Filecoin to Be Integrated With ATLAS Data
The ATLAS Experiment at CERN has integrated Filecoin-based decentralized storage to manage its vast archive of physics data, which reaches tens of petabytes annually. This integration enables faster and more reliable data access, feeding archived datasets directly into CERN’s compute pipelines—eliminating the traditional delays associated with tape storage.
FIL Info
Filecoin FILUSD is a decentralized storage system that aims to "store humanity's most important information". The project raised significant funds via an initial coin offering (ICO) in 2017. Filecoin is the digital token that is used as payment for storage or retrieval of data within the network. The network uses a unique proof-of-storage system where miners earn more by sharing more storage, and the data they store is constantly verified to ensure its correctness. Filecoin competes with centralized storage systems such as Amazon S3, and allows individuals to monetize their spare storage space on the network.
