Filecoin is a programmable, permissionless network from the ground up with cryptographic verification and global redundancy. Integrate decentralized storage that scales with your needs and safeguards data integrity at every layer.
Filecoin Onchain Cloud allows developers to build composable and verifiable services onchain where storage, pining, retrieval, and payments are transparent, programmable, and interoperable by default.
This provides direct, trustless entry points to the Filecoin network so developers can connect data, services, and applications without running their own infrastructure.
From powering AI workflows to enabling cross-chain data bridges, Filecoin provides programmable, permissionless storage infrastructure.
Archive large datasets, like AI datasets, with cryptographic integrity and global redundancy.
Easily write data bridges that store data from other chains on Filecoin.
Build decentralized, resilient applications with permissionless storage and FVM-powered smart contracts.
Discover tools and applications powered by Filecoin.
Perpetual storage on the Filecoin network, allowing users to store their files long-term at a fixed price.
Developer tools and DeFi infrastructure for building, managing, and transacting on Filecoin.
Learn the basics to start building with Filecoin.
A quick intro to Filecoin's role as a decentralized, verifiable storage network and why developers use it.
Install tools and create a Filecoin-compatible wallet (e.g., MetaMask) ready for development.
Use the Calibration testnet to build safely. Claim testFIL from the faucet and connect via an RPC endpoint.
Upload a file using a storage API or SDK, get a CID, and retrieve it through an IPFS gateway.
Use the JavaScript SDK or HTTP API to store and retrieve files directly in your application logic.
Deploy a simple smart contract to store references to Filecoin data on the FEVM.
Create a minimal dApp with a frontend, storage backend, and FVM smart contract working together.
Learn patterns for NFTs, AI datasets, hybrid cloud storage, and cross-chain integrations.
