s especially true for creators — musicians, digital artists, AI agents, developers — who need to store and stream large files like music tracks, metadata, and creative assets. The complexity often gets in the way of innovation.

ZedgeStorage: Making Decentralized Storage Easy for Everyone

Enter ZedgeStorage, the storage and data streaming layer behind Itheum. It’s designed to abstract away the headaches of decentralized storage by working seamlessly across multiple protocols — including IPFS, Filecoin, Arweave, Sui Walrus, and more.

With a clean drag-and-drop interface, creators and developers can upload music files, documents, or any type of data and instantly tokenize them into Data NFTs / Data Tokens — complete with live data streams. No technical deep dive required. Just simple, secure, and fast storage that works across chains.

A Perfect Match: Itheum × Lighthouse

We’re excited to announce our partnership with Lighthouse, a next-gen protocol focused on decentralized storage infrastructure built on IPFS and Filecoin. Lighthouse offers streamlined content storage, discoverability, and access using Web3-native tools — making it a perfect fit for our mission to make decentralized tech usable and accessible.

Why Itheum and Lighthouse Work Well Together

At Itheum, we’ve built a robust abstraction layer for Data NFTs / Data Tokens, and dynamic data streams — working across various chains and storage networks. Our tooling also supports decentralized naming systems (like IPNS and DNSLink) and content updates, giving creators flexible and future-proof ways to manage their data.

With Lighthouse in the mix, we get:

Streamlined integration with IPFS and Filecoin for powerful and reliable storage.
Web3-native discoverability and accessibility of assets.
Better support for creators storing dynamic, high-value content like music, video, or metadata.

Together, we’re pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with decentralized data. For creators, it means less friction — and more power to build, share, and monetize.

Looking Ahead

This partnership is a big milestone in our mission to make decentralized storage intuitive, scalable, and creator-first. By combining Itheum’s multi-chain abstraction with Lighthouse’s storage expertise, we’re building a future where creators and communities have true control over their data.

We’ve got more tools and features coming soon — designed to unlock the full potential of Data NFTs / Data Tokens, and decentralized IP.
