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.
Aw yeah, here we go. Down 650K in just 3 months! dashboard.starboard.ventures…
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! (filecoin.io/blog/Solstice-To…)
IPFS is entering its next chapter: more decentralized, more resilient, & stewarded by a growing community of independent teams supporting public infrastructure!💪
At the end of September the project celebrated a major milestone 🏁: 100% of in-browser public gateway traffic now uses direct, verifiable peer-to-peer retrieval — run by a sustainable, federated network of independent operators.🤝
Big thanks to:
🔎 IPNI / Compass — content discovery, routing, and browser-first retrieval
📊 ProbeLab — network health, measurement, and performance
🛡️ Skapa / BadBits — protecting the network from abuse
IPFS has always been about an internet that is more open, resilient, and user-controlled. Building on IPFS? Operating infrastructure? Come help shape what's next!

It’s been a blast building and playing and proving what’s possible with @Filecoin!
Happy 6th! 🎂🎉
What’s next…? A few more primitives, lots of elbow grease, and a composable, self-sovereign, distributed alternative to existing hyperscalers.
Happy 6th birthday, @Filecoin! 🎂
FilOz is proud to be building the customer end of this flywheel: paid storage, settled on-chain, proven every day.
Here’s to the next six. 🚀

🤖 Made with AI
Happy 6th birthday, Filecoin! 🎉
This year’s gift? A new economic flywheel built for the AI era:
🤖 More customers (AI agents, Fil.one, 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! 🚀
Filecoin hit mainnet 6 years ago today - & what a ride so far! We're still just getting started, moving faster than ever. 🚀
Massive work has gone into revenue & demand upgrades so far this year:
- @FilFoundation built fil.one, performant, managed S3 storage on Filecoin
- @_FilOz built filecoin.io/products/warm-st…, filecoin.io/products/ipfs & filecoin.io/products/agents - upgrading Filecoin's storage services for the AI era
- #FIDL built filecoin.io/products/archiva… for automated storage of large archives & datasets
- @IntegralSpaceTm launched to turn the next set of data-rich businesses into Filecoin customers
- @_FilOz @FilFoundation & many others collaborated to sunset FIL+ and bring a revenue-based subnet economy to Filecoin, closing the economic flywheel
Beyond proud of this ecosystem - showing up every day and getting the work done, never wavering from the mission to create a decentralized, efficient, and robust foundation for humanity’s information.
🚀 Huge milestone for the thousands of people who built @Filecoin together - thank you! ❤️
I am extremely proud of the Filecoin community, the many teams of builders, miners, and users across the globe, persevering in their vision for a better internet.

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

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. 🧵
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

Filecoin Warm Storage is not tied to one coding agent. The Publish skill works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, OpenCode, and other skills.sh-compatible agents, from whichever one is open.
One install works for all of them.

Cool things in Filecoin Happening: 👇

Blast from the past. 5 years ago Filecoin broke massive barriers in storage capacity and network performance.
Now we’re breaking new barriers in scaling demand, revenue, and rewards!
It’s *staggering* to reflect on how much the @Filecoin community & network have achieved in just the past year!🤯
Here's my top 10 amazing improvements that brought Filecoin from what it was THEN, to what it is NOW: one of the largest, cheapest data storage networks in the world!

Gross FIL issuance drops by an estimated 75% once Protocol Labs and Filecoin Foundation vesting ends this October.
From there, block rewards are the only new supply, and burns and collateral locking decide what happens next.

With the nv29 Solstice upgrade, Filecoin is adopting @bittensor-style subnets, starting with service rewards for onchain revenue-generating demand! 💸
@Filecoin GTM is scaling faster than ever! 💪🚀
Very excited for this new commercial bet for @Filecoin - acquiring data-heavy businesses, building AI-native neocloud services, driving demand to our global community of Service Providers, and scaling Filecoin revenue. 🚀🎉💪

We’re thrilled to announce the launch of Integral Spacetime, a storage neocloud built to combine powerful business models into a single company focused on the future of digital storage.
The company acquires existing businesses with large storage needs (data aggregation, backup and disaster recovery, video and media, etc.) and great fundamentals → migrates their workloads onto the Filecoin network → and leverages that recurring revenue to support improvements in storage infrastructure.

Perfect vision at 40. Legally blind at 44. Reading words again by the second rehab session with @ScienceCorp_’s PRIMA retinal implant.
Congratulations to @maxhodak_ and the whole Science team. Results like this are what the whole field is working toward!
