Filecoin ⨎ is the largest decentralized data storage marketplace, protocol, & cryptocurrency. Follow the latest news & updates from the Filecoin ecosystem.
AI models are often updated or removed without warning by centralized services. With CryptoModels, @CryptoEternalAI gives developers long-term access by storing files on Filecoin, where they can’t be arbitrarily modified or taken down.
The number of clients with more than 1 TiB of active data shows true engagement. This metric filters out noise and helps assess real adoption, using Lily BigQuery to identify which clients are sustaining long-term data on the network.
.@UngateAI Wukong’s architecture uses Filecoin for archival of AI-generated proofs. This allows that every agent action can be independently verified, months or even years later without relying on centralized databases or opaque logging systems
In case you missed it: Back in March, @FilFoundation shared an in-depth article on how decentralized storage can help AI agents work more transparently, act independently, and stay reliable over time. Several projects using Filecoin are already moving in this direction.
Execution and storage don’t need to live on the same chain. Avalanche (@avax) handles fast transactions and logic. Filecoin stores data that needs to be retained, proven, and retrieved later. This division of labor provides more scalable application design.
.@FilecoinCDN provides fast retrieval for PDP deals on the Filecoin Calibration testnet. Developers can build dApps that retrieve data instantly using a single URL, with no GPU requirements or unsealing delays, and full programmability via FEVM smart contracts.
.@solana's full ledger, including transaction history and state data is stored on Filecoin. Developers can read specific parts of the data, check that it hasn’t been changed, and store it without relying on centralized services. Explore the infographic👇
Filecoin’s role in @solana's infrastructure goes beyond storage. It creates a persistent, decentralized record of the entire chain, accessible to dapps, RPC providers, and researchers through CID-based systems that provides reliable retrieval, indexing, and long-term access.
With Filecoin and IPFS, Portrait (@withportrait) stores user uploads in decentralized storage, not on a central server. Each action, like uploading or delegating, is cryptographically signed, and desktop apps run through localhost, not the cloud. Explore the infographic👇
.@flickrfdn uploaded the most-viewed images from Flickr Commons to Filecoin. These photographs, from NASA, the Library of Congress, and others are part of a global effort to keep cultural photography accessible across generations.
New on the blog: Web2 companies are using Filecoin to store large archives. Web3 apps depend on it for object storage. @solana and @ethereum L2s are adding more on-chain data. Adoption is increasing where reliable, scalable storage is needed.
By using Filecoin and @IPFS, Portrait (@withportrait) sites aren’t bound to uptime from a single host. As long as someone in the network wants the data, it can be retrieved, from any node storing it, or from Filecoin’s archival layer.
Machine learning pipelines depend on fast, reliable access to training data. With PDP, AI models and datasets stored on Filecoin remain verifiable, accessible, and ready for fine-tuning or inference, there is no need to wait for retrieval or risk data corruption
Before F3, Filecoin finality could take up to 7 hours, limiting its usefulness in dynamic environments. Now, confirmation in minutes makes the network more viable for L2 rollups, subnets, and IPC-based systems that demand fast state transitions.
AI Agents using @storachanetwork with elizaOS can now collaborate without direct APIs. One agent uploads data to Filecoin and shares a CID. Another agent retrieves it independently, enabling agent-to-agent workflows built on shared memory and open infrastructure.
Startups on Avalanche (@avax) don’t need to store everything on-chain. They can move archival or rarely accessed data to Filecoin, where it’s stored immutably and verified with cryptographic proofs, and reduces costs without affecting app performance or availability.
AI agents are producing terabytes of output, context, logs, models, conversations. @storachanetwork gives them a reliable way to store it all on Filecoin. Each upload generates a cryptographic receipt, so agents can remember, verify, and share information without central control.
Journalists rely on access to source material. @documentcloud integration with Filecoin and @IPFS keeps government records, legal filings, and investigative materials online, even when publishers are targeted or taken offline.
Over 500,000 digital artifacts are preserved on Filecoin by leading institutions. This includes Alexander Graham Bell’s experimental recordings, MIT's OCW content, and @Flickr's archival photos, each stored with verifiable integrity.
