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.

Frequently asked questions

  • What is the CHF/FIL trading pair and what does it represent?

    The CHF/FIL pair represents the exchange rate between the Swiss Franc (CHF) and Filecoin (FIL). It serves as a direct fiat on-ramp for users in Switzerland to acquire FIL, the utility token for the world's largest decentralized storage network. This allows them to participate in the decentralized data economy, leveraging technologies like IPFS and content addressing, by converting their national currency directly into this digital asset without intermediate trades.

  • How can I purchase FIL with CHF through a regulated cryptocurrency exchange?

    To buy FIL with Swiss Francs, you'll need to use a cryptocurrency exchange that lists the CHF/FIL pair and complies with FINMA regulations. The process involves creating an account, completing KYC/AML verification, and then funding your account with CHF, typically via a Swiss bank transfer. Once funded, you can place an order on the order book to execute the digital asset purchase.

  • What is the primary function of the FIL token after acquiring it with CHF?

    Once acquired with CHF, the FIL token's primary utility is to interact with the Filecoin network. You can use FIL to pay storage providers for securely storing your data. The network's consensus mechanisms, Proof-of-Replication (PoRep) and Proof-of-Spacetime (PoSt), ensure data integrity and availability. Additionally, FIL is used to pay retrieval providers for accessing data, making it the native currency for this decentralized data marketplace.

  • What are the security best practices for storing FIL after a CHF to FIL transaction?

    After purchasing FIL with CHF on an exchange, it is highly recommended to move your digital assets to a personal, non-custodial digital wallet where you control the private keys. For maximum security, consider a hardware wallet. Always back up your seed phrase offline in multiple secure locations. Avoid leaving significant amounts of FIL on an exchange to mitigate risks associated with centralized platform vulnerabilities.

  • What types of fees should I expect when converting CHF to FIL?

    When transacting from CHF to FIL, you'll typically encounter several fees. First, a deposit fee for funding your exchange account with CHF via bank transfer may apply. Second, the exchange will charge a trading fee (either a 'maker' or 'taker' fee) for executing the CHF/FIL trade. Finally, when you withdraw your FIL to an external digital wallet, there will be a network withdrawal fee, which covers the cost of the blockchain transaction on the Filecoin network.
