After the launch of the Filecoin mainnet, both ordinary investors who have been following Filecoin for a long time, or ordinary capital, are staring at Filecoin's every move and are ready to enter the market at any time. In fact, as early as its birth, Filecoin has attracted the attention of many people, and some people even say that "Filecoin is the digital currency project that is most likely to surpass Ethereum and Bitcoin among all current blockchain projects.", otherwise there would be no such thing. The first fundraising set a record feat for blockchain projects. V|jasonbody
Those who have been following the Filecoin project for a long time will surely remember the various actions during the space race, including the cooperation with Ethereum. Ethereum focuses on smart contracts. As long as the “contract” is involved, it can be carried out on the Ethereum platform to complete a decentralized trust consensus. But currently Ethereum is mainly used in the financial field, which is also one of the mainstreams that can carry blockchain digital currency.
Filecoin was born as an incentive layer for IPFS. It is also a storage network. It can also be said to be born in response to the needs of the Internet. It was born on the eve of the data explosion, creating a new era of Web3.0.
Recently, the Filecoin official team announced that it will cooperate with Ethereum, which will open a new chapter in the advancement of the Filecoin network.
The following is the original introduction of Filecoin's official announcement of the latest cooperation with ConsenSys, one of the leaders of Ethereum:
The future of the Internet requires the construction of a decentralized data and transaction infrastructure, and the interoperability between decentralized protocols (such as Ethereum, Filecoin and IPFS) can be well combined. PL is the organization leading the development of IPFS and Filecoin. This new collaboration integrates Filecoin's distributed data storage and retrieval market into ConsenSys' Ethereum product stack.
ConsenSys' complete product suite can provide services to millions of users and provide billions of blockchain queries for various software and technology customers. This is also one of the main reasons for the rise of the Ethereum ecosystem in 2015. For many years, ConsenSys has been leading the integrated IPFS distributed storage network to decentralize the financial and Ethereum ecosystem. In 2016, ConsenSys' Infura became the first product to provide an IPFS API, enabling anyone who builds applications on Ethereum to store data using the IPFS distributed protocol. Through this new collaboration, ConsenSys will help Filecoin embark on a similar growth and success trajectory.
In many ways, Ethereum and IPFS are complementary ecosystems for decentralized networks. Ethereum provides the guaranteed execution of protocols and decentralized transactions, while IPFS provides a distributed storage solution for data and information.
With the launch of the Filecoin mainnet, Ethereum developers can now access the new functional world to ensure that their data is stored securely in a decentralized and cost-effective manner. The cooperation between PL and ConsenSys aims to develop and introduce new tools required by developers and consumers to easily use Filecoin's next-generation blockchain and the market.
This is a particularly exciting moment in history. We have the opportunity to build a new technological infrastructure that can change the trust and power of the next-generation Web, placing data autonomy, decentralized verification, and tamper-proof data systems at the center of the Web and application development. Together, ConsenSys and Protocol Labs will help the world build a support layer for Web3.
