Filecoin mainnet is about to be launched. Do you know the landing scenario?

Introduction to Filecoin

Filecoin is a decentralized distributed cloud storage network that transforms cloud storage into an algorithmic market and is also the token of IPFS technology. The birth of Filecoin means the arrival of the era of distributed cloud storage.

The biggest feature of Filecoin is the storage and retrieval of data. Miners obtain Tokens (i.e. filecoin) by providing data storage space and retrieval, and filecoin rewards miners by contributing idle hard disks. The Filecoin network allows anyone to become a storage provider and profit by providing their hard disk space to achieve economies of scale.

Application scenarios of Filecoin

Any digital currency has its application scenarios. What are the specific application scenarios of Filecoin?

1. Secure Archiving

Filecoin's time-space proof can verify that the file is stored intact and has not been tampered with within a given time; the replication proof can verify the agreed number of backups of the stored file; the verifiable behavior can automatically correct errors when necessary. The unique cryptographic proof can ensure that the user's data will continue to be available for a long time and will not be changed.

2. Public Datasets

The Filecoin network assists archivists, scientists, and other cloud service and data experts in data backup and distribution. In the future, it will become the basis for important public data, such as publicly accessible scientific data, innovative mass media, historical archives, and so on.

3. Video

Traditional online video platforms use centralized storage services, which have high storage and bandwidth costs. These costs are ultimately transferred to users through watching ads and memberships, but video platforms that use IPFS storage methods will reduce the redundancy of the same resources and save the bandwidth costs required for videos.

4. Private Data

In recent years, hacker attacks on the Internet have occurred frequently, causing a large amount of user personal information to be leaked. The concept of Filecoin distribution is to distribute all data on different nodes, so hackers cannot invade all nodes, which effectively ensures data security and user privacy.

5. Application Data

Filecoin adds incentivized permanent storage to IPFS. After the Filecoin mainnet is launched, IPFS users can directly and reliably store data on Filecoin, and the storage of data for many applications will become safe and fast.

6. DApp Application

For most of the current basic public chains, storing large amounts of data on their main chains is an urgent problem to be solved. If DApp is to be widely used by the public, it is necessary to break through the storage bottleneck of existing technologies, and the Filecoin distributed cloud storage network is likely to become the infrastructure of the future blockchain industry.

7. Website Platform

Sharing has become a label of our lives. When users upload their original content to content sharing platforms, a large part of the revenue will be taken away by the platform, and the creators will actually get very little revenue. When blockchain technology exists, content creators can directly communicate with fans and share revenue.

Filecoin creates an incentive market for utilizing spare storage space. By increasing supply, we can meet growing demand at the lowest price. Only by understanding these application scenarios can we truly see the significance of Filecoin's incentive layer!

Of course, as the value of Filecoin continues to increase, the security of your own wallet is becoming more and more important. The upcoming TJ Wallet, a wallet with dual software and hardware guarantees, will surely add the most secure barrier to our Filecoin!
