About Filecoin

Filecoin is a decentralized storage network designed to store humanity's most important information.

It turns cloud storage into an algorithmic market, allowing anyone to rent out spare storage space or purchase storage at competitive prices. Built on open-source protocols, Filecoin provides a secure, efficient, and decentralized alternative to centralized storage solutions.
