A groundbreaking advancement has just been activated in the Cardano ecosystem – and this deserves the attention of every developer. Blockfrost, the powerful API platform for Cardano, has officially partnered with the Filecoin Foundation – the organization behind the largest decentralized storage network in the world. The goal? Redefine Cardano's data layer with higher security standards, deeper decentralization, and superior resilience.
🔄 Decentralization is no longer a theory – it is becoming a reality
The combination of Blockfrost and Filecoin is a testament to how blockchain can evolve beyond the application layer – touching the core infrastructure. Now, the data of Cardano applications is not only stored on IPFS but also backed up and protected by the power of Filecoin. The result is a storage layer capable of resisting system faults, maintaining accessibility, and ensuring data safety at an unprecedented level.
🛠️ More powerful tools – Better experience for developers
Thanks to integration with Lighthouse (the permanent storage platform based on Filecoin), Blockfrost now provides developers with the ability:
• Store application data encrypted, permanently, and reliably.
• Build dApps without worrying about backend infrastructure.
• Eliminate risks from centralized points of failure.
• Leverage powerful data retrieval capabilities combining IPFS + Filecoin.
Blockfrost CEO, Marek Mahut, asserts that this is the 'new standard for reliability on Cardano' – where innovation and security do not have to compromise each other.
🌉 A solid bridge between two leading L1 platforms
This partnership is also a positive signal for the entire industry: Cardano and Filecoin are demonstrating that collaboration between foundational blockchains will create more sustainable value for the Web3 ecosystem. This event not only upgrades Cardano but also promotes the long-term vision of a truly decentralized world – where developer tools are increasingly powerful, accessible, and reliable.
🔑 Permissioning is not just technology – it is the protection of builders
Filecoin not only helps distribute data – it protects those who are creating value on the blockchain. Data is no longer located in a vulnerable place. Instead, it is encrypted, replicated, and always available – giving developers peace of mind when building complex dApps or critical financial applications.

🔥 Cardano is no longer just a smart contract blockchain. It is becoming a true decentralized data platform, backed by the most advanced technologies. If you are a developer looking for sustainable infrastructure, now is the perfect time to build on Cardano – with Blockfrost and Filecoin accompanying you on every line of code.
