Versions:
Tonutils Storage, currently at version 1.1.1 and offered in two successive releases by developer Oleg Baranov, is a golang-based implementation of TON Storage, the decentralized file-hosting layer of The Open Network blockchain. Designed to integrate seamlessly with the wider TON ecosystem, the utility allows node operators, service builders, and end-users to allocate local disk space, pin remote torrent-like bags of files, and serve requested chunks to the network in exchange for TON payments. Typical use cases include running a personal storage provider node that monetizes spare capacity, mirroring large public datasets for censorship-resistant access, backing up NFT media off-chain while keeping on-chain proofs, or embedding decentralized file retrieval into Telegram bots and Web3 dApps. Because the project is written in Go, binaries are lightweight, cross-platform, and simple to deploy alongside existing TON validator or lite-client setups. The software falls under the “Network & Internet – File Sharing / Peer-to-Peer” category and exposes both command-line flags and JSON-RPC endpoints for scripting and automation. Version histories indicate steady refinement of piece selection, encryption, and bandwidth controls, giving operators granular command over replication factor, storage quotas, and reward parameters. The open-source codebase also invites contributions that enhance compatibility with TON Distributed Hash Table standards and improve resistance to churn. Tonutils Storage is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads supplied through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, guaranteeing the latest build and optional batch installation alongside other applications.
