An independent organization that facilitates governance of the @Filecoin network and supports the growth of the Filecoin ecosystem and the decentralized web.
After building, testing, and dreaming alongside builders and countless contributors across the Filecoin ecosystem, Filecoin Onchain Cloud is here.
FOC is a major expansion of the Filecoin network into a fully composable, onchain cloud.

The hardest part of decentralized governance isn't voting. It's incentives.
For six years, Filecoin rewarded the creation of storage capacity. Now, we're taking a major step toward rewarding something fundamentally different: paying customers.
Here's why Solstice matters. 🧵
Happy 6th birthday, Filecoin! 🎉
This year’s gift? A new economic flywheel built for the AI era:
🤖 More customers (AI agents, https://t.co/S5ZH6eEL0D, IPFS)
→ Recurring onchain revenue 💸
→ Usage-based provider rewards (Solstice) 🏆
→ Better services 💪
→ More customers 🔁
From incentivizing storage capacity to rewarding real demand. Here’s to the next era of Filecoin! 🚀
Major developments to Filecoin tokenomics and strategy that go live this month 💫
1. Rewarding customer acquisition & retention with new network reward mechanics
2. End of vesting built into the genesis block completes, reducing daily token supply growth
3. New products for enterprises and AI agents

AI needs data. Who gets to control it?
Marta Belcher from Filecoin Foundation joins me today to talk AI, privacy, crypto and the future of the internet.
The Breakdown. EP 804. Live 12–2 PM ET. Come join us.
The trillion $ RWA market needs immutable provenance records for offchain data that proves asset ownership, value and manages compliance+insurance risks.
Filecoin+IPFS cryptographically tie an onchain asset to an immutable, auditable record of the data supporting it, with the performance of S3 storage for a fraction of the cost.
RWAs on @avax have a head start. Get in touch if you’re building.
IPFS is evolving. Filecoin is here to support what comes next.
We’re making it easier to keep the data already living on IPFS durable, portable, and verifiable.
Introducing IPFS → Filecoin.
Store your IPFS pins with Filecoin: same CIDs, a fraction of what pinning services charge, and an onchain receipt you can verify yourself.
ICYMI: Last call for the Solstice proposal - one of the most significant changes to @Filecoin reward system since the network launched.

1/ The CLARITY Act, which would finally set rules of the road for digital assets in the U.S., is awaiting a key full-floor Senate vote. The bill defines which tokens are digital commodities under CFTC oversight and which are securities under the SEC, and gives builders a workable path to launch and decentralize without guessing which regulator shows up later.
Here's where things stand and why we support CLARITY.

1/4 A new proposal called Solstice would reorient Filecoin’s rewards structure towards a services economy.
This is one of the biggest changes to network incentives since Filecoin launched.
What it proposes, and how it got here: https://t.co/xumjOpe4zr
@Cloudflare buyers have to know the data they paid for is the data that was listed, and provenance records and verifiable storage put proof behind the sale
Filecoin is the storage layer for AI agents.
Live now: @FilecoinTLDR Builder challenge - check out the new tools and resources. We can't wait to see what you build!
🚀 FilecoinTLDR Builder Challenge - Cycle 2 is now live!
Following a fantastic response to Cycle 1, we invite you to keep your creative momentum going.
Cycle 2 Challenge: Build an AI Agent That Uses Filecoin
You can build an agent, agent workflow, or agent tool that uses Filecoin for memory, logs, datasets, proofs, or storage.
📅 Register: Jun 29 – Jul 3

Hey New York builders! 🗽
Got a weird AI experiment, agent workflow, or data-layer MVP that almost works? Stop hacking in isolation and come show it off.
🚀 What: A low-pressure demo night for real builders. No polished pitches, just raw code, good food, and drinks.
🛠️ Focus: Agentic workflows, AI tools, and data hacks. (Projects using Filecoin Onchain Cloud for decentralized storage get priority!)
⏱️ Format:
3-min demo slot (RSVP needed)
1-min open mic (just show up)
🎙️Hosts: @_FilOz , @FILBuilders , & @protocollabs
👇 Grab your spot to demo or hang out!

Moving one petabyte out of AWS costs $90,000. Moving 100 petabytes takes 92 days at maximum network speed.
Compute gets all the attention. Data location is where AI infrastructure gets stuck.
@JamesKurzFIL on data gravity at @ethconf today, 3:00 pm, Breakout Stage.
Building something agentic? Show us! We'll have a low key space for builders to share AI tools, agent workflows, and experiments.
- Agent Open Demo Night
- June 11 in NYC
- 3 min pitch slots available + open mic
Food, drinks, and convos with people building in the space. 🫶
