FAQ
Filecoin (FIL) is a decentralized storage system that aims to store a variety of information. It is an open protocol supported by a blockchain that records commitments made by the network's participants, with transactions made using FIL, the blockchain's native currency. Filecoin is open-source and aims to be decentralized, with governance in the hands of the community. The platform provides an opportunity for developers to create cloud file storage services. FIL, Filecoin's native currency, powers the entire network and all processes. Clients exchange transactions in FIL tokens, and miners place FIL as collateral, guaranteeing their services. Filecoin seeks to address the challenge of inefficient file storage and retrieval by providing an efficient set of tools and its core development, IPFS.
Filecoin operates through a system involving three parties: clients, storage miners, and retrieval miners. Clients exchange for storing or retrieving data, placing an order on the online storage market where a deal is concluded with storage miners. Storage miners store the client’s data and are compensated. They place files in free sectors of a hard drive, all actions are recorded in the blockchain, and clients receive private keys. Retrieval miners extract data at a client's request. Clients place a trade on the off-chain Retrieval Market. Filecoin is based on IPFS where all data is stored on a peer-to-peer blockchain. Users choose miners to store personal data and exchange for placement in FIL tokens. Miners execute trades, receive participation fees and FIL compensation. The more storage miners offer, the higher the chances of getting compensated.
