STORJ is an Ethereum ERC-20 token associated with Storj's distributed storage platform. Its historical payment role has changed: current Storj documentation says customer deposits and node payouts use USDC instead. Holding STORJ is therefore not the same as owning storage capacity or receiving current node-service payments.

What is Storj?
Answer sources checked
20 answers source-reviewed with Codex assistance. Reviewed . This review covers the answers, not exchange listings or the rest of the page.
How does Storj work?
Storj storage nodes earn compensation for providing storage and bandwidth under satellite payment rules. The STORJ token itself is transferred through Ethereum token contracts, not a separate Storj proof-of-stake blockchain. Current service payouts use USDC, so storage activity should not be described as automatic STORJ mining.
Who created Storj?
Storj Labs is the organization behind the storage service and its published node-payment documentation. That operational role is distinct from Ethereum's development and the independent operators supplying storage. The documents consulted here do not establish a complete personal founder roster, so no unsupported founder list is presented.
What is Storj used for?
STORJ historically served as a storage-payment and node-compensation token, but Storj now documents a switch to USDC. It can still exist as an Ethereum token independently of that service change. Do not assume buying STORJ pays a current storage invoice or entitles you to node earnings.

Where can you buy Storj?
Check STORJ trading and deposit availability on each platform's official site, including the supported network. Storj's documentation says zkSync Era node payouts were sunset, so an old payout guide is not evidence of a currently supported deposit route. Availability and withdrawal conditions must be checked separately.

How to buy Storj
Plan your purchaseHow much Storj?
How can you buy Storj safely?
Verify that you are buying the intended STORJ token rather than USDC used for current Storj payments. Confirm the network, token contract and recipient's deposit support, and compare the total quote. If you intend to run a storage node, read the current payout requirements before funding anything.
Can you buy a fraction of Storj?
STORJ is divisible as an ERC-20 token, so purchasing a whole token is not a protocol requirement. A trading platform may still impose order or withdrawal minimums. Current storage-node payouts are in USDC, so their payment thresholds should not be mistaken for STORJ purchase minimums.
How much does it cost to buy Storj?
The cost of buying STORJ can include a spread, trading and payment charges, plus a withdrawal charge. Ethereum transfers also require the host network's gas asset, not additional STORJ as native gas. Storj's current node-payment deductions and thresholds concern USDC service payouts, a separate calculation.
How much is one Storj worth?
Use this site's timestamped dynamic reference panel for STORJ's current market reference, then compare an executable quote. Storj storage-service prices and USDC node payouts are separate from the STORJ market price. Historical token-payment examples should not be treated as current customer billing terms.
Is Storj a good investment?
STORJ carries market and custody risks, including uncertainty about token demand after Storj's switch to USDC payments. Owning the token does not guarantee storage revenue, platform equity or a payout entitlement. Ethereum contract interactions and exchange restrictions create further exposure. This is not financial advice.
Compare two order previews
Use STORJ credited after buying fees and spread. Extra USD charges must exclude fees already included in the total. Enter 0 only when confirmed.

Storj wallets & storage
How do you get a Storj wallet?
Choose an Ethereum-compatible wallet that supports ERC-20 STORJ, and confirm the exact network before receiving funds. A Storj storage account or node dashboard is not automatically your token wallet. Existing balances on another supported network require that network's own recovery and transfer procedure.
How can you store Storj securely?
Keep the wallet's recovery phrase offline and verify STORJ contract details before approving transfers or swaps. Storage-node credentials and Ethereum wallet keys serve different purposes and should not be casually combined. A platform holding tokens for you adds counterparty risk even if it supports Storj-related services.
Sending & cashing out Storj
Match your networks
For STORJ, copy the exact network names shown in your apps. This compares your entries, not a verified list of supported networks.

Copy the exact network name shown for this asset in each app. No supported-network catalogue is assumed here.
How do you send Storj to another wallet?
Transfer STORJ through the wallet's token-send function on the network accepted by the recipient. Check the contract, address and available gas asset before signing. Do not send STORJ where the recipient requested a USDC node payout or assume an old zkSync payout address remains supported.
How long does a Storj transfer take?
A STORJ transfer depends on its host blockchain and the recipient's required confirmations. A Storj node-payment cycle is not the timing rule for an ordinary token transfer. Exchange processing, bridging and the sunset of old payout routes can create additional steps beyond an on-chain transaction.
How much does it cost to send Storj?
STORJ is not Ethereum's native gas currency; an Ethereum token transfer requires ETH for network execution. The charge varies with network conditions and the operation. Storj service-payout fee policies are separate, and historical zkSync payment instructions should not be used as current Ethereum fee estimates.
Can you cash out Storj for real money?
Use a platform that currently accepts STORJ deposits on your exact network, then check its trading and fiat-withdrawal terms. Current Storj node earnings are USDC and need a different asset-specific cash-out route. Neither a successful token deposit nor a service payout guarantees immediate bank access.
Is Storj traceable?
STORJ token transfers are recorded on Ethereum and are not inherently anonymous. Addresses can be linked to exchange records or other public activity. Storj's storage architecture concerns file storage and access; it does not turn STORJ transfers into private payments or erase their blockchain history.
Supply, mining & staking
What is the maximum supply of Storj?
Storj's own supply FAQ reports almost 425 million STORJ tokens in existence. That is its published total-supply reference; the FAQ does not specify a separate immutable maximum. It directs readers to quarterly token-balance and flow reports for further detail. Do not treat the published total as a live circulating-supply reading or assume treasury-held tokens are all available for immediate trading.

Can you mine Storj?
STORJ is not mined by performing proof-of-work. Running a Storj node means providing usable storage and bandwidth, with compensation governed by the relevant satellite's terms. Current documentation specifies USDC payouts, so describing node operation as mining new STORJ would misstate both the work and the payment asset.
Can you stake Storj?
Holding or locking STORJ does not provide native blockchain staking rewards in Storj's documented storage model. Node income comes from delivering a service and is now paid in USDC. Any third-party STORJ yield offer has separate lending, custody or contract risks and is not native consensus staking.
