Crust Network Coin (CRU) is a utility token that represents the value of the Crust network platform, which is a decentralized network of storage that allows individuals to contribute as storage providers and receive rewards. The platform is also a distributed network that is open to all users without any restrictions.

According to its whitepaper, the Crust network is a new generation of blockchain technology that enables decentralized computing and storage. Decentralized storage ensures that files are stored on distinct hosts by allocating them all over the network without involving any centralized entity. The platform aims to provide cloud solutions and a decentralized storage network for Web3.0 and Web2.0 ecosystems on Polkadot.

The Crust network is an open and fair mechanism that features low-energy consumption and high security. The platform encrypts files to protect privacy, and it is a network with Guaranteed Proof-of-Stake (GPoS) that makes the network efficient, strong, and safe. The platform also seeks to offer an on-chain storage market, known as the decentralized storage market, through which users can place storage orders and upload files within the network. Additionally, the Crust network platform offers a storage assurance pool for permanent or customized storage of essential files.

Users can utilize the CRU token to stake for maintaining the GPoS consensus of the platform. The token is also used to pay transaction fees when they utilize the platform, and it allows users to sell resource services, vote and elect on-chain governance mechanisms. Furthermore, CRU serves as collateral or security to offer resource service.

Crust Network is an open-source project that receives funding from the Decentralized Cloud Foundation (DCF). In March 2020, the team launched Crust Alphanet, followed by Crust Betanet in June. The platform officially launched in 2021, and the total supply of CRU tokens is twenty million.

By utilizing the Crust network platform and CRU token, users can enjoy low-energy consumption and high-security storage solutions, access on-chain storage markets, and utilize storage assurance pools. Moreover, users can participate in the decision-making process and governance mechanisms of the platform.
