The era of blockchain 1.0 is the creation process of blockchain from 0 to 1. Including the birth of blockchain technology and the birth of digital currency that has been given currency functions, it has solved the two major issues of trust and security, and for the first time enables value to circulate directly on the Internet.
Blockchain was produced with Bitcoin, and Bitcoin has made the technology of block chain the most substantial application. 10 years later, Bitcoin is still the market capitalization leader.
Ethereum introduced smart contracts into the blockchain, opening up the application of the blockchain beyond the currency field, thus opening the blockchain 2.0 era. Blockchain 2.0 is a more macroscopic decentralization of the entire market. It uses blockchain technology to convert many different assets instead of just Bitcoin, and creates the value of different asset units through transfer.
Among the current top 300 blockchain projects by market value, more than 80% are built on the Ethereum platform, and their applications cover the underlying technology, financial and non-financial fields, and a total of 42 sub-sectors. The status of Ethereum is self-evident.
Blockchain 3.0 will go beyond the financial field, and propose decentralized solutions for all walks of life, and strive to realize a "programmable business economy", that is, to confirm the property rights of every information and byte representing value in the Internet through the blockchain , Measurement and storage, so that assets can be tracked, controlled and traded on the blockchain.
IPFS&Filecoin, as the first super application of Blockchain 3.0, has been recognized by the world.
Filecoin roadmap
According to official sources, although we are happy to give Filecoin miners (and development team) more time to fully prepare for this competition, we cannot shorten the time between the Filecoin big miner test and the Filecoin mainnet launch. This is the key window for Filecoin big miners to perform critical bug fixes, set running time, and determine final parameter optimization after testing. Therefore, we have updated the mainnet launch window from August 31 to September 21 to reflect this additional calibration period.
As always, we update the Gantt chart of the public project roadmap based on the community’s request to reflect the timing of the latest milestones to come. Please remember that these dates are still best-effort optimistic estimates based on the latest information. They are not promises. A conservative estimate or any form of guarantee. If there is a security breach or other problem, we will ensure that we take the necessary time and fully resolve the problem before the mainnet launch. We sincerely hope that everything goes smoothly, but this is an essential part of our commitment to launch a secure blockchain network. As always, we are happy to build a great Filecoin network with you.
What are the reasons for Filecoin's popularity?
1. Filecoin is the project with the shortest time-consuming IPO and the largest amount in the history of blockchain, and it is favored by investment giants like Sequoia Capital.
2. On the allocation mechanism, 70% of the tokens are reserved for allocation through the incentive mechanism. Unlike other projects, some small domestic projects often only allocate 30% of the shares and 70% remain on the project side. I believe that investors who have experienced ups and downs will understand the mystery. This 70% is very precious.
3. Storage is income. Filecoin is different from BTC's proof of work. At the beginning of 2019, the country has made it clear that it does not support the BTC incentive mechanism, because the work of BTC has proven to consume huge power resources and generate a lot of noise pollution and thermal energy pollution. Filecoin only needs to provide storage space and broadband to meet the needs of the incentive mechanism. In this sense, Filecoin fundamentally improves the efficiency of human beings. It is a real sharing economy and has a huge boost to the use of storage resources!
4. Filecoin's unique mortgage mechanism is the biggest difference from BTC, ETH and other incentive mechanism projects. While Filecoin storage gives fair treatment to the supply and demand parties who use storage space, the price is bound to rise sharply because of the shortage of supply in the mortgage market.
Fifth, Filecoin is built on the basis of a powerful IPFS. With the large-scale application of IPFS, Filecoin as the incentive layer of IPFS is bound to be more and more recognized, which will promote the price of Filecoin to rise further.
6. In the entire digital currency market, Filecoin is the only token with a real application landing, and its status cannot be shaken.
7. Filecoin is the only token with a revolutionary technological breakthrough since ETH. Throughout the advent of ETH, the goals of many currencies have been faster, safer, and more widely used. No currency can bring revolutionary technological innovation to blockchain technology. Filecoin is based on blockchain data. storage. The new blockchain, new breakthroughs, will get the best price and guarantee in the world.
8. Blockchain is an extension and application of cryptography, but the fatal weakness of blockchain is that the capacity to carry data is too small. With the advent of the 5G era, facing the rapidly growing market of data, IPFS&Filecoin has filled this shortcoming , Bring huge vitality and development to the blockchain.
9. Of course, as soon as the IPFS&Filecoin mainnet is launched, the popularity of Filecoin will reach its extreme, the Filecoin market will flood a large amount of funds, and the price of FIL will increase substantially. Therefore, if you miss BTC, don't miss the next outlet.
