KnoxFS is a Bitcoin-based cryptocurrency with a focus on decentralized data storage, distribution, privacy, and security. It aims to provide innovative, secure, and private storage applications to the non-blockchain and cryptocurrency-based world for both consumers and companies around the globe. KnoxFS utilizes existing third-party open-source storage networks, which enables scalability, flexibility, and redundancy.

The project was funded in late 2017 and was named Aegeus. The initial goal was to develop a decentralized storage network based on IPFS technology. Aegeus rebranded to KnoxFS in 2020 and made a pivot later that year. A new team and leadership switched focus to create storage applications for third-party networks. This change of strategy enabled KnoxFS to speed up development and shorten the time to market, while at the same time expanding the potential user base and actively pursue strategic partnerships.

Our long-term goal of KnoxFS is to offer a range of applications ('products') that are commercially viable, all centered around decentralized storage with a broad user base. Additionally, the self-developed software solutions will have the KFX currency as a payment option and therefore drive demand for the coin.
