Meson has achieved a seamless integration with Filecoin/IPFS through Meson Cloud, significantly improving the speed and experience of retrieving and storing Filecoin/IPFS files. Unlike traditional shared upload and retrieval gateways, Meson Cloud adopts completely independent upload and retrieval gateways, reducing the risks associated with single point of failure.
Meson Cloud is a Web3 application layer that utilizes Meson's bandwidth marketplace as its foundation.****
mCloud is a Web3 Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) solution that offers a more environmentally sustainable method of hosting and deploying applications. It supports both full-stack applications and docker deployment techniques.
Easily deploy complex architectures with a single click and obtain a secure, fully-constructed hosting infrastructure within seconds.
Users can deploy applications both in traditional data centers and on various blockchain nodes simultaneously, preventing service unavailability due to a single point of dependency.
Maximize the value of your resources by choosing the most cost-effective and affordable service from a range of plans.
Gateway X, provided by Meson Cloud Services, is a Gateway Service that functions as a bridge between Web3 such as IPFS/Arweave and traditional Web2.
Gateway X offers users unlimited storage capacity for caching and charges based on bandwidth usage.
Gateway X provides a dedicated gateway connection, supports multiple Web3 Domain Name Service resolution acceleration services, and facilitates seamless interaction with the conventional Internet.
Gateway X offers one-click migration / backup for IPFS & Arweave files. It allows easy pinning of IPFS & Arweave stored files to both Meson Cloud and the user's local storage, guaranteeing the permanent storage of NFTs and other files.
How can Gateway X be distinguished from other hosted services that employ IPFS and Arweave in terms of advantages?
Gateway X is a web3 storage solution that provides several advantages over other hosted services that utilize IPFS and Arweave. One of the most significant benefits of Gateway X is its scalability. The platform is designed to ensure robust performance and dependability, even when dealing with vast amounts of data, thus offering users the ability to rely on it both currently and in the future.
Moreover, Gateway X allows for the backup of IPFS data in Filecoin storage transactions, providing secure storage and facilitating easy retrieval. In contrast, Arweave data is stored permanently and offers encrypted proof of storage, thus enhancing the security and reliability of the stored data.
In addition, Gateway X leverages high-performing infrastructure, including the Meson Network, to offer top-quality IPFS/Arweave implementations. The platform's IPFS/Arweave HTTP gateway boasts a higher number of points of presence (POPs) and cache capacity than many other public gateways, further improving the overall performance and reliability of the service.
| GatewayX | Pinata | Web3.storage | Filebase | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Local Storage Support | yes | no | no | no |
| Exclusive Upload Gateway | yes | no | no | no |
| Total PoPs | 30K+ | 200+ | 200+ | 200+ |
| Total Files pinned | Unlimited | Limited | Limited | Limited |
| Requests | Unlimited | Limited | Limited | Limited |
| Dedicated Gateway Bandwidth | Unlimited | Limited | Limited | Limited |
| Replicated onto Filecoin | yes | no | yes | no |
| IPFS/Arweave Support | yes | no | no | no |
| File Cache | 1G | 512 MB | 512 MB | 512 MB |
Meson will synchronize the data uploaded by users to IPFS in Meson Cloud to Datacap.

ETH.Radio is a high-availability Ethereum Name Service (ENS) gateway. It represents a significant step towards the adoption of the decentralized web (dweb) by offering a new way to access ENS resolvable domains. Prior to the launch of ETH.Radio, services such as Cloudflare’s eth.link and the community-driven eth.limo were the primary means of bridging the gap between Web2 and Web3.
With ETH.Radio, users can access ENS domains through a reliable and decentralized gateway that provides an alternative to the centralized services offered by other providers. By leveraging the power of IPFS and ENS, ETH.Radio enables users to access content and services hosted on the dweb in a more resilient and censorship-resistant manner.
Overall, ETH.Radio is a significant development in the ongoing evolution of the dweb, and it offers users a powerful new tool for accessing the decentralized internet.
Web3 Website
Taking Staking Launchpad as an example, users can add an IPFS link to the ENS Content Hash of depositcontract.eth, which enables the depositcontract.eth domain name to directly redirect to the official website.

More impressively conquest.eth is accessible via the ETH.Radio gateway : https://conquest.eth.radio/
conquest.eth is an unstoppable and open-ended game of strategy and diplomacy running on ethereum.
Gateway X is a gateway for IPFS/Arweave that utilizes the Meson Cloud infrastructure.
https://dashboard.meson.network/labs/gatewayx
Click Gateway X, click on New Gateway to start creating a new one.
Select gateway type, choose IPFS、Arweave、mCDN, select the geographical location for the cloud, set tags, click create, and the creation process will be completed.
After waiting for 1-3 minutes, the Gateway will be created and completed.
Click Edit, click on Switch Default, change Default to Yes, and click Update to confirm.
Click Uploading, select Uploading + Local or Uploading + Cloud.
Open the client and use it to start uploading.

Name of Project: Meson Network
Proposal Category:
devtools-librariesProposer: bitruss
Do you agree to open source all work you do on behalf of this RFP and dual-license under MIT, APACHE2, or GPL licenses?: Yes
Project Description
Meson Network is committed to creating an efficient bandwidth marketplace on Web3, using a blockchain protocol model to replace the traditional labor-based sales models, consolidating and monetizing idle bandwidth from long-tail users at a low cost. Meson Network is the foundation of data transmission for decentralized storage, computation, and the emerging Web3 Dapp ecosystem.
Meson Network is committed to optimizing the speed at which the Filecoin/IPFS public gateway distributes reads. At present, the mainstream public gateways of Filecoin/IPFS are ipfs.io, cloudflare-ipfs.com, and dweb.link.
ipfs.io is the most frequently used gateway and the only node that can access files over 500MB, but its operating efficiency in global acceleration is not dominant. cloudflare-ipfs.com is relatively fast, but cannot speed up large files. dweb.link is currently the recommended gateway, but it has the same problem with ipfs.io that it is not as fast as one might expect. In view of this, Meson Network is committed to providing Filecoin/IPFS users with a secure, efficient, and usable decentralized gateway option with the help of decentralized nodes distributed around the world.
