View ChartFilecoin is a decentralised storage network that enables users to rent out their unused storage space. Similarly, anyone can purchase storage on the network. Rather than trusting one company with important data, it can be split up and stored on different computers around the world.
Filecoin was first introduced in 2014 when Juan Benet published the white paper: Filecoin: A Cryptocurrency-Operated File Storage Network. This proposal is a blockchain network similar to Bitcoin, but where nodes in the network can store data, which is guaranteed by a proof-of-retrievability component. Filecoin is developed by Protocol Labs.
Filecoin is sometimes referred to as an incentive layer on top of IPFS. This means that users are incentivised to rent out their storage space by being paid in FIL tokens. So, can you use Filecoin to send Christmas photos to Mars or Venus? Not yet. IPFS is a peer-to-peer data storage and retrieval protocol built using a decentralised approach. Unlike HTTP or HTTPS, it doesn’t rely on centralised servers to store data.
Filecoin’s infrastructure is a distributed, peer-to-peer network that provides a new way for organisations and individuals to store data worldwide. People with free storage can become storage miners, who are essentially responsible for storing data on the Filecoin network. Clients pay FIL tokens to both store and retrieve data.
Retrieval miners are another class of participants. As you might expect, they facilitate the process of retrieving data between clients and storage miners, and they also receive a small amount of FIL for their services. Filecoin uses end-to-end encryption, meaning storage providers don’t have access to the decryption keys. Since it’s a distributed system, files are kept safe across multiple storage locations.
So, what makes Filecoin potentially better than its centralised competitors? It offers businesses and consumers a peer-to-peer cloud storage solution. Since the same storage is offered by different sellers, potentially at different prices, consumers may benefit in the end. While you may sometimes not have enough storage for all your data, you may also sometimes have excess storage that you can sell. That’s the promise of Filecoin.
Over the past few decades, the way that we store and access data has changed. In business, this has changed from on-site storage, where companies have huge server rooms, to remote data storage warehouses and more diversified cloud storage across the entire world. Currently, most businesses use a combination of all of these. Similarly, consumer data storage has also changed with an increased reliance on cloud storage.
This brings up cloud storage market superpowers such as AWS, HPE, and Dell. Business customers usually pick one provider and stay with it for years, which hinders competition. Filecoin allows customers who want to purchase storage to navigate the best deals on the fly, no matter who the storage provider is. This can likely create a more competitive cloud storage market.
