About
Filecoin (FIL)
Filecoin (FIL) is a decentralized storage network designed to create a robust and efficient global marketplace for data storage. Built upon the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS), Filecoin transforms cloud storage into an algorithmic market, acting as a crucial piece of Web3 infrastructure. Unlike traditional centralized providers, this peer-to-peer network leverages blockchain technology to create a distributed system where anyone can participate as a storage provider. The core mission is to establish a permanent, decentralized, and verifiable digital ledger for humanity's data, ensuring content addressing and data integrity through powerful cryptographic security.
The network's security and reliability are underpinned by novel consensus mechanisms: Proof-of-Replication (PoRep) and Proof-of-Spacetime (PoST). PoRep cryptographically proves that a storage provider has created a unique, verifiable copy of a client's data. Subsequently, PoST is used to verify that this data is continuously being stored for an agreed-upon duration. This system of verifiable storage ensures providers are honest and incentivized. Storage miners compete to provide capacity, earning FIL tokens as block rewards and fees for their contributions, creating a dynamic, incentive-driven digital asset economy.
The FIL token is the native utility token that fuels the Filecoin economy. Clients use FIL to pay storage providers for storing or distributing data, and they also pay retrieval miners for extracting it. Storage providers must also pledge FIL as collateral to participate, guaranteeing service reliability and penalizing misbehavior. This tokenomic model creates a self-healing and permissionless market. As a foundational layer for dApps requiring persistent storage, from NFT metadata to large-scale datasets, Filecoin is a key player in building a truly decentralized internet.

What are the common methods to buy Filecoin (FIL) with Bulgarian Lev (BGN)?
To buy FIL with BGN, you typically use a centralized cryptocurrency exchange that supports BGN deposits.

The FIL token is the native utility token of the Filecoin network, essential for its operation. Its primary function is to create economic incentives for reliable data storage. Users pay storage providers in FIL to store their data. Conversely, storage providers must stake FIL as collateral to participate, which is governed by consensus mechanisms like Proof-of-Replication (PoRep) and Proof-of-Spacetime (PoSt) to ensure data integrity and availability. -
What fees should I expect when converting BGN to FIL?
When converting BGN to FIL, anticipate several potential fees. First, a deposit fee for your BGN, which varies by method (SEPA transfers are often cheaper than card payments). Second, a trading fee on the cryptocurrency exchange, typically a small percentage of the transaction value based on a maker-taker model. Finally, a network withdrawal fee, paid in FIL, is required to move your purchased digital asset from the exchange to your personal, secure wallet. -
