UHRP Storage
Welcome to the UHRP Storage onboarding! Here you’ll learn how to securely store and validate data on BSV Blockchain using the UHRP Storage app, following the UHRP protocol (specification).
What is UHRP?
UHRP (Universal HTTP Resource Protocol) is a protocol for decentralized, secure, and verifiable file storage on BSV Blockchain. It allows you to upload files, generate unique UHRP URLs for access, and ensure data integrity—making your files tamper-proof and always available.
Decentralized: Files are stored across multiple servers, not just one provider.
Verifiable: Every file has a unique UHRP URL, which proves its authenticity and integrity.
Compatible: Works seamlessly with BSV Desktop for payments and identity.
Getting Started with UHRP Storage
The UHRP Storage app is fully compatible with BSV Desktop. You can upload, download, and manage files using your wallet for secure payments.
When you access the app, you’ll see the main page:
Tip: Make sure BSV Desktop is running and connected for seamless integration.
Uploading a File
Go to the Upload section.
Select a storage server (default is fine for most users).
Choose how long you want your file stored.
Select your file (e.g.,
fileTest.txt).
The image below shows the upload process:
Payment Confirmation
After clicking Upload, BSV Desktop will prompt you to confirm the payment for storing your file.
UHRP URL: Your File’s Unique Link
Once payment is complete, you’ll receive a UHRP URL—a unique link to your file, proving its authenticity and allowing easy access.
What is a UHRP URL? It’s a special link that lets you download your file from any UHRP-compatible server, ensuring the file is exactly as you uploaded it.
Downloading a File
To download a file:
Go to the Download section.
Paste your UHRP URL from the previous step.
Click Download.
The image below shows how simple it is:
Listing Your Uploaded Files
You can view all files uploaded with your BSV Desktop profile:
Go to the Files section in the UHRP app.
Select the storage server you used.
Click Load Files.
Your uploaded files will appear, as shown below:
