Hivello + Neova: a Strategic Partnership to Advance Decentralized Infrastructure

LONDON and AMSTERDAM, Feb. 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hivello, the all-in-one decentralized infrastructure manager, and Neova, a leader in decentralized data storage protocols, are excited to announce a strategic partnership to accelerate the adoption and innovation of decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN).

Hivello and Neova are coming together to explore how their unique strengths can advance decentralized infrastructure and expand the adoption of Web3 technologies. Hivello simplifies running decentralized nodes by aggregating and managing them across multiple protocols, making it easy for non-technical users to contribute to DePIN networks. Neova, on the other hand, is a decentralized storage protocol built on IPFS, offering secure and privacy-first data storage & management through a network of peer-to-peer and master nodes.

Hivello and Neova are exploring several areas of collaboration. These include the possibility of Hivello becoming a node distributor for Neova’s decentralized storage network, as well as integrating Neova’s protocol into Hivello’s platform to enhance user accessibility. Hivello also plans to test Neova’s nodes on its testnet in preparation for the mainnet launch. Additionally, both companies collaborate on co-marketing efforts to promote decentralized infrastructure solutions.

“Neova is pioneering decentralized storage solutions that align with our mission to simplify decentralized infrastructure for everyone,” said Domenic Carosa, Co-Founder & Chairman of Hivello. “Together, we can bridge the gap between innovative protocols and everyday users, opening up new opportunities for collaboration, scalability, and growth in the Web3 space.”

Quentin Clement, CEO of Neova, added: “Hivello’s user-centric approach to decentralized node management is the kind of innovation needed to grow the DePIN ecosystem. This partnership allows us to explore new ways to expand our decentralized storage network while bringing greater accessibility and efficiency to our users. The possibilities here are exciting.”
