Additional Information about Filecoin (FIL)

What is Filecoin (FIL)?

Filecoin is a decentralized network for storing and retrieving data. The network consists of independent storage providers that make storage space available to users and applications.

Users can make agreements with storage providers to store files for a certain period of time. Filecoin uses economic rewards and cryptographic proofs to verify that providers are actually storing the agreed data.

Filecoin is closely connected to IPFS. IPFS uses content addressing, where files are found based on their content rather than only through a location on a server. Filecoin adds financial incentives and verifiable storage to this, so that users can pay providers to keep this data available for longer periods of time.

The network is used for archives, datasets, application data and other forms of digital storage, among other things. Developers can also build smart contracts and other applications on top of Filecoin.

How does Filecoin (FIL) work?

Filecoin connects users who want to store data with independent storage providers. Users and providers agree, among other things, which data is stored, for how long this happens and how much is paid for it.

Storage providers divide data across so-called sectors. When data is added, a provider supplies cryptographic proofs that allow the network to verify that the data has actually been stored. Proof-of-Replication, or PoRep, proves that a unique copy of the data has been stored. After that, Filecoin uses Proof-of-Spacetime, or PoSt, to regularly verify that the provider continues to store the data during the agreed period.

The Filecoin-blockchain keeps track of transactions, storage agreements, providers and proofs, among other things. The chain uses Expected Consensus. In this system, the chance that a storage provider may propose a block depends on the amount of storage power it contributes to the network.

A selected provider must deliver a Winning Proof-of-Spacetime, or WinningPoSt, before it can produce a block. Providers with more valid storage power therefore have a greater chance of producing blocks and receiving FIL rewards.

FIL is the native token of Filecoin. The token is used to pay storage providers, pay transaction fees and lock up collateral. Storage providers must stake FIL as collateral and can lose part of it if they do not meet their storage obligations.

Filecoin has a maximum token supply of 2,000,000,000 FIL. Not all tokens are issued immediately: a large portion is minted gradually based on time and the growth of the network. In addition, FIL tokens are permanently removed from circulation through, among other things, transaction fees and certain penalties.

Developers can build smart contracts via the Filecoin Virtual Machine, or FVM. This can be used, for example, to automate storage payments, DeFi applications and other services on top of Filecoin.

Who are the founders of Filecoin?

Filecoin was conceived by Juan Benet, the founder of Protocol Labs.

Benet studied computer science at Stanford University and founded Protocol Labs to develop new technology for a decentralized internet. From Protocol Labs, he developed IPFS and Filecoin, among other things.

The original Filecoin concept was published in 2014. Filecoin was developed as an economic incentive system for decentralized storage, allowing users to pay independent providers to store data reliably.

After several years of research and development, the Filecoin mainnet went live on 15 October 2020.
