With Filecoin Onchain Cloud, data is replicated across a global community of independent storage providers, creating a more resilient and repairable foundation.

For Web3 builders, from smart contracts to user-facing front ends, this level of redundancy is critical.

Web3 is reaching meaningful data scale

Filecoin already stores more than two exabytes, and networks like Solana generate hundreds of terabytes each year.

When this data lives on decentralized storage, anyone can re-sync a chain or run a full node without maintaining hundreds of terabytes locally.
