Could you build this?

No Writing a performant, self-hosted, distributed/single-node S3-compatible storage engine in Rust with verifiable cryptographic integrity, versioning, and retention controls requires deep systems programming expertise.

What it would actually take: Building an S3-compatible object store requires implementing the full S3 HTTP/XML API specification, custom low-level storage engines (e.g., append-only logs or LSM trees), content-addressable storage hashing, chunking, and strict POSIX filesystem semantics. The architecture typically uses Rust with Tokio, Axum/Hyper, RocksDB/custom indexing, and rigorous fuzz testing for corruption prevention and concurrency safety.
