🔵 Storacha Builds Hot Storage Layer on Top of Filecoin
In an increasingly fast-paced world, storing data but having to wait for it to be unsealed first is like storing a racing motorbike in a warehouse. Storacha understands that very well. Therefore, they are now building a decentralized hot storage layer on top of the Filecoin network.
Not just a concept, this network can already be explored by contributors via CLI, technical documentation, and a Discord community that is very active. Although node onboarding has not been widely opened, many users have started tinkering with it.

🔸 Giving AI Agents Their Own Flash Drive on Filecoin
Not only that, Storacha also introduced something they call the MCP Storage Server. They want to provide decentralized memory for AI agents like Claude or ElizaOS. So, these agents can directly upload and retrieve data from IPFS and Filecoin without having to attach to a central server. It feels like having a personal flash drive on an open network, but one that can be used by smart robots.
Furthermore, this system is supported by Proof of Data Possession (PDP) technology which has just been active on the Filecoin mainnet since last May. This technology allows nodes to prove that data is available immediately—without the complicated unsealing process.
So, if you usually have to wait a long time like queuing to get a driver’s license, now you can just click and run it. Suitable for systems that require speed such as AI or Web3 games.
🔸 When Decentralized Storage Starts Doing Real-World Heavy Lifting
On the other hand, Storacha is not the only one adopting this fast and open storage capability. On May 29, Filecoin officially announced a collaboration with Bagel Labs.
