The Filecoin project has made great progress in the past two months.
Testnet highlights
- The effective storage of the testnet exceeds 5PB
And growing at a rate of 50TB per day! This shows that the Filecoin main network can be started with hundreds of petabytes of storage capacity, which is undoubtedly very exciting.
- Lotus, go-filecoin system to achieve interoperability
This is a milestone development node and a big step towards Filecoin mainnet.
- Complete the first round of internal audit
To ensure that the main network startup structure is safe and economically reasonable.
- Optimize PoRep
Significantly reduce circuit constraints, thereby reducing computing pressure, and miners can complete calculations faster.
- Improved performance in chain synchronization, memory allocation, and information retrieval
In addition, there are offline data transmission, modularity, and scalable storage mining architecture to protect the interests of all miners.
Next plan
- It is recommended not to buy hardware on a large scale
The official team will optimize and improve the copy certification of the main network, and the current certification mechanism has not yet been determined.
- On the main network and test online time
After considering the stability and security of the network, the Filecoin official team chose to launch the second stage of the testnet in the week of May 11th, and the main network launch window from July 20th to August 21st, taking into account the opinions of miners.
- Testnet Phase II provides over 1 million FIL rewards
The team will release more information about rewards in May so that miners have enough time to prepare.
The ecosystem is better
Textile Powergate, Storage Devs Show & Tell access make Filecoin data available on the IPFS network easier.
The winners of Filecoin Tips Explorer and Filecoin DevGrants Wave 2 announced that it also makes the Filecoin ecosystem richer and more advanced.
Obtained about 50 suggestions for functional testing of large miners to help Filecoin improve network performance!
Internet giants have entered
- Filecoin official developers build the necessary tools and services on the Filecoin network;
- Gemini Exchange announced on its blog that it will support the custody of Filecoin;
- The cooperation between IPFS and Netflix has brought new improvements to IPFS Bitswap;
- Opera for Android has also begun to support IPFS;
The Internet giants who first saw the unlimited value of IPFS and Filecoin have entered the game one after another. There are more and more voices supporting IPFS and Filecoin, and Filecoin's community and ecology are becoming more dynamic and perfect.
It is very difficult to build a complete operation network, which requires a lot of manpower and time. It is not too much to compare the construction of the Filecoin network to the manufacture of rockets. Both require top-level science and technology and sufficient financial support. , And must ensure that every step in the construction process is very rigorous, so that the network can operate healthily, safely and steadily.
Filecoin's official team is working hard to build the main network. I believe that when Filecoin comes out, it will certainly live up to expectations, making human information storage safer, more convenient, and cheaper. The value of IPFS and Filecoin is self-evident. Let us seize the opportunity to enter the Filecoin head mine dividend. This may be the most worthwhile investment opportunity in recent years.
