RedStone spustil na hlavní síti Filecoin cenový datový kanál FIL/USD pro chytré kontrakty FVM. Aktualizuje se při cenové odchylce o 0,5 % nebo každé čtyři hodiny.
RedStone has integrated Filecoin and deployed a FIL/USD push price feed on Filecoin mainnet, delivering a dollar price for the network’s native token to smart contracts on the Filecoin Virtual Machine (FVM).
How the FIL/USD Price Feed Works on Filecoin Mainnet RedStone’s FIL/USD feed publishes a signed FIL price to a contract on Filecoin mainnet that any FVM application can read. Getting there took a chain integration: RedStone set up the relayer and onchain contracts Filecoin needed to receive push feeds in the first place.
The feed runs on RedStone’s push model. An off-chain relayer collects FIL prices from RedStone’s data providers and writes an update onchain when one of two conditions is met, a 0.5% price deviation or a four-hour heartbeat. Each update carries the providers’ signatures and a timestamp, and the adapter contract validates both before storing the price. Consuming contracts read that stored value directly.
Because the FVM runs Solidity through its EVM runtime, integration looks the same as it does on Ethereum. A lending contract calls latestRoundData() through the standard aggregator interface and gets back the price along with the time it was last updated. The Calibration feed lets teams test collateral and liquidation logic against real FIL prices before any mainnet funds are involved.
Why FVM Applications Need a Dollar Price for FIL Much of Filecoin’s DeFi activity grew out of storage. Providers lock FIL as collateral to take on storage deals, and protocols such as GLIF run leasing pools where FIL holders deposit tokens, receive a liquid token in return, and lend to those providers for a share of their rewards. The loans are denominated in FIL. The decisions around them, how much a provider can borrow and when a position gets too thin, depend on what FIL is worth in dollars on a given day.
The programmable side of the network is growing as well. Filecoin Onchain Cloud, which moves storage and payments onchain, went live on Filecoin mainnet on 26 March 2026 after more than 100 teams built on its testnet, according to the Filecoin blog. Its payment layer, Filecoin Pay, settles usage onchain, and the network’s 2026 strategy calls for adding stablecoin payments to it. Once storage is priced in dollars and paid in FIL, or the reverse, the contract in the middle needs a conversion rate it can trust, updated often enough to settle against.
What the Integration Unlocks For Filecoin builders, the change is practical. A team launching a FIL-collateralized lending market or a dollar-priced storage service can point its contract at an existing feed and skip running price infrastructure of its own. The same reference price is a starting input for liquid staking tokens that need a dollar value, for insurance products that price cover in dollars and pay out in FIL, and for AI and data applications that bill for services onchain. Where those products need something beyond FIL/USD, such as an exchange rate for a liquid token, RedStone’s custom feeds can be deployed on the same infrastructure.
For RedStone, the integration extends its footprint into the network that describes itself as the world’s largest decentralized storage network, and into a DeFi market built around provider collateral. Chain integrations tend to widen after launch. RedStone went live on Tempo in March 2026 with FX feeds for payments, and by May it was supplying the feeds behind a full lending stack on Tempo. The feeds also carry a record of zero mispricing events, including correct ezETH and wstETH prices during episodes when those assets were mispriced elsewhere.
Filecoin’s 2026 network strategy puts paid onchain deals at the top of its objectives, alongside network profitability and adoption by paying flagship clients. Its go-to-market focus includes AI agents, chain data and real-world assets. Each paid deal is a contract that moves FIL, and every one budgeted in dollars needs a price to settle against.
See the FIL/USD feed’s contract addresses and update parameters on the RedStone app.
Is there a FIL/USD price feed on Filecoin mainnet? Yes. RedStone operates a FIL/USD push feed on Filecoin mainnet that any smart contract on the Filecoin Virtual Machine can read. A matching feed runs on the Calibration testnet for development and testing.
How often does the RedStone FIL/USD feed update? The feed pushes a new price onchain whenever FIL moves 0.5% from the last stored value. If the price stays inside that band, a heartbeat forces an update every four hours.
How do FVM smart contracts read the FIL/USD price? The FVM supports Solidity, so contracts read the feed with latestRoundData(), which returns the latest price and its update timestamp. The mainnet relayer contract sits at 0x434F8D17c0301cfEa143dba912972E24B827C968, and addresses for both networks are listed on the RedStone app.
Can RedStone deploy other price feeds on Filecoin? Yes. The chain integration means the relayer and contracts are already in place on Filecoin, so teams can request additional feeds from the RedStone team.

Filecoin 19. října spustí aktualizaci Solstice, která nasměruje více blokových odměn ke službám získávajícím platící zákazníky; nevyužitá část odměn se bude spalovat.
Filecoin [FIL] is down 8.95% in 24 hours, with a 27.3% plunge in daily trading volume and a 9.8% decline in Open Interest. Sometimes trading volume tends to fall during weekends.
The combination of a sizeable price and Open Interest decline showed pessimistic market expectations in the short term.
In other news, Filecoin’s Solstice upgrade (FIP118) is set to go live on the 19th of October. The upgrade will change how block rewards flow and direct a growing share to services that bring paying customers onto the network.
Solstice reduces the share that goes to consensus-only mining, and any unearned service share is burned.
Genesis vesting came to an end on the 15th of October. AMBCrypto reported that the termination will reduce the FIL emissions by 75%. Reduced supply is expected to increase scarcity and drive appreciation in the long term.
Filecoin price trends maintain bullish bias
Earlier this week, it was reported that rising whale demand could keep the bullish Filecoin momentum going. Bearish pressure on Bitcoin [BTC] spread across the crypto market, though there was still potential for recovery.
Source: FIL/USDT on TradingView
Since the local high of $1.276 made on the 11th of October, Filecoin prices have retreated by 17.18%. The price was still above the two key demand zones at $0.95 and $0.80.
The latter area was the one whose breach confirmed a bullish swing structure shift for FIL.
The technical indicators were fairly bullish but signaled a pullback in the short term. The RSI and the MACD were retreating toward neutral levels to show short-term bearishness, but the OBV was still in a firm uptrend that began in September.
Traders’ call to action – Round number support expected to hold
Source: FIL/USDT on TradingView
The swing structure on the 4-hour timeframe was bullish. A session close below $0.985 is needed to flip this in favor of the sellers. Even then, the daily swing structure would still be in favor of the bulls.
Given this context and Bitcoin’s resilience so far above the $80k level, it appeared likely that FIL would continue to defend the $1 psychological demand zone.
Final Summary
The Filecoin Solstice upgrade is a boost for services that bring paying customers to the network.
The short-term sentiment was bearish, but bulls have a good chance of keeping the uptrend going so long as the psychological $1 level is defended.
Filecoin za posledních 24 hodin posílil o 14 %; otevřený zájem na derivátových trzích vzrostl o 17,5 % na 275 milionů USD, což doprovázela rostoucí aktivita velkých investorů.
Filecoin [FIL] climbed 14% in the past day as of writing, with bullish momentum pushing the asset higher on the chart. One of the clearest indicators comes from whales, a group of investors who hold significant capital in the market and can influence price.
Whale involvement in the market rose significantly in the past day, with the Whale Retail Ratio, which tracks whether whales or retail traders are active in the market, rising to around 0.329 on the chart.
Source: CoinGlass When the delta surges and remains strongly positive, as is currently the case, it implies that the asset is likely to continue in its present direction.
CoinGlass data shows that whale positioning on Binance and Bybit has helped the rally. The Long/Short Ratio, which tracks the balance between long and short positions, confirms that buying pressure in the market is significantly higher than selling pressure.
Perpetual metrics support further gains In the FIL perpetual futures market, the Funding Rate has risen from -0.0019% to 0.0102% at the time of writing. A positive Funding Rate implies that long positions dominate the market.
Source: CoinGlass With more long positions in the market, sentiment remains bullish, and the asset is trading in the direction of the bulls.
Capital in the perpetual futures market has continued to expand during this period as the Funding Rate strengthens the bullish outlook. CoinGlass data shows that Open Interest rose by around 17.5%, reaching $275 million at the time of this analysis.
On-chain activity picks up On-chain activity, measured by trading volume across decentralized exchanges (DEXs) for FIL, has also increased.
Filecoin’s on-chain volume surged from $71,167 on the 4th of October, its lowest level of the month, to around $757,092 at press time, according to DeFiLlama data.
A surge of this scale points to increased market activity and adds to the overall price performance, with the potential for further price movements in the near term.
Source: DeFiLlama Another Filecoin on-chain metric also points to momentum that could fuel the asset’s push in the near term, with Total Value Locked (TVL) reaching $3.2 million over the past day.
The asset remains bullish for now, adding to its overall performance and the possibility that the price will remain bullish in the long term.
Final Summary Filecoin climbed 14% in 24 hours as whale activity and buying pressure increased on Binance and Bybit. Open Interest rose 17.5% to $275 million, while the Funding Rate turned positive and DEX volume climbed to $757,000.
Filecoin tento měsíc zavede Solstice, který přesune větší část blokových odměn ke službám získávajícím platící zákazníky; po skončení postupného uvolňování tokenů klesne denní růst nabídky FIL přibližně o 75 %.
Three major developments are reshaping the future of Filecoin tokenomics and strategy this month.
Rewarding Customer Acquisition & Retention – New network reward mechanics will direct a growing share of block rewards to services that bring paying customers onto the network.
End of Vesting – Vesting built into the Filecoin genesis block completes, reducing the daily token supply growth by 75%.
New Products – New products give enterprises, AI agents and IPFS users a live path onto the network.
Filecoin is evolving for a future where digital storage is a core pillar. Global data creation will nearly triple between 2025 and 2029 from a proliferation of AI-driven automation, sensors, and rapidly expanding needs for context to drive intelligence. The pace of these changes have driven memory and storage prices to more than double in a year, and the time between ordering new hardware and being able to install it has grown dramatically.
Other catalysts are also causing huge shifts in the storage market, with growing demand for sovereignty over data. As storage gets scarcer, more expensive, and more location sensitive, decentralized storage is uniquely positioned to meet these demands.
Filecoin has made major progress on the priorities of its 2026 Network Strategy. Six years after launch, the Filecoin network is well poised, offering a model that hyperscalers and other incumbents cannot: an open market where independent storage providers build services, compete for customers, and earn network rewards based on the customers they serve.
“The Filecoin network is already the world’s largest decentralized storage network. This year has been an inflection point for the Filecoin network, with the Filecoin community’s focus shifting away from growing supply and towards scaling demand. This is happening at just the right moment, as AI fundamentally changes the demand for self-sovereign storage, positioning Filecoin to become essential infrastructure for an AI-native world.”
– Marta Belcher, President, Filecoin Foundation
New Incentive Mechanisms: Rewarding Customer Acquisition & Retention
Solstice will change how the Filecoin network distributes block rewards, starting this month. This is one of the most significant changes to Filecoin’s reward system since the network launched.
The change will drive a growing share of block rewards to services that bring paying customers onto the network, while less rewards go to consensus-only mining. Any unearned portion of that service share is burned rather than distributed.
This change is aimed at orienting the network fully around providing services for revenue from paying customers, with the aim to greatly increase the business opportunity for storage providers on the network globally and supporting exceptional storage delivery.
Vesting is Ending, Dropping Circulating Supply Growth 75%
The network’s sixth anniversary since launch also marks the scheduled end of vesting for Protocol Labs and Filecoin Foundation’s token allocations, set when the network launched in 2020. With vesting complete, the daily amount of new FIL entering circulation drops by roughly 75%, according to FilecoinTLDR’s modeling.
Filecoin is Built for Enterprises and AI Agent Developers
Integral Spacetime
Integral Spacetime is a new storage neocloud, launched this week, that leverages the Filecoin network to power its business. The new company’s approach unlocks new commercial opportunities in storage infrastructure.
Acquisitions: Integral Spacetime buys businesses with large storage needs and moves their data workloads onto the network, bringing thousands of paying customers at once.
Equipment financing: Signed customer contracts and recurring revenue from acquired businesses enable financing of new, next generation storage capacity, improving total competitiveness and making the Filecoin network an even better business opportunity for operators around the world.
Fil One
As storage costs climb at the same time that storage needs are growing rapidly, enterprise businesses accustomed to using S3 object storage are looking for alternatives. Fil One is building a commercial onramp for enterprise storage demand within the broader Filecoin ecosystem, delivering high-performance and S3-compatible object storage at a fraction of hyperscaler list prices, with no egress fees on paid plans. The competitive edge is driving an active pipeline of paid enterprise storage demand sourced heavily through a dedicated GTM sales team and channel partners across AI infrastructure, automotive, banking, and sovereign government workloads. Fil One bridges enterprise IT budgets into sustainable, recurring onchain protocol volume while positioning Filecoin directly alongside GPU compute in the emerging neocloud stack.
And we’re building for the AI era, placing storage close to GPU compute in neocloud facilities so training and inference data stays accessible, fast, and affordable with a new storage-for-neocloud offering that places Fil One next to GPU compute.
AI Agent Skills and Tooling
AI agents are becoming storage customers in their own right. They generate a steady stream of output that needs to be kept or shared, and they need to buy storage programmatically, without a sales cycle or enterprise contract.
Filecoin tooling is making it incredibly easy for agents to choose and buy storage directly. Filecoin’s publish skill takes any file or folder and returns a public link that stays live and can be verified. The Filecoin MCP server and foc-cli give agents the same result from the terminal or inside an AI assistant. In each case, a storage provider proves it holds the data, and payment settles onchain. Or, for agents that prefer to use S3, Fil One’s documentation surfaces exactly how to choose and use Filecoin’s high performance network instead of getting locked into an expensive incumbent.
IPFS Migration Tools Converting Customers
Filecoin storage has released features that make it a first class destination for IPFS content in 2026. New, easy migration tools give users a more cost-effective option attached to a wallet, not a user account, with content addressing. Already, several teams are choosing to store their pinned IPFS data on Filecoin, from NFT platforms to institutions with legal and compliance obligations around their data.
A Single Cohesive Strategy for a New Era: Closing the Economic Loop
A customer, whether an enterprise archiving records or an agent storing its outputs, pays for a recurring service, and that payment settles onchain. The storage provider serving that customer earns the revenue and locks FIL against it. Rewards flow toward the services customers keep using, and whatever incentive goes unearned, along with a portion of fees, is burned rather than distributed. The result is a network that becomes more attractive to the next enterprise, developer, and operator, which starts the cycle again.
“The Filecoin flywheel is connected end to end now, and it’s starting to build momentum. We’re still early but the feedback loop between useful storage, customer revenue, network value, and service provider rewards is fully assembled and we have a downhill run ahead of us to build on that momentum.”
– Molly Mackinlay, CEO, FilOz
What Comes Next for Filecoin
The network has made tremendous progress so far in 2026. Data storage is rapidly shifting from commodity service to a fundamental enabling pillar that unlocks the promise of AI. Filecoin’s improved tokenomics, competitive product positioning, and forward-thinking developer tools are propelling the network forward at just the right time to realize the promise of decentralized storage.

Šestileté postupné uvolňování tokenů pro Protocol Labs a Filecoin Foundation skončí 15. října 2026, což sníží roční emisi FIL přibližně o 75 % na zhruba 21 milionů FIL.
Filecoin is about to turn off its biggest token faucet. The six-year vesting schedule for Protocol Labs and the Filecoin Foundation ends on October 15, 2026, and it takes roughly 66.7 to 68 million FIL of annual new supply with it.
At the latest mining pace, yearly additions from vesting and block rewards combined would drop from about 89 million FIL to 21 million. That is a cut of roughly 75%.
What’s actually ending
When Filecoin launched in October 2020, two insider allocations were set to unlock in a straight line over six years. Protocol Labs, the company that built the network, received 300 million FIL. The Filecoin Foundation received 100 million FIL.
Split 400 million FIL across six years and you get the roughly 66.7 to 68 million FIL per year that is about to disappear from the issuance schedule. Once it stops, gross annual issuance is expected to fall from an estimated 88 to 89 million FIL to around 21 to 22 million FIL, depending on mining pace. All of that would come from block rewards.
Storage providers are paid under Filecoin’s dual minting model. That model has two parts: a “simple” component that releases tokens on a fixed decay schedule, and a “baseline” component tied to whether total network storage hits growth targets.
After October 2026, those two components become the only source of fresh FIL. New supply would then represent approximately 2% of circulating supply per year, depending on how many tokens get burned through network fees and how much FIL storage providers lock up as collateral.
Net supply could flatten, or even shrink
Filecoin has two built-in mechanisms that pull tokens out of circulation. Fees burn a portion of FIL permanently. Storage providers must also lock FIL as collateral to guarantee they will keep storing data, which takes those tokens off the market for the duration of their commitments.
Simulations cited in network analysis suggest net FIL growth could decline by as much as 86% to 119% from August 2026 levels by the end of 2027. A figure above 100% would mean net supply actually contracts, with burns and collateral locks removing more FIL than block rewards create.
The demand side is still small, but growing fast
Filecoin is positioning new products to grow paid demand. Those include Filecoin Onchain Cloud and Fil One. Annualized payments through Filecoin Onchain Cloud are expected to climb from $663 in January 2026 to $59,327 by August 2026.
What this means for FIL holders
Traders appear to have noticed the calendar. FIL prices have risen between 10% and 24% ahead of the supply cut, as investors position for less selling pressure from the vesting stream.
For the broader market, Filecoin is a useful test case. Many tokens launched in the same era with multi-year insider vesting schedules. The things to watch are concrete: whether paid usage on Filecoin Onchain Cloud keeps compounding after August 2026; how much FIL storage providers lock as collateral as the network grows; and whether fee burns become large enough to push net issuance toward the contraction scenario in the simulations.

Filecoin za posledních 24 hodin vzrostl přibližně o 13 %, přesto čistý příliv na spotovém trhu činil −356 810 USD. Býčí pozice na trhu s perpetual futures jen těsně převažují.
Filecoin [FIL] witnessed a major rally over the past day, gaining roughly 13% at press time.
Bullish positioning in the perpetual market supported the outlook, but Spot Netflow showed that sellers remained active. That left investors watching whether buyers could sustain the rally, with potential liquidation pressure below the market.
Are FIL spot buyers supporting the rally? FIL’s latest Spot Netflow readings challenged the accumulation narrative.
CoinGlass’s trading-based Spot Netflow tracks buying volume minus selling volume across exchanges. Positive readings indicate net buying, while negative readings indicate net selling.
Source: CoinGlass At press time, FIL recorded $31.61 million in Inflow and $31.96 million in Outflow over 24 hours. This left Net Inflow at approximately −$356,810.
The $31.96 million represented total Outflow within that period, rather than a separate, earlier withdrawal.
Despite FIL’s price gain, selling volume slightly exceeded buying volume across the tracked spot markets. The rally therefore lacked confirmation from positive Spot Netflow. That put the spotlight on perpetual traders, whose positioning leaned more bullish.
How firmly are FIL traders backing longs? FIL’s overall Long/Short Ratio stood at 1.0475, placing buyers slightly ahead of sellers. The reading supported a bullish tilt, although its proximity to 1 showed that the advantage remained narrow.
Source: CoinGlass In fact, Binance and OKX showed bullish readings across most tracked participant categories. Binance recorded more than $255 million in FIL Trading Volume. Retail traders and Whale Accounts leaned bullish, while the Whale Position ratio reached 2.59. Smart Money Sentiment was also bullish.
OKX recorded $130.73 million in FIL Trading Volume. Retail positioning leaned bullish, while Smart Money Sentiment was extremely bullish.
However, its whale readings were mixed. The Whale Account ratio stood at 1.08, labeled neutral, while the Whale Position ratio reached a bullish 1.75.
Source: CoinGlass Buyers retained an edge, but the overall ratio suggested that bullish control was far from overwhelming.
Could FIL’s rally unwind toward $1.05? The Liquidation Heatmap highlighted potential liquidation clusters around the $1.05 region, below FIL’s press-time price.
If buying momentum weakened, a decline toward those levels could trigger Long Liquidations and add selling pressure.
Source: CoinGlass However, those clusters could not establish a high probability of FIL reaching $1.05.
For now, perpetual positioning leaned bullish, while negative Spot Netflow offered a reason for caution. Stronger spot buying could give the rally firmer backing; weakening demand could leave leveraged longs exposed.
Final Summary FIL gained roughly 13%, despite slightly negative Spot Netflow and a narrow overall buyer advantage in perpetual markets. Potential liquidation clusters around $1.05 could intensify selling if FIL’s bullish momentum weakened.
Filecoin spustil nové nástroje pro ukládání dat v IPFS s on-chain důkazem a cenou zhruba třetiny nejlevnější pinning alternativy. Nově lze migrovat existující CID i připínat nová data přes Filecoin Pin, který je dostupný jako CLI, JS knihovna a GitHub Action.
Filecoin was built from day one to persist the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS): cryptographic proof that content-addressed data is actually still there. That's been the idea since before the network existed. Thousands of developers already rely on IPFS to host websites, apps, datasets, and agents, and today new tools make that premise ready to use right now.
Storing IPFS data? You might be paying too much to pin. IPFS doesn't promise that your data sticks around on its own. Nothing on the network is obligated to keep a copy, so most people pay a pinning service (such as Pinata, or previously Infura or Storacha) to guarantee their files stay hosted and reachable, the way you'd pay for web hosting. You can now get that same guarantee from Filecoin: your pinned IPFS data, same CIDs, no changes needed, at roughly a third the cost of the cheapest pinning alternative we compared.
Step one: Meet IPFS → Filecoin Migrate your existing CIDs from any public IPFS gateway.
Your CIDs don't change. Nothing is re-chunked. Every CID stays byte-identical and keeps resolving from any public IPFS gateway. A fraction of pinning-service pricing. $2.50 per TiB per month per copy, two copies by default. You pay storage providers directly, streamed per epoch, with no plan tiers and no minimum commitment. Verifiable proof. Storage providers prove possession onchain on a schedule. You get a receipt with transaction links, and you can check any piece yourself. Your wallet holds it. No signup and no vendor account to lose. The data set belongs to your wallet address. Reading never touches your key. Retrieval works straight from any public IPFS gateway, so your content stays reachable no matter what happens to that wallet. If you're already paying a vendor to pin data you don't fully control, this is a way to keep the same links working while holding the guarantee yourself, at a fraction of the price.
The process is scriptable, too. You can hand a coding agent like Claude Code or Cursor a single line and let it read the migration guide and run the steps itself.
Step two: pin everything new on Filecoin Pin from now on. Filecoin Pin connects IPFS and Filecoin directly, persisting content-addressed data on a verifiable storage network, with no separate migration step required.
It's available now as a CLI, JS library, and GitHub Action, with dedicated migration guides for moving pins from any IPFS gateway, including a command-line walkthrough.
You use Filecoin Pin the way you'd use any pinning service. The difference is what's underneath: proofs run onchain where anyone can check them, and the storage itself is spread across a decentralized network of providers instead of living on one company's servers.
When you pin a file through Filecoin Pin, your IPFS content is uploaded to an audited Filecoin storage provider. Each provider must verify continuous data storage and access. Payments and uptime are handled automatically through Filecoin Pay. If proofs fail, streaming payments pause.
Who's already migrating to Filecoin Teams are already choosing to store their pinned IPFS data on Filecoin, from NFT platforms to institutions with legal and compliance obligations around their data.
Large-scale content platforms. Some products embed IPFS CIDs directly into customer-facing records at a scale where a single point of failure becomes a real production risk. NFT platforms are a great example: metadata and media for millions of live tokens, all needing to keep resolving indefinitely. Moving that volume onto Filecoin trades a vendor's uptime promise for onchain proof and a network of dedicated storage providers. NFTs2Me is a no-code NFT creation platform with more than 2.17 million IPFS CIDs associated with NFT artwork and metadata, now using Filecoin as its storage layer.
"We're responsible for the metadata behind millions of live tokens, and it all has to keep resolving. Filecoin gives us onchain proof that data is stored and available, backed by a global network." - The NFTs2Me Team
Legal and institutional recordkeeping. Some organizations reference IPFS links in legal, regulatory, or fiduciary contexts, where a document that stops resolving can mean a broken chain of evidence. For teams like DI GEA Trusts Confederation, persistence is a requirement. Onchain proof gives them something a standard pinning service can't: independent, checkable evidence that the document is still there, rather than a vendor's word for it. This is what brought DI GEA Trust Confederation storing legal and fiduciary documents referenced in court and tribunal contexts onto Filecoin.
"Our documents get referenced in legal and regulatory contexts years after they're filed, so we need real proof they're still there. Filecoin gives us onchain verification we can check ourselves, which is exactly the guarantee our fiduciary work requires." - The DI GEA Trusts Confederation Team
The infrastructure IPFS gateways sit on is evolving IPFS public gateway infrastructure is changing but whatever happens at the gateway layer, the CIDs themselves don't have to depend on it. Once your data is on Filecoin, it stays stored, verifiable, and retrievable.

Návrh Solstice pro Filecoin chce zrušit Fil+ a automaticky rozdělovat část odměn za bloky službám, které přivádějí platící zákazníky. Poskytovatelům úložiště má ponechat plné odměny za nové sektory a snížit provozní režii.
A new proposal, Solstice, aims to make one of the most significant changes to Filecoin’s reward system since the network launched. It would reshape how storage providers earn rewards and how the network supports services that bring paying customers and data to Filecoin.
The basic idea is straightforward: instead of requiring providers to complete a special approval process to earn higher rewards, network consensus providers would receive full rewards automatically. At the same time, a portion of block rewards would be programmatically directed toward the services that attract customers, onboard data, and work directly with storage providers.
The Filecoin Improvement Proposal (FIP) 0118 is still a draft and is open for community feedback at: Create fip 0118-solstice.md by irenegia · Pull Request #1270 · filecoin-project/FIPs
Background on the Current System Today, Filecoin uses a program called Filecoin Plus, or Fil+. The original goal was to reward storage providers for storing useful, verified data rather than simply adding empty capacity to the network.
In practice, Fil+ has introduced a significant amount of operational overhead. To qualify for enhanced rewards, clients need to apply for datacap, which acts as a credit confirming that their data is legitimate. That process involves reviews, approvals, and compliance checks.
Over time, this has made the onboarding sectors pipeline slower and more complex. It has also created opportunities for gaming. The FIP 0118 argues that Fil+ verification has become a weak signal of useful data, so rewards do not always reach the storage providers creating the most value for the network.
Solstice builds on what Fil+ set out to do, rewarding useful storage, and replaces the verification step with a direct signal of customer activity: onchain payment volume. It supports both sides of the marketplace. Storage providers keep earning block rewards for securing and supplying storage, while a share of rewards goes to the services bringing paying customers to the network.
What Would Change The proposal introduces two major changes.
First, the Fil+ system would be removed. Every new sector onboards on equal footing, earning consensus rewards in proportion to the storage it commits, with no verified and unverified tiers. Existing sectors keep their current power and terms.
Second, a portion of Filecoin's block rewards would automatically be redirected to fund services that help drive paid network usage. Today, block rewards go entirely to the storage provider that wins the block. Under Solstice, part of that reward would instead go to a new role in the network, Service Orchestrators, who are responsible for bringing paying customers to the Filecoin network.
In simple terms, miners continue earning rewards for providing consensus and securing the storage network, while a portion of rewards would also fund the sales, service, and integration layer that brings more paying customers to the network. More demand means more value flowing to the providers already serving it.
The Opportunity for Storage Providers The timing of this proposal matters as much as the mechanics. Several forces are converging in the broader market right now, that point toward exactly the kind of infrastructure Filecoin storage providers have already built.
Data growth is outpacing centralized infrastructure. AI, enterprise, and machine-generated workloads are driving demand beyond available cloud capacity and into new geographies, while power grid constraints delay roughly one fifth of planned data center development. The same AI adoption is also shifting what buyers need from storage: verifiability, provenance, and durability, not capacity alone. Filecoin answers both. Its global network of independent providers added more than 59 PiB of raw storage in a single day, and its cryptographic proofs verify what is stored and that it stays stored.
These trends are already producing real deals. Aurora, an SP, is deploying Filecoin-powered storage across 100 megawatt AI compute data centers in Europe, built for multi-petabyte workloads. 375ai and Akave, another SP using Filecoin, with edge infrastructure across more than 40,000 retail, industrial, and logistics locations in the United States, is using Filecoin backed storage as the durability layer for its verifiable AI data pipeline.
What Solstice does is give the network, for the first time, a protocol level mechanism to reward the service layer that captures this demand. The service stream creates funding that rewards one measurable thing: bringing paying customers to Filecoin and routing their workloads to storage providers. For storage providers, that means the go-to-market work gets done by specialists at scale, keeping them focused on operating their infrastructure, and subsidized by the block reward.
For more on the macro tailwinds shaping this moment, see: Why Macro Trends Are Moving in Filecoin's Favor.
Governance Tiers and Functions Solstice introduces two new governed contracts, the Stream Weights Actor and the Service Rewards Actor, that parameterize the built-in reward actor (f02), which does the actual splitting.
Stream Weights Actor (SWA). The SWA controls how each block reward is divided among streams. At launch there are two: the consensus stream, paid to the winning miner each epoch, and the service stream, paid to registered Orchestrators. The SWA manages the weight schedule: consensus share ramps from 95% down to a 50% floor, and service share steps up from 5% in 5 percentage point increments, but only when quarterly on-chain Filecoin Pay volume clears a verifiable USD target. Whatever share leaves consensus but has not been earned by the service stream is burned. Every discretionary SWA change requires a published FIP, sign-off from both Safes operating the first decision-making surface, and a seven day hold enforced at the L1. f02 itself queues and delays the write, so no weight can shift without the community having time to see and object. Gate step-ups are mechanism-executed and not cancellable.
Service Rewards Actor (SRA). The SRA determines how the service stream is split among registered Orchestrators. Each quarter it computes each Orchestrator's share from their verified Filecoin Pay volume and writes the wallet-to-share map directly into f02, which pays each Orchestrator wallet every epoch. The SRA never holds funds and is never on the value path. It also maintains the Orchestrator registry: which entities are admitted, which (payer, operator) pairs are attributed to each Orchestrator, and which stablecoin and Filecoin Pay contract addresses count toward volume. Registry changes require both Safes operating the second decision-making surface and a cancellation hold, but no FIP.
Service Orchestrators. Orchestrators are the registered entities whose on-chain payment activity drives the service stream. Their protocol interaction is narrow: they register the (payer, operator) pairs whose Filecoin Pay volume counts toward them, post their quarterly volume figure to the SRA in stablecoin and FIL components recomputable by anyone from public settlement events, and receive their share of the service stream each epoch directly from f02. They are not a decision-making surface. At launch a single Orchestrator is registered; the second decision-making surface can admit more over time, with permissionless registration as the Phase 2 goal.
Together: f02 splits every block reward by the current weights; the SWA sets those weights and governs when the service share can grow; the SRA determines how that share is divided based on measured volume; and Orchestrators generate the client demand that justifies the funding increasing over time.
What This Means for Storage Providers Storage providers are the direct beneficiaries as Filecoin’s service economy grows. The shift Solstice makes is about accelerating the demand side of the network that makes providing storage capacity on the network highly attractive.
The most significant community-advocated change is that the Fil+ system goes away. No more datacap applications, allocator reviews, or compliance overhead. Every sector onboards on equal footing with full rewards from day one. For providers who have spent years navigating that pipeline, this alone is a meaningful operational improvement.
The bigger opportunity is what the service stream funds. As that client pipeline grows, so do the deals and direct revenue storage providers earn from serving real customers. Revenue for storage providers increases because paying customers are coming to the network.
For providers running newer storage proof systems; such as Proof of Data Possession (PDP) for hot data and retrieval workloads; Solstice removes a meaningful barrier. Service funding is not tied to any specific proof system. Whether a storage provider runs PoRep, PDP, or whatever the market demands, the incentive structure accommodates it.
At launch the service portion is 5% of each block reward, with 95% flowing directly to miners as the consensus share. Over roughly nine quarters the consensus share steps down on a published schedule toward a 50% floor, opening up more room for service funding. That room does not fill automatically: the service portion steps up only when payment volume flowing through Filecoin Pay clears a verifiable on-chain target for that quarter. When the target is met the step-up executes automatically, no governance approval required. When it is not, the service portion holds and the gap is burned, permanently removing those tokens from supply.
This means the burn rate is directly tied to revenue: as the network wins more real paying business, more of the issuance flows to service funding and less is burned. Every step up is therefore evidence that the revenue opportunity for SPs is growing alongside it, and every missed step tightens supply instead of distributing funds the network has not yet earned.

Coinbase přidává margin trading pro FIL, čímž dává traderům možnost obchodovat Filecoin s pákou na velké americké platformě. Zvyšuje to likviditu i riziko likvidací.
Coinbase is giving Filecoin traders a new way to take risk. By adding margin support for FIL, the exchange is not just listing another feature. It is expanding how one of crypto’s older infrastructure tokens can be traded on a major US-facing platform.
That matters because Filecoin has often sat in an awkward place. The project is tied to a real infrastructure thesis around decentralized storage, but the market frequently treats FIL as just another volatile altcoin. Margin access tends to sharpen that trading identity.
For more details, visit the official Coinbase platform.
TL;DR Coinbase is adding Filecoin margin trading support.The move gives traders more flexibility around FIL exposure.It also keeps decentralized storage assets in the conversation as exchanges expand margin markets. Why Margin Support Changes The Setup Margin trading can deepen liquidity and attract more active traders, but it also raises the stakes. When a token becomes available for leveraged positioning, price moves can become more sensitive to funding, liquidation risk, and short-term sentiment.
For Coinbase, the decision suggests there is enough demand around Filecoin to justify broader trading tools. For FIL, it offers more visibility at a time when infrastructure tokens are trying to reassert their relevance.
Filecoin’s Infrastructure Narrative The underlying Filecoin thesis is still about storage: decentralized data markets, long-term archival needs, and alternatives to centralized cloud infrastructure. That story has never been as simple or as viral as memecoins or AI tokens, but it remains one of the sector’s more concrete use cases.
The question is whether trading access can help pull attention back to that infrastructure angle or whether leverage simply turns FIL into a faster speculative instrument.
The Risk Traders Should Remember Margin support is not automatically bullish. It can attract long exposure, but it can also make shorting easier and increase liquidation-driven volatility. That means the listing is better read as a market-structure update than a directional guarantee.
Still, for an asset like Filecoin, broader access on Coinbase is meaningful. It keeps FIL in front of active traders while the decentralized storage story continues to develop in the background.
A Useful Way To Frame It The useful way to read this story is not as a standalone headline about Coinbase, but as part of the wider pressure building around Coinbase coverage this week. Markets have been jumping quickly from one catalyst to the next, so the cleaner value for readers is in separating the actual development from the instant reaction around it. In this case, the source material gives us a concrete event to work from, rather than a loose rumour or a recycled social-media talking point.
That distinction matters because crypto readers are being asked to process a lot at once: ETF flows, regulatory actions, exchange listings, protocol upgrades, wallet movements, and political signals. A story like this is most useful when it helps them understand where Filecoin fits into that broader map. It does not need to be inflated into a guaranteed price call to be worth covering. It simply needs to explain what changed, who is affected, and why the market is paying attention today.
The caveat is also important. Even clean source-backed developments can be overinterpreted when traders are hunting for a fast narrative. A listing does not automatically create lasting demand, a regulatory update does not immediately settle every legal question, and an on-chain movement does not always translate into a finished sale. The better read is to treat the development as a fresh data point and then watch whether follow-up activity confirms the direction of travel.
For NewsBTC readers, that means keeping the focus on what can actually be verified from the source and avoiding the temptation to turn every update into a sweeping market verdict. The story is strong enough on its own terms: it gives investors and traders another piece of context around Coinbase, while leaving room for the next filing, dashboard update, wallet movement, governance vote, or exchange notice to decide whether the angle grows into something bigger.

Filecoin spustil Filecoin Onchain Cloud, decentralizovanou cloudovou platformu s ověřitelným úložištěm, rychlým načítáním dat a plně on-chain platbami. Na hlavní síť má dorazit v lednu 2026.
[PRESS RELEASE – Buenos Aires, Argentina, November 18th, 2025]
Today, the Filecoin ecosystem launched Filecoin Onchain Cloud, a decentralized cloud platform offering verifiable storage, fast retrieval, and fully on-chain programmable payments. Early integrations are from the ERC-8004 community, Ethereum Name Service (ENS), KYVE, Monad, Safe, Akave, Storacha, Geo Podcasts, and more. The launch was announced at DePIN Day Buenos Aires, hosted by Fluence.
Centralized Outages Expose Crypto’s Dependence
Recent outages at major cloud providers have taken Web3 offline, underscoring its reliance on centralized infrastructure. Filecoin Onchain Cloud offers a verifiable alternative for builders seeking open, resilient systems.
New pressures are also straining centralized stacks. AI systems produce data at a massive scale, governments dictate where it can reside, and on-chain AI agents now need different infrastructure.
A Foundation for Verifiable Infrastructure
Filecoin Onchain Cloud meets that demand by expanding the Filecoin network into a programmable layer for verifiable cloud services, enabling developers to compose storage, retrieval, and payment logic on-chain.
“Filecoin Onchain Cloud brings onchain guarantees like verifiability, programmability, and openness to cloud-scale infra services,” says Molly Mackinlay, CEO, FilOz. “With storage, retrieval, and payments that are all fully composable and auditable onchain, all Web3 dApps, agents, and infra networks can be truly unstoppable. Filecoin Onchain Cloud provides the building blocks applications need for a Cambrian explosion of onchain services powered by the global network of Filecoin service providers. Builders deserve a cloud built on proofs, not promises!”
Filecoin Onchain Cloud emerges from years of collaboration across the Filecoin ecosystem, uniting hot storage proofs, composable smart contracts, and on-chain payments.
Filecoin Pin, its first developer toolkit, persists IPFS content on Filecoin through simple, accessible tools.
At launch, Filecoin Onchain Cloud introduces core services that form the base of a decentralized cloud, accessible through the Synapse SDK. Warm Storage keeps data online with on-chain proofs, Filecoin Pay automates usage-based payments, and Filecoin Beam supports measured, incentivized retrievals. Together, they let developers compose, monitor, and monetize data services.
Early Integrations
Developers and teams are already experimenting with early integrations:
ERC-8004 / Agent0
ERC-8004 builders use Filecoin Pin to store agent identities and metadata verifiably on-chain. Agent0 extends this by pinning all agent data to Filecoin, enabling tamper-proof discovery without centralized catalogs.
“Agent ecosystems depend on verifiable metadata,” said Marc De Rossi, author of ERC-8004 and creator of Agent0. “By pinning agent identity and reputation data on Filecoin Onchain Cloud, we can ensure that discovery and interaction between agents happens on tamper-proof infrastructure. It’s a huge step toward an open standard for verifiable AI.”
Ethereum Name Service (ENS) and Safe
ENS, Safe, and Filecoin Onchain Cloud form an on-chain stack for deploying and governing trustless frontends, with ENS for naming, Safe for multi-sig control, and Filecoin Onchain Cloud for persistent, verifiable storage.
“Using ENS to give names for content and apps on the decentralized web has been possible since 2018,” said Simon Schmid, Developer Relations Lead, ENS Labs. “With Filecoin Onchain Cloud it is now possible to properly incentivize storage and availability at scale in a decentralized way. Super excited to see all the pieces coming together with Safe leading as an example of how it’s done,”
Monad
Through the Monad AI Blueprint program, developers can seamlessly deploy Filecoin Onchain Cloud storage endpoints and build AI systems that are fast, self-verifying, and wallet-controlled.
KYVE
KYVE uses Filecoin Onchain Cloud to durably store Celestia and Story Protocol chain data across decentralized providers. After starting in the Arweave ecosystem, they’re expanding to Filecoin for greater scale and faster validator syncing.
“At KYVE, our mission has always been to make blockchain data permanent, verified, and accessible to everyone,” said Fabian Riewe, Founder, KYVE. “By leveraging Filecoin’s Onchain Cloud, we’re taking the next step, scaling from terabytes to petabytes of decentralized storage. This collaboration brings us closer to a truly universal data infrastructure for Web3.”
Akave Cloud
Akave Cloud is using Filecoin Onchain Cloud to extend verifiable storage from hot workloads into a decentralized backup and archiving tier built for AI, IoT, ML, and compliance data that demands durable, auditable, affordable storage.
“By uniting Akave Cloud’s high-performance, verifiable S3-compatible infrastructure with Filecoin Onchain Cloud’s global decentralized storage network and services, users will gain more flexibility and have the ability to optimize for cost, speed, and durability within a seamless, unified system,” said Stefaan Vervaet, CEO, Akave.
Storacha
Storacha’s Forge offers IPFS-compatible warm storage with on-chain proofs of data possession. It provides high-throughput, auditable storage secured by Filecoin Onchain Cloud’s verification and payment rails.
“Storacha Forge is a new Filecoin Onchain Cloud service making verifiable warm storage radically affordable,” said Alexander Kinstler, CEO of Storacha. “At $5.99 per terabyte, Storacha Forge is built for the petabyte-scale data behind AI and DePIN. By building on the Filecoin Onchain Cloud, we combine cryptographic integrity with unmatched economics.”
Geo Podcasts
Geo Podcasts is built on the Geo knowledge-graph protocol and helps users discover top podcasts. By storing its podcast data, images, and knowledge-graph records on Filecoin Onchain Cloud, Geo Podcasts ensures all information is verifiable across applications.
“We want to make sure that all of Geo’s knowledge graph data is open and available to all,” said Yaniv Tal, Founder, Geo. “Filecoin Onchain Cloud gives users guarantees that their knowledge data will stay around, giving them even more confidence to contribute to the Geo knowledge commons.”
An Open Foundation
Filecoin Onchain Cloud lays the groundwork for a verifiable cloud ecosystem, and ongoing collaboration with the developer community will continue to grow the stack.
“Launching Filecoin Onchain Cloud is a huge milestone for the Filecoin network,” said Marta Belcher, President and Chair of the Filecoin Foundation. “FOC unlocks critical capabilities that will accelerate the Filecoin network’s mission to build a more open, resilient, and verifiable internet.”
Filecoin Onchain Cloud is live on Filecoin testnet today, with mainnet launch planned for January 2026.
