Tusky (@TuskyTools) — Twitter Score 22 out of 1000

Tusky is a decentralized encrypted file-storage platform that announced a planned shutdown in December 2025 after failing to reach profitability and secure further funding within its required timeframe. Tusky's Twitter Score is 22 out of 1000 as of September 2026, ranking #44,370 (top 10%) among 486,037 tracked accounts.

Tusky was formerly named Akord and originally built on Arweave, where it reported uploading over 2 million files, onboarding 14,000 users, and committing 7 million transactions before sunsetting that infrastructure on September 26, 2024. It subsequently migrated its app, protocol, API, SDK, and CLI to Walrus Protocol, which uses Sui for coordination. The platform was co-founded by Pascal Barry and Richard Caetano.

Tusky offered decentralized storage, end-to-end encryption, file management, private sharing through magic links, and developer tooling including an API, SDK, CLI, and CDN. In August 2022, Akord raised a $2.3 million funding round backed by Maven 11 Capital, D1 Ventures, SevenX Ventures, and Arweave. Tusky did not issue a project-specific token; WAL belongs to the separate Walrus network.

Tusky announced its shutdown on December 19, 2025, stopping billing immediately and scheduling its app, API, SDK, and public-aggregator operations to end after January 19, 2026, while exploring possible acquisition opportunities. At the time of that announcement, the platform reported 77.4 TB of raw data uploaded, 45.7 million files actively managed on Walrus, and 3.7 million files uploaded by 47,000 distinct uploading accounts in the preceding 30 days. Tusky has published 1,975 posts on the platform and has been mentioned by 30 accounts a total of 52 times.
