Filecoin: The Original DePIN Prototype
Filecoin is a decentralized storage network where users pay storage providers to securely store files. It's built on IPFS, adding an incentive layer for reliable, long-term file storage.
Filecoin supports various use cases, from NFT storage to archiving, offering a decentralized, cost-effective alternative to traditional cloud storage. It powers platforms like Audius and Huddle01 with secure, scalable storage solutions.
