What is Filecoin Pin?
Filecoin Pin is a fully decentralized persistence layer for IPFS content using the global network of Filecoin storage providers with cryptographic guarantees.
When you use Filecoin Pin, your IPFS files gain:
Verifiable persistence - Storage providers must cryptographically prove daily that they continue to store and serve your data
Economic incentives - You only pay when storage proofs are successfully delivered and verified onchain
Decentralized infrastructure - Your data can be stored across a global network of independent storage providers
Sovereign data - Choose your providers, audit storage proofs and payments onchain, with no dependency on a single company
Seamless IPFS integration - Continue using standard IPFS Mainnet tooling like Kubo, Helia, and IPFS HTTP Gateways while gaining Filecoin's persistence guarantees
Who is Filecoin Pin for?
Filecoin Pin is designed for developers building on IPFS who need trustless, economically-incentivized persistence for their content. Whether you're building dApps, workflows, websites, AI agents, or other applications, Filecoin Pin provides the missing persistence layer for IPFS.
