StorX Deploys XDC Masternodes, Bolsters DePIN Infrastructure for AI-Driven Future

StorX Network has announced it is now operating XDC masternodes, marking a strategic expansion from a decentralized storage application to a core infrastructure provider within the XDC ecosystem. This move positions StorX alongside major industry players such as Animoca Brands, Deutsche Telekom, and SBI Holdings in maintaining the network's backbone. By securing its role as foundational data infrastructure for the AI era, StorX enables new capabilities for AI application access and enterprise workloads, signaling a bullish shift toward decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN) in the blockchain space.

Institutional readiness

In early 2026, StorX added support from institutional digital-asset infrastructure providers, enabling the custody guarantees that funds and enterprises require. The network’s native token,, is used strictly as a utility token: organizations pay in SRX for storage, and node operators earn SRX for contributing reliable capacity, with staking requirements that reinforce network consistency.

StorX Network supports S3-compatible storage, facilitating businesses and developers to connect existing applications, backup tools, and cloud workflows to decentralized storage without demanding a complete rebuild. This makes StorX relevant for enterprise backup, archival storage, AI data storage, Kubernetes backup, Google Workspace backup, and other data-heavy use cases.

StorX’s market visibility has also continued to strengthen across the decentralized storage and DePIN categories. As per CoinMarketCap category rankings at the time of writing, SRX is ranked 8th among storage tokens and 32nd within the DePIN category. SRX trades around $0.051 at the time of writing and is available across markets including MEXC, BingX, BitMart, Coinstore, Bitrue, Biconomy.com, BTSE, LCX Exchange, Oku Trade, Curve, and XSwap v3, with trading pairs including SRX/USDT, SRX/XDC, SRX/WXDC, SRX/USDC, and SRX/EUR. This broader market access reflects growing visibility for StorX as a working DePIN storage network with live users, deployed capacity, active infrastructure, and expanding participation within the XDC ecosystem.
