Filecoin (FIL) is a decentralized storage network that aims to let users rent out unused storage space. It functions as a peer-to-peer network for storing files, with built-in economic incentives to ensure files are stored reliably over time.
Filecoin's primary function is to provide a decentralized alternative to traditional cloud storage solutions. Users can store their data on a global network of independent storage providers, enhancing data security and resistance to censorship.
The native cryptocurrency of the Filecoin network is FIL. It is used for payments within the network, including storage fees and transaction fees. FIL also serves as a collateral mechanism for storage providers to ensure their commitment to the network.
