Китайский журналист Колин Ву назвал среди причин стремительного роста цены токена тестирование сдвоенного майнинга Filecoin и Livepeer, сотрудничество с Chainlink и листинг на Coinbase монет Ankr и Storj похожих проектов децентрализованного хранения данных.

The Filecoin mainnet went live on 15 October 2020.

По данным Filfox, емкость хранения на платформе уже составляет 3.6 billion gigabytes. It counts 1,718 active miners, of which only the three largest have more than 2% of the network’s hashrate.

As noted, after the network’s launch in October, media reported a miners’ strike against Filecoin, dissatisfied with the economic model. The project behind Protocol Labs called this information absurd, but subsequently changed the mining-reward scheme.
