Filecoin ⨎ is the largest decentralized data storage marketplace, protocol, & cryptocurrency. Follow the latest news & updates from the Filecoin ecosystem.
.@storachanetwork uses Filecoin to provide cryptographic proof that data is physically stored. Users do not need to trust the service itself. Proof of storage is embedded in the protocol, making data verifiable, persistent, and independently auditable.
Join us for daily sessions on key topics like storage adoption & governance—leading up to the in-person summit in Toronto, May 12–13. Join here: https://lu.ma/ry15g7r5?tk=YqBU2g
By the end of 2024, the Filecoin Virtual Machine (FVM) surpassed 4,700 unique contracts and facilitated over 3 million transactions. Developers are increasingly adopting smart contracts for use cases like decentralized storage, and compute over data.
.@akavenetwork is building a modular data layer that makes it easy to bring structured datasets on-chain. Powered by Filecoin, it provides S3 compatibility, strong encryption, and flexible durability, making it ideal for AI, DePIN, research workloads, and long-term data control.
@CIDgravity and Curio Storage are integrating to streamline how storage happens on Filecoin—making onboarding, deal-making, and scaling more seamless for both providers and clients. Here’s what this means for Filecoin 👇
The University of Utah is storing over 200TB of climate and earth system data using Filecoin. This infographic with @UUtah highlights how decentralized storage improves long-term access, preserves data integrity, and supports collaboration across research communities.
AI agents are changing everything—automating tasks, making decisions, and learning on their own. But to move beyond chatbots and into real utility, they need one thing above all:
Every file in @storachanetwork AI is content-addressed using cryptographic hashes. AI agents don’t ask “where” the data is, they ask “what” it is. One byte changes, the hash changes. No silent edits, no tampering. Just verifiable truth, enforced by math, not trust.
Proof of Data Possession (PDP) makes decentralized storage on Filecoin more efficient by allowing providers to verify data without full retrieval. It enhances security, reduces costs, and ensures reliable long-term data integrity.
The SETI Institute is storing over 60 GiBs of sensitive astronomical data with Filecoin, including a decoded extraterrestrial signal. This infographic featuring @SETIInstitute shows how decentralized storage helps protect research from outages, tampering, and censorship
.@KristinaLCorner from @Exponential_Sci explains why DeSci matters: when academic research is given freedom to explore and then connected to real industry needs, the result is knowledge that doesn’t stay locked in journals, but becomes usable and relevant. Watch the video👇
2,263 clients stored data on #Filecoin by Q4 2024 — up 10% from Q3.
751 clients onboarded large datasets over 1,000 TiB, reflecting rising enterprise demand. The Waffle Upgrade enabled this growth by improving efficiency and lowering entry barriers for storage providers.
Filecoin storage providers use PDP to prove they are maintaining data correctly without high computational costs. This makes verification more efficient, reduces network overhead, and strengthens the reliability of decentralized storage.
Filecoin saw a 10% increase in new storage deals in Q4 2024, reaching 3.1 PiB per day. Despite a 9% drop in total capacity, storage utilization grew to 32%, signaling a shift to higher-value, enterprise-grade storage.
.@RachelGreenHorn from @FilFoundation shares insights on AI’s growing need for decentralized storage. Filecoin provides a distributed, cost-effective infrastructure for handling large AI datasets.
.@tweetclarita from @FilFoundation highlights why people struggle to trust AI, it all starts with the data layer. Blockchain and the Filecoin ecosystem restore trust in data, providing a secure foundation for AI and beyond. Watch the video👇
