1/ Introducing Filecoin Onchain Cloud: an open, verifiable cloud built on content-addressed data, transparent service delivery, and programmable payments.

All onchain. No vendor lock-in.

5 to 15 years is how long new grid transmission lines take to plan and build, per the IEA, against just 1 to 3 years for a data center itself.

Large power transformer lead times have doubled since 2021, now reaching 4 years.

Filecoin capacity runs on power already connected.

€7.8 billion is what AWS is investing in its European Sovereign Cloud, launched in January 2026, as Europe's 90% dependency on non-EU cloud persists. AWS, Azure, Google control 60% of that market.

Filecoin already spans many jurisdictions at the same price everywhere.

15% to 20% of total enterprise cloud spend, an estimated $110 to $145 billion against Gartner's $723.4 billion 2025 total, goes to egress fees alone, per Sedai's own analysis.

Whatever your egress line costs today, it disappears entirely on a Filecoin invoice.

.@tweetclarita from @FilFoundation: 'I used to say that Filecoin, maybe 4 years ago, used to feel like a Raspberry Pi experience where you had to be a little technical to navigate.

Now we've made it really easy.'

$3.75 billion is Western Digital's Q4 2026 revenue, up 44% YoY, with 89% of that, $3.3 billion, from cloud customers alone.

CEO Irving Tan: 'While compute cycles can be reused, data compounds.'

Filecoin capacity was deployed before hyperscalers drove these prices up.

.@tweetclarita from @FilFoundation: Governments increasingly need to know exactly where their data lives, not just that it's backed up.

'You can dictate where to store your data, check that it's actually stored there, and keep redundant copies around the world.'

506 acres is the footprint of Google's newly-confirmed Project Clydesdale campus in Tulsa County, Oklahoma, part of $15 billion invested in the state since 2011.

The full campus could take five to seven years to complete.

Filecoin storage capacity is already running today.

@coinbase payment histories for autonomous agents should stay verifiable outside the platform processing them

[Filecoin @Filecoin]

@chamath data stored for so long needs its integrity proofs to survive the post-quantum transition

[Filecoin @Filecoin]

@GoogleDeepMind double-blind evaluations depend on evidence that remains verifiable after the secure environment closes

[Filecoin @Filecoin]

@KobeissiLetter using storage capacity already online is capital discipline

[Filecoin TL;DR @FilecoinTLDR]

🧵A petabyte migration outlasts the bandwidth on paper

TL;DR: 1 PB takes 9+ days over 10 Gbps at full speed, 16+ days at 55% utilization.

Filecoin Onchain Cloud stores a verified copy once at $2.50 per TiB monthly, reachable by any compute provider without moving it again.

$753 per terabyte is what enterprise TLC SSD storage costs today, against just $40.50 per terabyte for nearline HDD, an 18.6x gap, per VDURA's own August 2026 index.

Filecoin sealing and staging capacity is already secured on the HDD side of that math.

[Filecoin @Filecoin]

@KobeissiLetter storage doesn't need that same exponential buildout to keep pace, capacity that's already deployed scales differently than chips do

[Filecoin @Filecoin]

.@tweetclarita from @FilFoundation: 'You can never control when you're ultimately housing that data with a major provider that also has a lot of shares in AI companies.

It's the same kind of trust with banks.

@DevWeb3X the storage and retrieval bill continues long after the GPU hour is paid for

[Filecoin @Filecoin]

$54.2 billion is what Amazon spent on capex in Q2 2026 alone, up from $32.1 billion a year earlier, citing higher memory costs among the drivers.

Trailing free cash flow has now turned negative, a $7.6 billion outflow.

None of that burden lands on a Filecoin storage bill.

[Filecoin @Filecoin]

@chamath deployed storage capacity lowers infrastructure costs for applications before that margin flip

[Filecoin @Filecoin]

@TechCrunch one million hours of training video is worth protecting across model generations

[Filecoin @Filecoin]

$22,600 is what a 30TB enterprise TLC SSD costs today, 18.6 times the $1,216 price of an equivalent HDD, per VDURA's August 2026 index.

Seagate and Western Digital have confirmed nearline HDD supply is sold out through 2027.

Filecoin runs on hardware already secured.

[Filecoin @Filecoin]

565 terawatt-hours is what data centers will consume globally in 2026, up 26% from 447 TWh in 2025, per Gartner.

AI-optimized servers now make up 31% of that draw, on pace to overtake conventional servers by 2027.

Filecoin runs on power that's already connected.
