Chia coin officially went live on March 19, but the coin didn’t start publicly trading on crypto exchanges until May 3. From a slow burn for the first few weeks, the amount of storage space required for the network (called netspace) ballooned from around 214PB to over 3.6EB—that’s exabytes, or 3,984,588.8 terabytes. I shudder to think about how much netspace will be allocated to chia by the time you read this, given the current rate of increase.
