Filecoin

The Filecoin network now supports mutable, hot storage with provable availability. PDP doesn’t replace PoRep, it complements it. Use cold storage when you want redundancy. Use PDP when you need retrieval on demand, with proof it’s there, no sealing, no delays, just verification.

With @FilecoinCDN, developers can store with Filecoin and serve data instantly without managing retrieval infrastructure themselves. It’s built for PDP data, supports real user traffic, and helps Storage Providers handle delivery without high egress or latency tradeoffs.

.@MarlinProtocol and @LighthouseWeb3 Web3 are using Filecoin as the foundation for something much bigger. Their setup processes computations securely off-chain while guaranteeing data stays available forever, giving developers real alternatives to centralized infrastructure.

.@NuklaiData is building a shared metadata and dataset layer for AI training, using @LighthouseWeb3 and Filecoin. This work really helps cross-domain knowledge systems grow and propels ethical AI model development forward.

Filecoin helps protect medical research that saves lives. The Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute (@VictorChangInst) uses it to store datasets from published studies, so the data stays untouched and easy to share using cryptographic proofs and content-based retrieval.

Most dApps still rely on cloud services for compute. @fluence_project flips that model by running workloads on decentralized infrastructure, coordinating across peers, and storing results on Filecoin. IPC subnets allow custom runtimes and fast finality. Explore the infographic👇

Developers are starting to use Filecoin for more than just storage, they’re building apps that need to serve data quickly. With @FilecoinCDN, Storage Providers can deliver unsealed data fast without getting buried in bandwidth costs.

.@LighthouseWeb3 expanded its reach in May with new Filecoin integrations on @Cardano via @blockfrost_io and full deployment on @base. Users can now store data using USDC or USDT, with built-in encryption and access control across both chains.

ETHGlobal Prague 2025 showed what builders can do with programmable, verifiable storage. 21 teams joined the Fair Data Economy track, using @akavenetwork O3 APIs and Filecoin-backed infrastructure to build real tools for AI integrity, transparent games, and data labeling.

With tens of petabytes generated annually, the @ATLASexperiment has integrated Filecoin-backed storage to provide faster, reliable access to archived physics data. Decentralized infrastructure now feeds these datasets directly into CERN’s compute pipelines, bypassing tape delays.

.@CheckerNetwork runs over 10 million checks per day to measure uptime, latency, retrievability, and more. Originally built around Filecoin, it now helps power decentralized reputation for DePIN and Web3 networks. A new visual summarizes how it works.

#Filecoin is entering a new era — where demand takes the spotlight.

While DePIN networks have mastered bootstrapping supply, the next challenge is driving real adoption. And Filecoin is already making that shift. 🧵

Since the nv25 upgrade and activation of FIP-100, more Storage Providers have adopted aggregation. This leads to lower per-sector gas costs, higher efficiency, and a more stable base fee across the network. The shift benefits both providers and users.

Most AI systems today are closed and rely on siloed data. Filecoin and @TheoriqAI are taking a different path, training AI Agents on public Filecoin data to build modular, transparent systems focused on shared insight, open research, and human-scale use.

Filecoin offers cheap, decentralized storage, but accessing it from Ethereum has been difficult. @GlitterProtocol changes that with CCIP Read integration, allowing developers to combine @ethereum's execution with Filecoin's scalability for real-world applications.

Where is decentralized infrastructure going? On June 5 at 10 AM EDT, Filecoin, @ionet, @eigenlayer, @Titannet_dao, and @_DSAlliance will discuss what’s changing across DePIN and DeStore. A live X Spaces focused on applications and modular architecture.

This infographic explains USDFC, an overcollateralized stablecoin backed by FIL and issued on the Filecoin Virtual Machine. @USDFC_Protocol is designed by @Secured_Fi to track the value of USD through protocol-based collateralization, without relying on centralized backing.

A new integration connects @avax C-Chain to Filecoin through the FVM. Smart contracts can push data to Filecoin, where it's stored with a CID and verified. Once proof is ready, it’s sent back to Avalanche, giving developers a simple way to track and confirm storage.

The @internetarchive used Filecoin to preserve U.S. government web data through its End of Term Web Archive. Decentralized storage offers resilience where centralized hosting can’t.
