Estimated reading time: 2–4 minutes

On July 25, 2025, the Department of Justice Antitrust Division published a notice in the Federal Register about changes in the Decentralized Storage Alliance Association (DSAA).

The notice states that on May 27, 2025, DSAA filed written notifications with both the Attorney General and the Federal Trade Commission. This action was done under the National Cooperative Research and Production Act of 1993, 15 U.S.C. 4301 et seq.

The filing’s purpose is to extend legal protections. It limits the damages that antitrust plaintiffs can recover to actual damages under specific conditions.

MetaProof Inc., based in New York, NY, has been added as a party to the DSAA venture.

No other changes have been made to the membership or the group’s planned activities. Membership in the research project is still open. DSAA plans to keep the Department updated about future changes in membership.

DSAA originally filed notification under the Act on August 1, 2023. The Department published information about this in the Federal Register on October 6, 2023 (88 FR 69670).

The previous update was filed on December 9, 2024. That notice was published on February 3, 2025 (90 FR 8816).

This notice was issued by Suzanne Morris, Deputy Director, Civil Enforcement Operations, Antitrust Division.
