What is Filecoin?
Filecoin is a decentralized storage network that distributes data across a global network secured by cryptographic proofs, ensuring greater security and resilience. With 1.95 EiB of network storage capacity and over 5,000 smart contracts deployed via the Filecoin Virtual Machine (FVM), Filecoin serves builders, storage providers, and data clients alike. Filecoin adds incentivized, persistent storage to the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS), a peer-to-peer network for content-addressable data. People pay to store data, and storage providers earn by fulfilling those deals. From cultural archives to scientific research, petabytes of data are already stored on Filecoin.
