The Vault That Can't Lose Your Stuff — Cloud Storage You Actually Own
Every cloud you've ever used has the same catch: someone else holds the keys. Dropbox can lock you out. Google can read it, scan it, or sunset the product. A company can go bankrupt and take your files with it. A hard drive can die. You're always renting space in someone else's building.
Indelible's Vault flips that. Your files live on the BSV blockchain — encrypted with your key, permanent, and readable only by you. No subscription that can lapse. No company that can delete it, snoop on it, or disappear. You don't rent the building; you own the deed.
And the best part: you can just tell your AI to save something, or drag it into the Vault tab in your browser. Both land in the same place — your permanent, private vault.
What actually goes in it
Not just text or code — the Vault handles real files:
📄 Documents — your will, lease, passport scan, tax records, contracts
🖼️ Photos & media — images, PDFs, even audio and video
📁 Whole folders — drop an entire project or a folder of files and it bundles the lot
💻 Code & projects — snapshot a codebase and restore it on any machine
When you upload a folder from your browser, it's smart about it: it skips the junk (node_modules, caches, build output) and — importantly — won't sweep up secrets like your .env file. You get your real work saved, not the clutter.
How you use it — two ways, same vault
Through your AI, anywhere you chat with it:
🗣️ "Save this file to my vault." → it saves it, encrypted, and hands you back a permanent ID plus a fingerprint (a SHA-256 hash) proving exactly what was stored.
🗣️ "Save my whole project folder." → the entire directory goes up as one encrypted bundle.
🗣️ "Pull back that file I saved last week." → it restores it from the chain, byte-for-byte.
Through the Vault tab on the website:
Drag in a file or a whole folder to save it.
Browse everything as a folder tree — expand and collapse like a file explorer.
Open, preview, and download any file (photos and PDFs preview right there).
It caches your vault locally, so browsing is instant next time.
Everything you save from the AI shows up in the Vault tab, and vice versa — one vault, reachable from your terminal or your browser.
The index: your vault's table of contents
Behind the scenes there's a small but important piece — the vault index. Each time you save, your AI can update an on-chain index that lists everything you've stored (every file and project, with names and dates). That index is what makes the Vault tab show a tidy, browsable library instead of a pile of anonymous transactions. It's the difference between "your stuff is on the chain somewhere" and "your stuff is organized and one click away."
🗣️ "Update my vault index." → your library is current and everything's findable.
Why this is genuinely different
Where every normal cloud falls short — and what the Vault does instead:
The keys: they hold them → you hold yours, and only your wallet can decrypt it.
Privacy: can be scanned, sold, or deleted → encrypted, and nobody else can read it.
Permanence: vanishes if the company folds → permanent on the chain, outliving any company.
Cost: a monthly subscription forever → pay once per save (a few cents in sats), and keep it forever.
Trust: you trust the provider → you verify it yourself; every save has a hash and a public transaction ID.
That last one matters most. When you save a file, you get back a content fingerprint (SHA-256) and a transaction ID. You don't have to trust that it was stored correctly — you can prove it. Years from now you can pull it back and confirm it's the exact same bytes.
Real-world ways people use it
The "can't-lose-these" folder: legal docs, IDs, insurance — the stuff you'd panic about losing. Encrypted, permanent, only you.
Family photos that outlive any service: not trapped in a platform that might shut down or hike its price.
Proof you made something: save your manuscript, song, or design and you've got a timestamped, tamper-proof record of the day it existed — for any creator worried about ownership.
Move to a new computer in one line: "Restore my project from the vault," and your whole folder rebuilds itself.
A second copy that isn't on your hardware: drives die; the chain doesn't.
The whole idea in one sentence
Most clouds ask you to trust them with your files. Indelible's Vault lets you own them — encrypted, permanent, provable, and yours — and your AI does the saving and restoring for you, just by asking.
Every file is encrypted to your wallet and stored on the BSV blockchain. Only you can read it. Save it from your AI or drag it into the Vault tab — same vault, yours forever.
