The project raised $205 million in an initial coin offering and initially planned to launch in mid 2019. The governance of Filecoin is in the hands of the community. Cloud file storage services can be created by developers. The native currency of the network is $FIL. The developers claim that they have solved the problem of inefficient file storage. Benet is a computer scientist. After placing an order on the online storage market, a deal is concluded with storage miners. Storage miners get rewards for storing client data. The off-chain Retrieval Market is where clients place their trades. Users pay miners to store their data and place them in FIL. FIL rewards are given to miners. The higher the number of storage miners, the more likely they are to get rewarded. If a client wants to keep their data safe, they need to pay the miner. The price is set by the open market. New technologies and devices are not created by Filecoin. In the fall of 2020, 400 miners participated in a testnet phase called the Space Race, which increased the network data capacity. Storage miner nodes are competing for contracts to provide storage to clients.
