The internet is always evolving. We started with the "read-only" solution of the web1.0 internet, which was a static website and could not interact with the website, and then moved on to the "read-write" solution of the web2.0.
In Web2.0, from linkedin to google to gmail, we are able to interact with some static files, which is our way of life now. However, we are slowly moving into Web 3.0, the era of the Internet of authoring and trust.
In Web3.0, trust is an operational thing that allows us to achieve verifiability online, which means that we can basically trust what we are using, and can ensure the quality of content information and the quality of operation of various parts of the Internet, which is vital to human development.
This is why IPFS and Filecoin, as protocol applications for open source companies, believe that data must be protected and must be in people's hands.
However, this is not the case in reality. The problem with all of these systems that we use frequently is Tencent Cloud, Alibaba Cloud, Google Cloud, and Google Tools. This is powerless, and this is the bug in the current Web2.0 model, and this is what IPFS and Filecoin are trying to change with the development of Web3, although it is a long journey.
Filecoin is a storage method designed for Web3. It frees us from the bottom layer and gives us opportunities. It allows us to be verifiable through cryptographic proof storage, which currently has a capacity of more than 180 million terabytes.
On Filecoin's solution, storing data is 100 times cheaper than storing on Google Cloud, so everyone on the network will use it as much as possible, and save time. Permanence is obtained through smart contracts, ensuring that there is no central solution or central The storage provider sends the transaction.
In this way, all data can be accessed consistently, and IPFS is the best choice for fast and flexible retrieval of data. With gateways and local nodes, browsers that can access IPFS content, the combination of IPFS and Filecoin is seamless.
The development platform can also use IPFS and Filecoin to build social networks, store them on the IPFS network, and store them dynamically in the browser. The IPFS network will create a simple social network, and can also use IPFS and Filecoin for network archiving. Filecoin supports Something of value that also encourages storage data to be secure, resilient and decentralized, a great opportunity for the upcoming Web3.
