Here’s my list so far
Storage sharing
Storj – centralized, but pays out in crypto
Siacoin – Fully decentralized storage
Filecoin – Decentralized storage, but requires a lot of resources to participate.
Arweave – Decentralized permanent storage
BTFS – Bittorrent file system, effectively get paid for pinning IPFS files
Network sharing
Mysterium – Get paid by acting as a VPN provider / exit node
NKN – Seems somewhat abandoned, relay network traffic
Utopia – Relay network traffic
PKT cash – Currently bandwidth hard POW, aims to transition to becoming a mesh vpn
Helium – LoRaWAN to internet gateway
Nodle – Bluetooth low energy to internet message relay
Subsidised compute – contributions to existing volunteer compute projects
Curecoin – Get paid for participating in folding@home
Banano – Get paid for participating in folding@home
Gridcoin – Get paid to participate in BOINC projects
Decentralised compute – Providing your computing power directly
Flux – Decentralised cloud compute, fixed node sizes. Requires a fair bit of collateral compared to the amount of earnings
Akash – Runs on kubernetes, can allocate any amount of resources
Golem – Primarily GPU compute focused
Are there any projects that I’ve missed, or any categories that I missed?
