Upspin Shutting Down: Community Too Small to Sustain
2025-02-15
Upspin, a distributed storage system designed to foster data sharing, is shutting down its central infrastructure—the keyserver—on May 6th due to insufficient community engagement. While Upspin offered strong end-to-end encryption and ease of use, along with a backlog of valuable improvements, the maintenance effort outweighs the current community size. The developers thank all contributors and leave the door open for future possibilities.
