View ChartFilecoin is an open-source software that was created by Protocol Labs, the same firm that created technologies like IPFS and Libp2p aimed at replacing existing internet protocols.
For example, IPFS is a system that could replace the Web’s hypertext protocol, which specifies that web addresses must begin with the prefix http://.
Protocol Labs was founded by Juan Benet, who co-founded a game developer called Loki Studios while studying computer science at Stanford. The company was acquired by Yahoo in 2013. Benet then participated in the Y Combinator startup accelerator to start Protocol Labs.
Protocol Labs has received funding from notable investors like Digital Currency Group, Stanford University’s startup accelerator StartX, Coinbase co-founder Fred Erhsam and AngelList founder Naval Ravikant.
Filecoin’s initial coin offering, which ran from August to September 2017, further raised $257 million from a cast of noted venture capital firms like Sequoia Capital, Andreessen Horowitz and Union Square Ventures. The Filecoin offering was the largest of its kind at the time.
It is similar to Dropbox, but powered by blockchain technology. Users who want to store data on the Filecoin network must pay a miner to do so.
The price is determined by an open market, where miners compete with one another to offer the cheapest storage prices. Filecoin claims that this market will be ‘hypercompetitive’ and therefore cheaper than centralised data storage, such as Amazon Web Services.
In turn, miners have an incentive to provide storage because they stand to receive rewards from the network in the form of Filecoin tokens. The more storage they offer, the greater their chances of receiving a reward.
However, these rewards do not come without cost. Miners must perform several computationally intensive processes (called proofs) to demonstrate to the network that they are reliably storing the claimed data over a period of time.
If they can demonstrate this reliability and provide sufficient storage, they can create new blocks on the Filecoin blockchain and receive both the network reward and transaction fees.
In general, Filecoin miners are users who provide storage. This means that any user can connect a hard disk, run the Filecoin software and begin offering disk space in the Storage Market. These miners are known as storage miners.
However, there is another category of Filecoin miner: Retrieval Miners and Services.
Retrieval miners and services are paid by users to retrieve data and perform services that speed up transmission, such as caching or participating in a content delivery network as a node.
