What is Continuata?

Continuata is a modern digital distribution platform built for creators who need to deliver large files reliably. It runs on a global edge network for high-performance distribution with usage-based pricing from $50/month.

Usage-Based Pricing

$50/month minimum covers 2% of sales revenue plus $0.05/GB of bandwidth — pay for what you use.

Browser-Native

No installers for Chrome and Edge. Safari and Firefox supported via the free Bridge app.

Delta Updates

Users only download what's changed between versions, saving time and bandwidth.

How It Works

1

Content-Addressed Storage

Files are stored using their SHA-256 hash as the key. This enables automatic deduplication and ensures identical files are never stored twice.

2

Cryptographic Verification

Every file chunk includes SHA-256 integrity checks. The download client verifies each piece to ensure nothing was corrupted in transit.

3

Browser-Native Downloads

Downloads work directly in Chrome and Edge via the File System Access API. Safari and Firefox users get the same experience through the free Bridge app.

4

Global CDN Delivery

All content is delivered through a global edge network with intelligent caching and compression.
