The scoop on changes to Filecoin’s network economics from @martabelcher with @davidgohkstein on The Breakdown

6 years in, Filecoin is graduating from a capacity network to a revenue-generating business network. Cold storage took Filecoin from zero to one. Now the focus is on storage for growing demands of AI and agents. @momack28 gives a glimpse on everything in the works 👇

The Filecoin network's latest upgrade is complete! Now, a growing share of rewards will go to services that bring paying customers onto the network, and that share grows as paid demand grows.

Did you see the news this week? New products and reward mechanics set the Filecoin network up for enterprises and agents. This month: 1. Rewarding customer acquisition & retention with new network reward mechanics 2. End of vesting, reducing daily token supply growth 3. Products for enterprises and AI agents

Plus, Integral Spacetime launched this week. The new storage neocloud plans to acquire businesses with large storage workloads and move that storage onto Filecoin, bringing paying customers with each acquisition.

“The Filecoin flywheel is connected end to end now, and it’s starting to build momentum.” – @momack28

Major developments to Filecoin tokenomics and strategy that go live this month 💫 1. Rewarding customer acquisition & retention with new network reward mechanics 2. End of vesting built into the genesis block completes, reducing daily token supply growth 3. New products for enterprises and AI agents 🧵

The plan, built to repeat: - Acquire software businesses with large storage workloads - Migrate those workloads onto the Filecoin network - Optimize with one shared, AI-native operating team - Reinvest recurring revenue into storage network growth

Compute got its neoclouds. Storage is next. Today, Integral Spacetime launches as an operating company that plans to acquire businesses with large storage workloads and move that demand onto the Filecoin network.

How can you tell a storage provider has your file? On Filecoin Warm Storage, a proof called PDP answers that for all deals. PDP is now in production on Mainnet and on the Calibration test network, and anyone can watch it on the PDP Scan dashboard. pdp.filecoin.cloud/mainnet
