October 1, 2018 — RTrade Technologies Ltd. (“RTrade”) has announced the second beta release of TEMPORAL, an easy-to-use interface into distributed and decentralized storage technologies for personal and enterprise use.
The first beta of TEMPORAL, a data storage solution built on the disruptive IPFS protocol, was originally released this July. Since then, RTrade’s development team has made major improvements to the platform, including code cleanup and optimization. Most importantly, developers can now build open-source test environments on TEMPORAL.
Similar to Ethereum where developers can build decentralized apps on top of the Ethereum network, TEMPORAL now enables developers to build IPFS data storage solutions on its network, becoming one of the few companies to build a usable product on top of IPFS with real-world applications.
Earlier this week Juan Benet, one of the main brain childs and originators of IPFS, retweeted two of ours tweets about the new Beta Release we just had! We are extremely happy with all the work that has been done so far, and it's awesome to see a legend like Juan see some value in this project.
Updates
TEMPORAL is now in the second beta release which contains a significant number of under-the-hood enhancements, designed to deliver a better experience. Our web interface also has had significant upgrades, allowing for an increased number of utility functions, such as Key Management, and IPNS Record Publishing. For the privacy inclined, we now have experimental support for serving the website over the I2P anonymity network.
We are currently working on a payment system that will allow users to pay for TEMPORAL interaction on a per API call basis. We will allow users to purchase "Credits" that are used on TEMPORAL with a fixed value of $1 USD. Whenever you make API calls, we will deduct from this credit balance.
Credits for TEMPORAL may be purchased with the following CryptoCurrencies:
- RTC (eligible for a bonus/discount with purchase)
- ETH
- XMR
- DASH
- BTC
- LTC
If you want to experience the latest changes to the web interface, please access our Testing web interface. All versions of our website share the same backend, however they are running different website versions so we can test features properly before release.

About Rtrade
RTrade is attempting to change the way people use data and the Internet with TEMPORAL®, their native gateway into IPFS. The platform is attempting to make IPFS easier and more accessible for the public, using simple user-interfaces and user-friendly content addressing links. RTrade has a multi-million dollar facility based in Vancouver, BC that stores and backs up data on the IPFS network, meaning any file you host on IPFS will be safeguarded indefinitely.
About IPFS
IPFS (Interplanetary File System) is a versioned file system which can store files and track version changes over time, similar to Git. In addition to storing files, IPFS acts as a distributed file system, much like BitTorrent. IPFS has been coined the “new permanent web” due to the improved properties of file storage and transfer, which enhances the way we use existing internet protocols like HTTP.
