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
🧵
6 years in, Filecoin is graduating from a capacity network to a revenue-generating business network.
Cold storage took Filecoin from zero to one. Now the focus is on storage for growing demands of AI and agents.
@momack28 gives a glimpse on everything in the works 👇
A growing share of Filecoin network rewards is now tied to winning and keeping paying customers.
@blockworksres take on one of the most significant changes to Filecoin’s reward system since the network launched.
The Filecoin team has been focused all year on dramatically lowering token inflation, with the potential for sustainable deflation, while also commercializing the technology to compete at scale against major centralized storage companies.
I think we’re *very much* on the right track. From engineering to business teams there’s serious work happening and the future is looking very bright.
The Filecoin network's latest upgrade is complete! Now, a growing share of rewards will go to services that bring paying customers onto the network, and that share grows as paid demand grows.
Did you see the news this week? New products and reward mechanics set the Filecoin network up for enterprises and agents. This month:
1. Rewarding customer acquisition & retention with new network reward mechanics
2. End of vesting, reducing daily token supply growth
3. Products for enterprises and AI agents
Lighthouse is closing in on 10 million files objects.
34.6K users and 50.42 TiB of storage consumed.
Built on @IPFS , @Filecoin and @WalrusProtocol , our storage infrastructure now powers persistent AI memory.

Genesis vesting officially ended on Oct 14 (yesterday) at 14:44 UTC! Awesome to see daily inflation come down - and next week brings even more improvements with the Solstice upgrade on Oct 19! (https://t.co/tK2aOrUY4c)
Storage is becoming a bottleneck for AI. The last 6 years built the infra at scale with exabytes of capacity deployed globally
As storage gets scarcer, more expensive, more location sensitive, Filecoin is uniquely positioned to meet today's AI demands

AI needs somewhere to put all that data.
Marta Belcher joined me to explain why storage is becoming a bottleneck and where Filecoin fits into the picture.
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. 🧵
As storage gets scarcer, more expensive, and more location sensitive, Filecoin is uniquely positioned to meet these demands.

AI agents are storage customers too.
Filecoin’s publish skill, MCP server, and foc-cli let an agent store a file, get a public link that stays live, and pay for it, with 📣no sales cycle📣
