Greenfinch, a decentralized storage solution that utilizes the Neo blockchain and NeoFS, will be known going forward as Cassette. The co-founders cite inspiration from the ethos of the cypherpunks, emphasizing privacy, anonymity, and security, which influenced decentralized technology like blockchain and distributed storage networks. The new brand reflects this spirit, building on the sharing of cassette-based mixtapes that predated digital music distribution networks. The Cassette team notes that while the rebranded application might have a similar design to the first version of Greenfinch, the underlying code has been entirely rewritten from the ground up. This change is intended to make Cassette easier to iterate and build on moving forward.
