London, United Kingdom, July 15, 2026, Chainwire, Court 3 today announced the transition of its decentralized storage infrastructure to a dedicated storage contracts model designed to support continued platform growth, improve infrastructure scalability, and expand storage capacity as demand increases. The transition follows rapid growth across the CT3 ecosystem, with more than 180,000 unique users having used the platform and more than 500,000 uploads completed.

Each upload is linked to an NFT access key, allowing platform activity and network usage to be independently verified on chain. Continued growth in demand for CT3. Cloud services has increased pressure on the existing infrastructure, processing all new uploads through a single, collection and one smart contract may reduce scaling flexibility and make storage capacity more difficult to manage as network activity expands. Under the new architecture, new uploads will be distributed across dedicated storage contracts rather than a single main contract. Each storage contract is linked to a fixed amount of storage capacity and operates as an independent infrastructure segment with its own capacity, utilization level, and on-chain statistics.

The new model is intended to distribute workloads across multiple smart contracts. improve the transparency and measurement of resource utilization, and support the deployment of additional storage capacity as demand grows. Participants may finance the deployment of new storage contracts and the addition of storage capacity. The allocated capacity is used to store files uploaded through CT3. Cloud, while the resulting profit is shared between CT3 and the participant who financed the infrastructure expansion.

Infrastructure segmentation previously, CT3 keys were issued primarily. primarily through the main collection and a single contract flow. As the platform expanded, this model became less flexible for handling different categories of data. Storage contracts divide the infrastructure into separate segments. Each segment operates through its own smart contract, is linked to a specific amount of storage capacity. Conserve a particular category of files, allows capacity utilization and workload to be measured independently, reduces pressure on the main NFT key issuance process. This separation makes the infrastructure more resilient and allows individual areas of the platform to scale without rebuilding the entire system.

How the allocated storage capacity is U.S.ED each storage contract is linked to a defined amount of capacity within the CT3 network. Once activated, the corresponding storage space is supplied by network nodes and used to store data uploaded through CT3. Cloud. The allocated capacity may be used for standard user files, corporate archives, automatic backer, long-term datasets, future CT3 products and applications. Larger contracts can accommodate heavier files and more substantial flows of corporate or backup data. This allows the network to direct workloads tow infrastructure segments with sufficient available capacity. Storage contract economics the commercial model behind storage contracts is based on the real use of CT3 infrastructure. The platform acquires storage capacity from node operators and provides it to CT3. Cloud

customers at the market price of the storage service. A participant finances the deployment of a new storage contract and the expansion of the network's available capacity. Once launched, this capacity ISUSED to store personal and corporate data, while the generated profit IS distributed between the investor and CT3. The financial performance of each contract depends on two main factors, the actual utilization of the allocated capacity. The margin between the cost of acquiring storage capacity and the price charged to end users. Storage contracts therefore allow participants to take part in the growth of CT3 infrastructure and potentially earn income linked to real demand for storage services. The more actively the allocated capacity is used, the greater the contract's potential result.

On chain transparency, the operation of each storage contract can be verified through the blockchain. Files stored within the allocated capacity are represented by NFT keys containing storage-related metadata. The combined size of the files associated with these keys can be compared with the utilization figure displayed for the contract. Through the smart contract address, an investor can verify issued NFTs, collection activity, and the actual use of the capacity they help finance. This model makes it possible to independently verify the number of keys created. The volume of stored data, utilization of the allocated capacity, activity within a specific storage contract, The relationship between infrastructure usage and profit generation.

For CT3, cloud users, the experience remains unchanged. Both existing and new NFT keys continue to be supported, and the transition to the new architecture requires no additional action. About CT3 CT3 is developing a decentralized data storage infrastructure that combines independent nodes, the CT3. Cloud interface, NFT access keys, and blockchain verification. Users upload files through CT3, Cloud, after which the data is distributed across network nodes, an NFT key is created for every stored object, confirming access rights and containing the relevant

storage metadata. Within this model, nodes provide physical storage capacity. CT3 manages data distribution and access, while individual and corporate users generate demand for storage services. As the number of users and uploads increases, the network must continuously expand its available capacity. At certain times, demand growth may outpace the addition of new capacity from node operators. Storage contracts allow CT3 to add new resources in a structured way and allocate them to specific areas of use. Contact CMO Rodrigo Perecic 3 contact at CT3.
