Online content vanishes all the time. This blockchain storage network wants to end that

A hefty chunk of the internet’s links are already broken. This ‘link rot’ has impacts beyond preventing access to a news article or video, says Filecoin Foundation President Marta Belcher. As so much information, from court rulings to legal evidence, is now stored online, so an inefficient and rapidly degrading internet poses risks for the future of law and the historical record. Filecoin has hit upon a solution: what if, in return for #cryptocurrency remuneration, data centres across the world connected their spare hard drive space to store data via blockchain technology? Marta Belcher outlines the Filecoin network’s vision to return data sovereignty to users - and create an internet that is built to last.
