Start providing storage
Join the network today to make deals, store data, and earn Filecoin.
The Filecoin network achieves staggering economies of scale by allowing anyone to participate as a storage provider.
Hardware to money in a few commands
More rewards for more storage
Earning Filecoin
Storage providers earn Filecoin by storing data for clients, and computing cryptographic proofs to verify storage across time.
Block rewards
The probability of earning the block reward and transaction fees is proportional to the amount of storage the provider contributes to the Filecoin network, and not hashing power.
Filecoin EconomyFast as the speed of light
With the Filecoin retrieval market, storage providers will be rewarded for delivering content quickly.
Similar to a hyper-local CDN, the retrieval market is for storage providers who have low-latency, high-bandwidth connections close to end-users. These well-placed storage providers earn Filecoin for providing files and data at the fastest speeds.

Protect and preserve our human heritage
Filecoin storage providers store critically important public data, such as open access scientific data, historical archives, creative commons media, the public record, and more.
