Quick facts about IPFS & Filecoin

The InterPlanetary File System (IPFS), developed by Protocol Lab, is a protocol and peer-to-peer network for storing and sharing data in a distributed file system. As a star project in 2020, IPFS is in contrast to traditional Internet protocol HTTP. It aims to build a distributed network web 3.0. Filecoin is an incentive layer on IPFS. Through token incentive model, it established a decentralized storage market on IPFS. Host earn tokens by proving storage of files; retriever earn tokens by retrieving files from the network.

At present, hundreds of applications have been developed on IPFS protocol. Over ten billion files have been stored on IPFS network and millions of nodes around the world have joined this network. Traditional Internet giants such as Google, NETFLIX, and Firefox already start to support IPFS protocol. Besides, EOS, ETH2.0 and Polkadot will also use IPFS protocol.

The filecoin mining case is unique. Unlike the usual mining chassis which only need the GPU slot, the filecoin mining case focus on the storage. Before we continue the story, we must know what is the filecoin and how it works. Similar to other blockchain coins like bitcoin, Ether, Litecoin or Ripple, the filecoin was built under the same technique. Whereas, it was not created to exchange with real money, but a token to attract people to join their blockchain storage platform.

Filecoin borrowed the idea to the storage application and used storage power to generate coins. Briefly, if a miner has more active storage capacity, he has more chance to win the priority to rent his storage to the users. He earns the filecoin as his repay and the filecoin is only the token to finish the transaction.

When user storage data under this protocol, the data will be crypted, replicated and dispersed itself to the nodes on blockchain supported by the Filecoin miners. Each node on the blockchain will save a record copy of the storage data. Therefore, the data won’t be lost because it builds a self-healing storage networks which can automatically detecting and repairing replica failures by the saved copies when facing threats.

From the description and the principle behind it, we know the filecoin/IPFS mining case is actually a storage server case. The only different between it and usual storage server case is it is controlled under the IPFS protocol.
