FilecoinFIL#58

Filecoin (FIL) is a decentralized storage network designed to store humanity's most important information. Built by Protocol Labs, Filecoin creates a decentralized marketplace for data storage where users can rent out unused hard drive space or purchase storage from the network. The platform uses cryptographic proofs to ensure files are stored reliably over time without requiring trust in a central authority. Filecoin's blockchain-based approach to data storage offers advantages over traditional cloud storage, including better security, lower costs, and resistance to censorship. The FIL token incentivizes storage providers to maintain the network and allows users to pay for storage services.
