On May 27, 2026, at 22:00 Beijing time, the Filecoin mainnet successfully completed the upgrade for epoch 6052800, officially activating network version 28, codenamed 'Fire Horse'. This upgrade is not just a routine technical iteration; it's a crucial step for Filecoin's evolution from a basic storage network to a programmable storage infrastructure, laying the groundwork for true on-chain closed-loop storage capabilities for Web3 applications.
On-chain verifiable storage status (key innovation)
• Pre-upgrade:
The renewal and troubleshooting of storage orders mostly rely on off-chain service monitoring and manual intervention, making it impossible to directly verify storage status on-chain.

In the Web2 world, centralized video conferencing tools like Zoom and Google Meet have become the standard for remote collaboration. However, they still face three major pain points: data privacy leaks, vendor lock-in, and cross-region latency. Huddle01, built on the Filecoin ecosystem, is trying to break the monopoly of centralized communication with a decentralized real-time communication (dRTC) network, creating a native audio and video infrastructure for the Web3 era.
1. What is Huddle01?
Huddle01 is the world's first decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) aimed at real-time communication. Its core focus is a decentralized real-time audio and video network, providing a real-time audio and video software development kit (SDK) for web and mobile. Its goal isn't just to replicate Zoom's features but to solve the underlying flaws of traditional communication tools with a decentralized architecture, becoming the 'real-time interaction layer' for Web3 applications.

In the world of AI agents, "forgetfulness" has always been the core bottleneck limiting its evolution. Traditional AI agents store conversational context, behavioral trajectories, and user preferences mostly in temporary sessions on centralized platforms. Once a session expires, the platform changes policies, or services are interrupted, the AI agent loses all memory, turning it into a tool where "every conversation feels like the first time." As AI agents start handling more complex tasks and longer-term interaction needs, this unreliable memory mechanism is becoming a fatal flaw in the evolution towards autonomy and personalization.

The Filecoin Network version V28 Fire Horse is a mandatory upgrade for the Filecoin mainnet, codenamed 'Fire Horse'. The core objectives are to enhance FEVM smart contract capabilities, optimize network fee mechanisms, and provide a more stable underlying support for ecosystem applications.
1. Core Upgrade Information
⚠️ Key Reminder: All Lotus nodes and Storage Providers (SP) must complete updates before the upgrade height, or the nodes will stop chain syncing, and SPs won't be able to participate in storage proofs, potentially facing hash power penalties.
2. Detailed Analysis of the Four Core FIP Proposals
All improvements in this upgrade revolve around four approved Filecoin Improvement Proposals (FIP), each directly impacting network performance and ecosystem experience:

When the skyline of Shanghai's Oriental Pearl meets a lobster wielding claws, the Filecoin ecosystem is quietly planting the seeds for a deep fusion of AI agents and decentralized storage. From May 10 to 17, 2026, the 7-day IPFS × OpenClaw Hackathon officially kicks off in Shanghai. As one of the core activities of the MuShanghai project, this challenge initiated by FIL Builders and supported by various ecosystem partners like Protocol Labs aims to "build self-sustaining systems". With a prize pool exceeding $2000, it invites global developers to create autonomous infrastructure that requires no human intervention.

📅 Basic Information
▣ Event Name: Loops House Shanghai Demo Day

As Autonomous Agents are seen as the key infrastructure for the next-gen internet, a core contradiction is increasingly surfacing: these digital systems, which strive for autonomy, openness, and no single points of failure, largely operate on centralized servers and storage architectures. This poses risks for data security, trustworthiness, and censorship resistance. The collaboration between the Filecoin ecosystem and Loops House in Shanghai is addressing this contradiction — enabling the underlying support for Autonomous Agents to be as decentralized as their operational logic.

On March 26, 2026, Filecoin Onchain Cloud (FOC) officially launched on the mainnet, marking a crucial step in Filecoin's transition from a 'decentralized storage network' to a 'programmable on-chain cloud infrastructure.' The ongoing M4.2 milestone (target completion by June 12, 2026, with 61% progress) indicates that this transformation is set to reach its final maturity soon.
A lot of folks are wondering, 'Isn't FOC already live?' The truth is, this reflects the typical phased evolution logic of Web3 projects — the launch of the basic version is just the starting point; the rollout of GA (the official commercial version) is the real key for Filecoin to fully embrace large-scale commercial use.

As the dataset scale for large models breaks through the TB level and moves towards PB, the cost traps of traditional centralized cloud storage are becoming an invisible barrier to AI development. While mainstream cloud services like AWS S3 seem cheap at first glance, the additional costs like egress fees and API request fees are skyrocketing, and the Fil One from the Filecoin ecosystem is introducing a disruptive pricing model to provide new solutions for large-scale data storage in the AI era.
What is Fil One (<a>https://fil.one/</a>)?
Fil One is an S3-compatible object storage service launched by the Filecoin ecosystem, specifically designed for large-scale data storage and retrieval scenarios in the AI era.

As Web3 dives into the deep waters of moving from 'on-chain bookkeeping' to 'on-chain value transfer', data security and privacy protection have become widely recognized as the two main bottlenecks in the industry. On May 2nd, Input Output Group (IOG) officially announced a deep collaboration with Filecoin, Cardano, and Midnight, integrating distributed storage, privacy protection, and multi-chain ecosystems for the first time, providing the industry with a complete 'data sovereignty' solution. This transformation, initiated by three major infrastructure players, is set to unfold on the main stage in Miami.

In the Web3 infrastructure space, a cross-chain collaboration is quietly reshaping the industry landscape. Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson recently stated that he completed an "exciting deep dive interview" with the Filecoin team, with related content set to drop soon. He praised Filecoin's ecosystem and team, emphasizing that both parties have been collaborating for years. This endorsement adds significant weight to the long-term partnership between Cardano and Filecoin, marking a new phase of deep integration between two leading projects in the industry.
1. Collaboration is No Coincidence: From Ideological Resonance to Technical Implementation

In the business world, a contract often goes through a lengthy process from signing to execution. Under traditional models, manual processing of invoices after signing takes an average of 14 days, with a single transaction costing up to 19.83 USD. The process is cumbersome, inefficient, and lacks a transparent, traceable audit trail. Nowadays, the new project Filosign launched by the Filecoin ecosystem is aiming to break this deadlock — it combines end-to-end encrypted e-signatures, Filecoin's decentralized storage, and smart contract automated settlements, bringing a revolution in the efficiency of handling business documents.

Filecoin ≠ computing power itself (it is not a pure GPU computing power network like Bittensor/Render)
But AI computing power 100% relies on Filecoin (storing datasets, storing models, storing logs, storing weights, performing data validation)
Now Filecoin is becoming 'storage with computing power' where storage nodes can stack GPUs; wherever the data is, the computing power is.
Let's clarify below: how to use it, why to use it, and where we are now.
1. How AI computing power uses Filecoin (4 core scenarios)
1. Massive training datasets: low cost, high reliability, verifiable cold / warm storage AI large model training easily reaching tens of TB to several PB of data:

In 2026, Filecoin's halving and the explosion of AI data source demand will resonate from three dimensions: token economy, storage demand, and ecological value, significantly benefiting the Filecoin network and FIL value.

Today, the Filecoin Foundation (FF) and the Government of Bermuda announced an initiative led by the Cabinet Office in collaboration with the Department of Digital Innovation, under the esteemed Judge Diallo V. Rabain, to upload publicly available Bermuda government data to the Filecoin network. By enhancing the resilience, transparency, and verifiability of key public information, this collaboration positions Bermuda at the forefront of digital public infrastructure, demonstrating how decentralized storage can protect public records for generations to come.
The initiative to upload government data to Filecoin is conducted in collaboration with the Internet Archive, as part of the Democracy Library project—this project is a free, open, and online collection of government documents, research, and publications. The Filecoin Foundation and the Internet Archive have previously collaborated to preserve a wide range of public datasets through the Democracy Library. To date, over one pebibyte has been stored on Filecoin—equivalent to millions of photos or hundreds of thousands of HD movies—government materials, including:
