What is Filecoin?
Filecoin is a decentralised storage system that acts as an incentive layer for the Interplanetary File System (IPFS), a peer-to-peer storage network. It was designed to incentivize the reliable storage of files on the network. It is an open protocol and backed by a blockchain that records commitments with FIL, the blockchain’s native currency. The blockchain is based on both proof-of-replication and proof-of-spacetime.

Mission
Filecoin aims to “store humanity’s most important information.” Unlike cloud storage companies, which are prone to the problems of centralization, Filecoin leverages its decentralized nature to protect the integrity of a data’s location, making it easily retrievable and hard to censor.
Team
Filecoin was founded by Juan Benet. He is the founder and CEO of Protocol Labs, which he started in May 2014. Protocol Labs is an open-source research, development, and deployment laboratory. Their projects include Filecoin, IPFS, and libp2p.
