CalibrationNet Upgrade to Network v25 (Teep 🦵) Launches Tomorrow
At 23:00 UTC on March 26, Filecoin's CalibrationNet will upgrade to Network Version 25 (Teep 🦵). This upgrade brings key improvements to network performance and reliability, including a simplified termination fee model for storage providers, enhanced Ethereum compatibility through transient storage in FEVM, and activation of F3 to accelerate transaction finality.
Introducing FIL ProPGF: A New Chapter in Public Goods Funding
With the launch of ProPGF, the Filecoin ecosystem is entering a new era of community-led innovation. ProPGF is a prototype on-chain funding program designed to support critical public goods. Building on the momentum of RetroPGF, ProPGF introduces an active approach to funding new and existing projects through community governance, on-chain transparency, and incentivized participation. Applications will begin the week of March 31, with funding decisions slated for early May. If you are building tools, advancing research, or improving user experience in the ecosystem, now is your moment.
Filecoin Q4 2024 Status: Key Highlights
Last week, Messari released the (Filecoin Q4 2024 Status Report), reviewing the growth, statistics, highlights, and more of the Filecoin network in Q4 2024. The network maintains strong momentum in high-value storage and ecosystem growth as 2024 concludes. Despite a drop in total capacity, daily storage transaction volume increased 10% to 3.1 PiB, indicating continued adoption by enterprises. Storage utilization rose to 32%, reflecting higher network utilization. In terms of smart contracts, the Filecoin Virtual Machine (FVM) witnessed over 4,700 unique contracts and over 3 million transactions. Filecoin has also expanded its Layer-2 ecosystem through projects like Basin, Akave, and Storacha, driving advancements in scalability, AI integration, and decentralized data coordination.
🌎 Community Update 🌎
Introduction to Storacha AI
The future of AI lies in autonomy, collaboration, and verifiability, which centralized systems cannot keep up with. Enter Storacha AI: the first AI-native decentralized storage layer built on Filecoin, designed to support autonomous AI agents through permissionless data access, cryptographic integrity, and full data self-sovereignty. By leveraging Filecoin's verifiable, tamper-proof storage network, Storacha enables agents to independently store, share, and verify data—unlocking complex multi-agent workflows, such as autonomous research teams and cross-organizational AI collaboration. The alpha version is now live, inviting AI builders to explore possibilities and join the Storacha AI Alpha.
Co-Building: The Power of Collaboration in the Filecoin Ecosystem
As the Filecoin ecosystem matures, a key element of the next phase is not just technology, but the coordination of the ecosystem. Over the past year, we have seen teams come together to build stronger, better solutions for customers. A key example is the collaboration between CIDgravity and Lighthouse, which combines their strengths to make Filecoin more seamless and accessible. Their integration enhances performance and usability, debunking misconceptions about network capabilities and setting a standard for collaboration across the ecosystem. This collaboration is key to achieving Filecoin's mission: reliable, decentralized, large-scale storage.
Ungate Integrates Filecoin for Verifiable, Scalable AI
The Ungate platform is redefining how autonomous AI agents operate - ensuring transparency, accountability, and trust through cryptographic proof. Now, with Filecoin's integration, Wukong gains tamper-proof, decentralized storage for agent execution logs and cryptographic proofs, enhancing long-term security, scalability, and reliability. Proofs are initially stored on EigenDA for quick retrieval and then archived on Filecoin via Lighthouse, enabling seamless verification and compliance over time. This collaboration strengthens both ecosystems and advances the mission of building trustless, scalable AI infrastructure.
Connecting with the Filecoin Communities in China and South Korea

FIL Toronto Developer Summit Update: Introduction to the Virtual Kickoff Meeting from April 23 to 30
Why Choose Virtual Meetings?
More Collaboration, Less Listening - By holding most presentations virtually, we free up more face-to-face time for in-depth discussions, real-time problem-solving, and decision-making.
Get Ahead of the Curve - Tracks will cover important updates and ecosystem progress so we can all get to work in Toronto.
More Voices, More Participation - Virtual formats allow submitters who cannot attend in person to provide wider access and input.
The meeting will cover:
April 23 - Filecoin Alliance Status: Navigating Growth and Market Changes
April 24 - Storage Adoption: Winning Customers, Expanding Demand, and On-Site Lessons Learned
April 25 - On-Chain Tech Stack: Unlocking Filecoin's Smart Data Economy
April 28 - Tools and Builders: Driving Innovation in the Filecoin Ecosystem
