Filecoin was built for large data storage. Learn about the unique features Filecoin offers for large datasets and how many organizations are already realizing these benefits for their most valuable data.
A
Hey
everyone,
as
bailey
mentioned,
my
name
is
pooja
and
I'm
the
head
of
product
at
protocol
labs
super
excited
to
be
here
today.
On
the
one
year
anniversary
of
file
coin:
mainnet
launch
it's
amazing.
So
much
has
happened.
I
can't
actually
believe
it's
only
been
a
year,
but
I'm
really
really
excited
to
celebrate
this
incredibly
important
milestone
with
our
amazing
community.
A
So
first
taking
a
look
at
filecoin
by
the
numbers
over
the
last
year.
So
one
thing
that
has
continues
to
impress
me
every
single
day
is
that
file
coins.
Reach
really
truly
is
global,
that
we
have
more
than
3
400
participants
on
the
network
that
are
storage
providers,
that
span
locations
across
45
countries
across
the
world
and
hundreds
of
cities,
and
together
these
more
than
3
400
storage
providers,
represent
more
than
15
exabytes
of
storage
capacity,
which
is
a
truly
mind-boggling
number.
A
The
other
really
interesting
thing
about
filecoin
is
that
the
market
is
hyper
competitive
when
it
comes
to
storage
prices.
The
average
cost
of
storage
on
the
filecoin
network
over
the
last
30
days
looks
like
to
pay
for
one
terabyte
of
storage
for
one
year
on
filecoin
costs
less
than
a
dollar,
and
if
you
compare
this
to
maybe
the
nearest
traditional
competitors,
maybe
something
like
amazon
glacier,
which
is
more
than
20
times
the
cost
of
storage
on
the
biocoin
network.
A
So
really
really
incredible:
to
see
the
storage
network
itself
and
how
it's
grown.
We
also
have
a
really
incredible
and
expansive
developer
ecosystem.
There
are
more
than
7
500
contributors
who
are
developers
that
are
actively
contributing
to
many
different
projects
within
the
file
coin
ecosystem.
There
are
more
than
400
applications
that
have
been
built
on
the
filecoin
stack
more
than
100
venture-funded
startups
and
through
some
of
the
products
that
we've
been
building
specifically
for
application
developers.
A
Mostly
within
the
web3
space,
but
also
some
other
institutions
as
well
and
then,
of
course,
one
of
the
core
reasons
that
filecoin
exists
is
to
store
humanity's
most
important
data,
and
it's
been
really
incredible
to
see.
You
know
this.
This
is
an
area
in
which
we
really
have
seen
so
much
growth
that
has
been
very
inspiring
for
our
team
over
the
last
year,
because
this
is
just
so
core
to
why
we
do
what
we
do,
but
more
than
600
organizations
have
been
storing
their
data
on
filecoin
and
together.
A
These
organizations
represent
more
than
200
petabytes
of
data
that
have
either
already
actively
been
stored
on
the
file
coin
network
or
are
in
planning
phases
for
storage
over
the
next
several
months.
One
other
area
that
we
recently
started,
investing
in
as
well
I'd,
say
over
like
the
last
year
or
so
is
in
the
nft
space,
and
over
the
last
couple
months,
we've
seen
more
than
seven
million
nfts
that
have
been
stored
on
the
filecoin
network.
A
So
filecoin
I
mean
you
know.
Hopefully
it's
just
a
brief
world
went
through
some
of
the
numbers
of
what's
happening
on
file
point,
and
hopefully
that
gives
you
a
sense
for
the
scale
and
just
potential
that
this
network
really
has.
So
I
wanted
to
spend
a
little
bit
of
time
talking
about
why
file.
So
what
are
some
of
the
unique
features
and
capabilities
that
make
filecoin
a
really
good
fit
for
large
data
in
particular?
A
So
you
know,
as
we
all
know,
obviously,
cloud
storage
today
is
a
critical
part
of
our
internet
infrastructure,
but
we
at
filecoin
believe
that
there
are
some
fundamental
challenges
with
this
infrastructure
that,
especially
when
we
talk
about
storing
communities,
most
valuable
data
for
decades
and
centuries,
these
challenges
become
really
concerning,
and
we
think
that
there
are
alternative
solutions
that
can
do
a
lot
better.
So
what
are
some
of
these
challenges?
The
first
is
that
cloud
storage
is
centralized.
There
are
a
few
handful
of
companies
that
many
of
us
could
recite.
A
You
know
that's
this
very
short
list
of
what
who
those
companies
are,
that
control
the
vast
majority
of
the
cloud
storage
market
and
because
of
this
oligopolistic
nature
of
the
cloud
storage
market.
A
lot
of
these
providers
are
able
to
make
decisions
that
maybe
and
policy
decisions
that
are
maybe
in
the
best
interest
for
their
businesses,
but
maybe
don't
give
the
flexibility
and
control
to
their
users
that
they
would
actually
desire.
A
This
may
not
be
in
the
best
interest
of
users,
but
it
is
the
decision
that
gets
made
regardless,
and
so
it
can
be
really
constraining
for
users.
In
addition,
because
most
of
these
cloud
storage
companies
have
proprietary
interfaces,
it
makes
it
really
difficult
for
users
to
go
and
solve
their
own
problems
with
protocol
level
innovation.
So
we
think
the
centralization
of
this
extremely
critical
infrastructure
is
a
challenge,
but
in
addition,
we've
also
seen
that
cloud
storage
can
be
very
brittle
and
very
fragile.
A
That
is
especially
not
the
case.
We've
actually
spoken
to
a
number
of
organizations
that
find
the
data,
egress
costs
from
cloud
and
cloud
storage
so
high
that
sometimes
they
just
choose
to
abandon
the
data,
and
just
you
know,
convert
it
from
tape
again
or
whatever,
because
they
can't
afford
to
pay
the
cost
of
data
and
egress
off
of
this
infrastructure.
A
Some
of
the
ways
that
we
do
this
are
you
know
focusing
in
on
the
decentralized
part,
because
filecoin
is
this
network
of
you
know:
3
400,
plus
storage
providers.
As
I
mentioned,
there
isn't
the
same
notion
of
a
single
point
of
failure.
You,
as
a
as
an
organization,
can
choose
to
work
with
just
one
storage
provider.
You
could
choose
to
work
with
10,
you
could
work,
you
could
choose
to
work
with
all
3
400
or
more
and
growing.
You
know,
and
that
is
an
option
that
clients
have
on
this
network.
A
The
other
thing
as
well,
just
given
the
way
that
filecoin
is
built
as
this
like
open
source.
First,
like
very
open
network
you,
as
a
user,
can,
if
there's
any
particular
feature
you
want
or
any
anything
that
you
think
is
really
important,
that
this
network
has.
The
fact
that
filecoin
is
open
source
enables
users
to
solve
their
own
problems
or
to
work
with
organizations
to
build
to
do
this
protocol
level
innovation
and
to
solve
these
pro
these
program.
A
These
problems
for
themselves
and
also
for
other
users
on
the
network
too,
and
the
fact
that
it's
open
source
enables
that
filecoin
also
is
very
robust.
There
are
a
number
of
mechanisms
that
have
been
really
thoughtfully,
designed
over
several
years
to
ensure
that
as
an
organization,
if
you're
storing
your
data
on
filecoin,
you
should
have
extremely
high
certainty
and
confidence
that
your
data
is
going
to
be
stored
for
the
long
term.
We've
innovated
on
a
number
of
cryptographic
mechanisms,
different
proofs.
A
A
So
the
first
case
study
that
I
wanted
to
talk
about
was
our
work
with
the
usc
show,
foundation
and
starling
lab.
If
you
haven't
already
heard
from
jonathan
doughton
who's,
the
founding
director
of
the
starling
lab,
I'm
sure
he's
giving
one
or
many
talks
at
orbit.
This
is
a
really
incredible
use
case
and
he's
a
great
speaker
and,
and
is
such
a
great
storyteller.
A
So
I
would
highly
recommend
you
go
check
out
those
talks,
but
the
usc
show
foundation
is
a
nonprofit
organization
that
manages
the
world's
largest
archive
of
testimonies
from
genocide.
Survivors
and
the
startling
lab
is
an
organization,
that's
building
a
framework
in
collaboration
with
the
show
foundation
and
other
groups
such
as
at
stanford,
it's
a
framework
for
data
integrity,
so
that
we,
you
know
again
as
we're
moving
to
this
increasingly
digital
first
society.
A
The
this
particular
genocide,
testimonial
archive
is
called
the
visual
history
archive
and
it
represents
more
than
eight
heavy
bites
of
data
of
video
testimonies
from
more
than
55
000
genocide
survivors
around
the
world.
You
can
see
in
this
slide
it's
more
than
62
countries.
These
videos
are
recorded
in
more
than
44
languages
and
we're
in
process
right
now
to
get
all
of
these,
these
archives
onto
the
filecoin
network
and
that
is
actively
underway.
A
So
some
of
the
core
benefits
that
filecoin
has
provided
for
this
use
case
are
that
you
know
it
has
really
leaned
into
this
idea
of
file
coins,
cryptographic,
proofs
and,
and
this
being
a
actually
publicly
verifiable
stamp,
that
the
data
that
is
intending
to
be
stored
in
filecoin
is
properly
stored
and
is
safely
available
for
the
long
term
and
actually
exposing
these
cryptographic
groups
to
users
so
that
they
themselves
can
go,
and
you
know
verify
like.
Yes
is.
A
My
data
is
still
stored
in
the
network
and
you
can
use
these
proofs
to
get
to
gain
that
confidence.
Filecoin
also
leans
into
just
like
the
ipfs
network,
leans
into
content,
addressing
data
which
is
a
native
which
is
essentially
a
way
of
referring
to
data
by
a
fingerprint
of
the
data
itself,
as
opposed
to
just
an
arbitrary
name-
and
this
is,
you
know,
best
practice
in
a
lot
of
archival
communities,
because
it
helps
mitigate
data
tampering.
A
You
always
know
that,
if
you're
using
the
particular
content
identifier
to
look
for
a
piece
of
data,
that's
what
you're
going
to
get
and
you're
not
going
to
get
something
some
other
data
that
had
been
tampered.
You
know
some
some
doctored
in
some
way,
but
was
named
the
same
way
as
the
original
file
and
getting
this
doctor
version
back.
So
the
data
integrity
native
features
of
filecoin
have
been
really
beneficial
here.
The
falcon
blockchain
is
also
a
public
record
that
includes
information
about
who
owns
the
data.
What
are
these
content
identifiers?
A
You
know
a
massive
community
of
folks
who
really
care
about
preserving
important
data,
sets
and
work
with
them
to
collectively
onboard
this
data
onto
the
filecoin
network
and
file
can
discover
it
has
a
similar
objective,
but
operates
differently,
where
it's
more
like
an
open
marketplace
where
storage
providers
can
buy
the
data
sets
that
they
want
to
store
and
preserve
on
filecoin.
So
between
these
two
programs,
we
are
storing
more
than
42
petabytes
of
data,
and
this
is
you
know
already
like
actively
in
progress
like
this.
Data
has
already
been
started
on
filecoin.
A
This
is
something
that
the
file
clean
network,
just
very
naturally
enables,
and
so
it's
you
know,
just
makes
the
data
much
more
highly
available,
much
faster
to
access
and
just
much
more
resilient.
If
you
have
10
copies
versus
one,
much
less
likely
that
that
date
is
ever
going
to
disappear
from
from
the
internet,
so
global
redundancy
has
a
big
event
has
been
a
big
advantage
here.
A
The
other
interesting
thing,
too,
is
that,
because
we've
been
working
with
this
truly
massive
community
of
hundreds
of
community
members
that
are
working
together
to
preserve
these
data
sets,
we've
also
developed
this,
like
massive
library
of
documentation,
about
how
to
interact
with
large
data
sets
store
this
data
on
filecoin
how
to
get
the
data
back
out
and
a
bunch
of
tooling
as
well.
That
has
been
built
in
order
to
make
this
sort
of
processing
and
onboarding
of
petabyte
scale
data
really
easy
on
filecoin.
A
So
some
really
interesting
use
case
use
cases
here
as
well
that
I
encourage
folks
to
look
into
and
then
more
recently
a
recent
project
that
we
began
working
with.
Although
we've
been
friends-
and
you
know
partners
in
a
number
of
different
efforts
with
the
internet
archive
for
many
years,
but
over
the
last
few
months,
we've
begun
the
process,
the
long
process,
but
very
exciting
process
of
onboarding
all
of
the
internet
archive
onto
filecoin.
So
folks,
don't
know
on
the
internet
archive.
A
A
It
really
needs
to
have
a
very
robust
infrastructure
that
has
good
good
mechanisms
and
resiliency
and
self-healing
properties
within
it,
so
that
this
data,
you
know
in
the
unforeseen
circumstances
that
will
happen
over
the
next
thousand
years,
can
continue
to
live
so
the
decentralized
nature
of
filecoin,
and
some
of
these,
like
self-healing
elements,
make
filecoin
a
very
compelling
choice
for
this
data.
The
fact
that
the
the
way
that
falcon
is
designed
is
really
intend
to
persist.
A
A
A
That's
coming
from
other
researchers,
and
so
it's
sort
of
this
like
use
case
of
research
collaboration
and
the
the
plan
here,
is
to
onboard
you
know
more
than
one
and
a
half
petabytes
of
climate
data
sets
so
that
more
than
40
research
institutions
can
participate
in
sort
of
this
like
shared
pool
and
research
collaboration
project.
So
some
of
the
the
advantages
of
biocoin
here
have
been
that
this.
This
really
this
notion
of
like
there's.
There
really
is
just
natively
this
unified
access
layer.
A
A
So
you
know
we've,
as
as
filecoin
has
been
evolving
over
the
last
year
we
started
to
get
some
more
nods
and
sort
of
like
certain.
Like
just
reports
on
you
know
the
fact
that
filecoin
actually
really
is
a
a
solution
that
is
appropriate
for
high
sla
data
services
for
for
large
data
sets,
and
so
there
are
some
quotes
here
from
some
of
our
friends
at
gigahome.
But
it
really
you
know.
A
The
main
thing
I
want
to
impress
is
that
these
are
just
a
few
examples,
but
filecoin
has
has
really
been
built
to
store
large
data
sets
and
we've
seen
some
initial
examples
of
this,
and
just
can't
wait
for
more
for
more
organizations
to
come
forth
and
say
that
hey,
you
know.
We
think
this
is
the
right
way
to
think
about
long-term
storage
of
our
most
valuable
data,
and
we
want
to.
We
want
to
explore
what
this
looks
like.
