Vital Storage
Your personal storage space
It holds things like a cloud drive, but it is owned, not rented: one “can” is a piece of Web3.0 personal distributed storage — permanently occupied, with no lease term, capacity written on the can, redeemable and upgradeable.
Definition
One can, three things
Stores qi, carries no annual fee ever, and is a tradable digital asset — the three foundational settings that set Vital Storage apart from an ordinary cloud drive.
Holds qi
A can holds “qi”; qi capacity is the storage ceiling, starting at 0. 1K = 1000 qi, 1M = 1 million qi, 1B = 1 billion qi.
Permanent · No annual fee
The five levels from Platinum to Green Gold carry an annual fee of 0; from Cyan Gold upward an annual fee applies by level (Cyan Gold 300 yuan / year, Black Gold 5000 yuan / year).
Redeemable · Tradable
Apart from the Platinum level granted at the start, every other level is an NFE digital product with sovereign-asset attributes, tradable at will once redeemed.
Levels
Nine levels, from 100MB to 1PB
Colour is the level. Capacity, qi capacity and annual fee rise with each level; “qi redemption” is the only key to crossing levels.
| Level | Qi capacity | Storable capacity | Annual fee (yuan) | Qi required to redeem |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Platinum Initial | 1K | 100MB | 0 | Granted |
| Crimson Gold | 3K | 500MB | 0 | 10 |
| Orange Gold | 5K | 1GB | 0 | 20 |
| Gold | 20K | 10GB | 0 | 30 |
| Green Gold | 100K | 100GB | 0 | 50 |
| Cyan Gold | 1M | 500GB | 300 | 1,000 |
| Blue Gold | 50M | 1TB | 1,000 | 2,000 |
| Purple Gold | 100M | 500TB | 3,000 | 20,000 |
| Black Gold | 1B | 1PB | 5,000 | 100,000 |
Rules
Redeeming, upgrading and holding
Four rules decide how many cans you can hold, how you move up, and why it counts as an asset.
Born with a Platinum can
Every user starts with one Platinum-level Vital Storage can — annual fee 0, ready out of the box, no redemption needed.
Qi redeems levels
A set amount of “vital qi” redeems the matching level — 10 qi for Crimson Gold, 1000 qi for Cyan Gold — and the higher the level, the more qi required.
Upgrades count by target level
Beyond the initial Platinum can, redeeming a new level is an upgrade: a Green Gold user who puts in 1000 qi becomes Cyan Gold, with no need to start a new can.
Two cans at most
The initial Platinum can plus any one redeemed level — two at most. Platinum is the starting service configuration; every other level is an NFE digital product with sovereign-asset attributes.
Next
Store it well, prove it clearly
Vital Storage answers “where things go”; Proof Box answers “whose this is, and when it existed” — one store, one proof, and the foundation is complete.
