Recently, Filecoin officially confirmed that Space Race will officially start at 6:00 a.m. next Tuesday, August 25! The miners who heard the news rushed to tell each other and were extremely happy. It takes three years to sharpen a sword, and it will soar into the sky in one go! Everyone always has very high expectations for Filecoin. After all, the future web3.0 era will be led by Filecoin. Now that Filecoin has made significant progress, let’s take another look at Filecoin. How does its original intention and mission relate to the development of mankind? 01 Technology promotes human development At this point, everyone has heard a lot about Filecoin mining. So is Filecoin really just about mining? Everything we have today is due to the advancement of our technology. Let’s take a look at what Filecoin means to us humans from the perspective of human development history. Throughout human history, human progress is inseparable from the progress of science and technology.We moved forward step by step, and in the Stone Age we began to master the use of tools, which was actually a technological advancement. We began to be able to use fire, learn to make bows and arrows, and hunt. In the agricultural era, although productivity had improved significantly, with large-scale land reclamation and the use of livestock, our food and clothing problems were solved, but the level of productivity was not high and it was still mainly manual labor. The real acceleration of productivity began in the industrial age. The invention and use of machines led to a rapid increase in productivity. The invention of the steam engine, the internal combustion engine, and electricity, and the use of machines freed human hands, allowing productivity to increase very rapidly. In fact, today, we have already entered the information age. The invention and application of the Internet has enabled us humans to have more interactions and, of course, has also generated a lot of data. Now about 2EB of data is generated every day. With the commercial use of 5G, we will only generate more data. It can be said that this is the era of digital economy.So what role does the development of blockchain play in our digital economy today? In fact, we can say loudly here that blockchain has played a role in promoting the digital economy. Blockchain has become the cornerstone of the digital economy era. Let's take a look at the current development trend of blockchain. In fact, as of today, blockchain has become more compliant and has more application scenarios. As we all know, blockchain has very mature applications in the fields of finance and logistics, and is now also applied to big health and the distributed storage industry that we focus on today. It can be said that blockchain plays a very important integrative role in China's future industrial foundation and industrial advantages. Blockchain was considered a machine for creating trust from the very beginning because of its distributed and tamper-proof characteristics. With blockchain, the problem of trust has been solved. So let's take a look at the development history of blockchain. The current blockchain can be said to have entered the blockchain 3.0 era. 1.0 was the emergence of Bitcoin in 2008, which solved the problem of cross-border payments. The 2.0 era was represented by Ethereum, which began to have smart contracts and a broad ecosystem, including the current DeFi, which is based on a platform like Ethereum. Of course, in addition to the hot DeFi this year, another project is Filecoin. In addition, the development of blockchain also hides such a timeline, and blockchain technology basically has a major breakthrough every 6 years. So is today's blockchain technology perfect? No, there are still many problems that blockchain has not solved. Today's ecological applications are still mostly in the financial field, and the very important storage problem has not been solved. We humans are indeed very concerned about economic issues, but what should be used to carry our splendid civilization for thousands of years? Current centralized storage has various drawbacks, including privacy leaks, data loss, not to mention its high price. How can we continue to pass on our splendid civilization steadily? 02Filecoin carries human civilization IPFS and Filecoin are here to empower human civilization. IPFS is a content-addressing technology. Looking back at the development history of IPFS, since Juan, the founder of Protocol Labs, initiated this project in 2014, tens of thousands of nodes have participated in this project today, and hundreds of Dapps have been developed based on this technology, including many communication tools and browsers such as Opera. There are participants from all walks of life in this ecosystem, and researchers and content creators use IPFS technology to achieve better information transmission. However, IPFS alone is not enough, and more people need to be encouraged to use this technology. With Filecoin as an incentive layer, more people can be encouraged to participate. What is Filecoin’s vision? The Filecoin vision described by Protocol Labs is to store humanity's most important information. So, how can this be done? Filecoin actually uses blockchain technology and many other protocol laboratory projects to ensure the security and speed of the network and form a strong network. In fact, since the launch of Filecoin, there have been more and more participants and the ecosystem has become more and more sound.Currently, you can participate in Filecoin not only mining, but also developing Dapp. Of course, you can also buy and sell FIL. Here is a risk warning, because the current FIL is only a futures, so everyone should choose carefully. Filecoin is steadily advancing the development of its ecosystem, with many data trading platforms, storage service platforms, and many applications. On the other hand, Filecoin is also actively embracing supervision and doing a good job of reviewing bad content. In short, we will see an increasingly sound Filecoin. We can believe that Filecoin can carry thousands of years of splendid human civilization, upgrade the Internet, and enter the web3.0 era. 03 Get involved in building an ecosystem
Of course, building an ecosystem is not easy, and we need more people to participate like the Force Zone. Get involved and build an ecosystem together! Whether it is knowledge preaching or technology development, we will make real contributions to the ecosystem. Force Zone will continue to contribute to the development of the ecosystem now and in the future. As a web3.0 infrastructure service provider, we hope to work with everyone to make the Filecoin ecosystem better and better, carry human civilization, and better pass on civilization to our next generation.
