So what value will Filecoin have? Some people should know more or less about Filecoin, which is a decentralized storage system in IPFS protocol and the only digital token in IPFS system at present. IPFS keeps pace with the times and is a revolutionary technology in the new era of big data Internet. Under the background of vigorously developing "new infrastructure", a huge amount of data will be generated every day, and the traditional centralized protocol, HTTP, which we are currently using is difficult to adapt to the rapid growth of this data. In our work and life, we often encounter problems such as network congestion, lost web pages and stolen information. The distributed storage of IPFS aims to solve these problems. Therefore, the application scope of IPFS is relatively wide, and the essence of Filecoin is * * * to enjoy economy, which makes it possible for the world to make more effective use of storage devices and networks and reduce the cost of data storage and transmission.
The economic system of Filecoin is designed as deflation mode, which is similar to Bitcoin and has certain storage value. The storage and retrieval market of Filecoin is similar to a completely competitive market system. In fact, this project of IPFS/Filecoin is a data storage project, and its main value income comes from three parts: block reward, storage income and retrieval income. It's still in the early stage, just a reward for opening a block. Compared with the storage income and retrieval income of stored data, the real data storage market income will only be generated when a large number of IPFS entities are put into use in the later period. Now the whole world has entered the 5G era, but in the era when Internet data storage is far from 5G, the efficiency is too low and needs to be reformed and upgraded. IPFS/Filecoin is the biggest leader on this road.
