Filecoin is based on the powerful distributed network of IPFS. With the large number of applications of IPFS, Filecoin as the incentive layer of IPFS will also receive more and more attention.
It can be said that Filecoin is by far the largest crowdfunding project in the field of digital tokens, and its crowdfunding amount is even as high as $257 million. Although Filecoin itself cannot be used as an independent and complete project, it needs to be built on top of IPFS. IPFS is a distributed file network system. As the underlying protocol, it can be used for data transmission and storage in the network.
So who are the team and investors behind Filecoin?
As the development organization of Filecoin, Protocol labs was established in May 2014. The core team publicly stated that the Internet has become an important technology and application for mankind. The founder Juan Benet wants to lead the team to upgrade and optimize Internet technology, and is committed to working from three aspects: storage, positioning, and information transmission. The core team members of the protocol laboratory come from 13 countries.
Founder and CEO Juan Benet, a graduate student, graduated from the Computer Science Department of Stanford University, has two years of CTO experience, and founded Athena. The most experienced member of the team is its technical leader Matt Zumwalt, who has 14 years of Internet entrepreneurship experience.
At present, Filecoin has just been launched for less than three months, and some miners are a bit untenable. Often the big miners with foresight stay silent because they believe in the project and their choice.

The development of each project has a process, and it is not possible to achieve your expectations in a short time. Bitcoin has achieved such an achievement so far, and it has also come step by step. The road is bumpy and still moving forward. For Filecoin, it is the only one that can have applications, and its brilliance is unlimited. Filecoin is a potential new star, and the future development cannot be ignored!
