Different from the current cloud storage solutions, which are mostly centralized storage providers, this paper proposes a decentralized storage system based on blockchain technology, which can make full use of the remaining space of personal hard disks of users around the world. Storage provider performs a data integrity certificate to the user, and after verifying that the verification is passed, the user pays the storage fee to the storage provider through the lightning network technology. All proofs and payment information are stored in the blockchain, which guarantees the security and credibility of the system. Compared with the current mainstream distributed storage systems, this scheme has been improved in terms of system access and payment methods.
