In the field of blockchain, Filecoin is a rare long-term project. It took three years from the establishment of the project to the launch of the project. If it were in other blockchains, the community would have turned upside down. Now the mainnet has been launched. Everyone will realize the transfer to Filecoin mining revenue.
Filecoin has gained a high degree of promotion and exposure. Last year, it even set off a crazy "gold rush". As the incentive layer of IPFS, Filecoin can provide low-cost storage space. The storage mining system and economic model have gradually become more popular. Yu stable.
The demand side is widely used, and many projects are currently preparing to use Filecoin as a distributed storage to provide on-chain storage space, and traditional industries can also achieve rapid integration.
Two months after the launch of Filecoin on the mainnet, although the overall mining system still has problems such as excessive gas fees, the overall system has begun to stabilize. In 2021, the official will pay more attention to the development of the overall ecological project.
In the Filecoin ecosystem, nodes, vendors, and storage customers are the three core roles. There are currently more than 100 applications and core tools in Filecoin, and the storage capacity of the network has reached 1.861 EiB.
Now that Filecoin's application ecosystem has begun to scale, what are the advantages of using Filecoin to build applications?
1. Data storage is safer and more convenient
Data in a decentralized network is more secure and difficult to be stolen and copied. The storage method of distributed data reduces the damage caused by wars, disasters and other unpredictable reasons, allowing data to be stored more permanently in the Filecoin network.
2. Effectively support the application of the blockchain field
Before the birth of Filecoin, blockchain applications could not be developed on a large scale. One of the bottleneck technologies that limited application development was that traditional blockchain technology could not store large amounts of data. Reviewing all the current projects in the blockchain field can achieve a real landing. Only Filecoin, the birth of Filecoin has truly solved the problem of data storage.
So it is foreseeable that with the birth and development of Filecoin, decentralized applications based on blockchain technology will explode in the future, and these programs based on Filecoin will also feed back the value of Filecoin and become more and more indispensable.
3. Reduce storage costs and bandwidth costs.
All commercial implementations require cost-based considerations. Only with real cost advantages can a certain technology or business model develop successfully.
Traditional centralized data storage relies on a large number of IDC computer rooms, storage resources and bandwidth resources are very expensive, and as the number of users increases, the cost will increase exponentially.
Full storage power

Using IPFS/Filecoin distributed technology storage technology, through verification, it can effectively save 60% of bandwidth, which means that it can increase the amount of data storage by 60%, improve resource utilization, and reduce usage costs.
Compared with traditional storage technology, the cost advantage of distributed storage conforms to business laws and also represents the future development trend of data storage technology. Based on the current market, although it has given investors a big impact, the future technology On the day of landing, its true value will be greatly manifested!
