ShadowVault

ShadowVault is your personal, private, and permissionless file vault. It lets you upload, store, and share files securely using decentralized infrastructure β€” with full encryption and no central authority.

β€œIf someone can access your files without your key β€” you don’t own them. ShadowVault changes that.”


🧨 Why It Matters

Big cloud platforms (Google Drive, Dropbox, iCloud) track and index your files. They:

  • Scan content for profiling or ads

  • Comply with censorship requests

  • Can be hacked, subpoenaed, or shut down

With ShadowVault, only you hold the decryption key. No one β€” not even 0xShadow β€” can access your files.


🧠 How It Works

  1. πŸ”’ You upload a file through ShadowVault

  2. 🧬 It’s encrypted client-side (in your browser)

  3. 🌐 The encrypted file is stored on a decentralized network

  4. πŸ”‘ You receive a unique access link + decryption key

  5. πŸ‘€ Only someone with the key can unlock the file

πŸ” Important:

Lose the key β€” lose the file. ShadowVault does not store your key. Your data = your responsibility = your power.
