With the continuous improvement and development of the mainnet, more and more organizations and individuals will begin to store their data on the Filecoin network in the future. The more customers, the more successful the network and the higher the storage revenue. V | czdn222
Filecoin fills the Internet infrastructure gap
Distributed storage is the future choice. In the Internet era, storage is the most important infrastructure. After all, as long as there is a correct understanding and choice of distributed infrastructure, the entire system can get rid of the risk of groups or a few people. Fortunately, with the continuous development of Filecoin, it began to gradually fill the gaps in distributed storage in the Internet field.
The purpose of Filecoin is to replace the existing HTTP protocol with a content-addressable peer-to-peer method to store and share hypermedia in a distributed file system. The traditional HTTP protocol uses an asymmetric architecture to achieve high network concurrency, but the central server can hardly bear too much data transmission, which affects the user experience. Cloud computing manufacturers and telecom operators need to pay more equipment costs for this.
Filecoin's economic model encourages design. It is essentially a web service 3.0, a commercial test for the storage industry. After encouragement, the establishment and management of the entire storage system is decentralized. The most important thing is that Filecoin has established a free market for the upstream and downstream of the entire storage product. Once the entire mechanism is operational, there will be no third-party centralized organization to intervene in the transaction between the supply and demand sides. This is the layout that truly completes the division of labor in the storage mechanism. V | czdn222
In other words, Filecoin applies all unused storage and stops encouraging organizations to build the weakest computing storage network to reduce storage costs. With the development of technologies such as the Internet and communications, artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, cloud computing/edge computing, everything can be recorded and expressed with data, and data has changed from a single external small data to multiple static big data.
The scale of the global data circle has skyrocketed, and unstructured data such as text, pictures, and videos will have a higher growth rate, and the proportion of the entire data circle will continue to increase. Therefore, a more advanced Internet infrastructure is required to collect, store, and apply data.
Filecoin distributed storage can greatly reduce the dependence on the central main network, further improve the security of Internet data, and invalidate offensive attacks. It can be seen that Filecoin, as the encouragement layer of IPFS, is actually seen as a direction to innovate the existing Internet in many aspects, although it has not received much attention today. In fact, since the beginning of last year, some public chains have used the IPFS protocol to build their own testnet. From the perspective of application, you can click on the link to read the content just like checking the webpage. The application is very convenient and the imagination space is extremely large.
And it is especially worth noting that Filecoin can be used in the blockchain field in the future. In the future, distributed will become the standard configuration in the blockchain category, and the forerunner is the distributed exchange Uniswap, which created a mechanism for the community to host the Uniswap interface to continue to promote decentralization and promote decentralization. This system allows the open source Uniswap interface built by the Uniswap team and the community to be automatically deployed to IPFS.
Uniswap has set a good precedent. In fact, not only CEX, but also many public chain data and even private keys in the future, choose Filecoin as the disaster recovery backup infrastructure. Some UGC/PGC content public chains are also planning how to use Filecoin for mutual benefit. A win-win situation. As a distributed storage infrastructure that has gradually improved, it is believed that Filecoin will continue to receive high attention from various projects in the blockchain field. V | czdn222
