About Filecoin

Filecoin is a decentralised storage market: clients pay to store data, and storage providers prove they are still holding it through continuous cryptographic proofs. Providers must pledge FIL as collateral against every sector they seal, and lose it if they fail those proofs — so a large share of supply is locked as working capital rather than sitting on exchanges. That collateral requirement, not staking, is the main thing to understand about FIL's supply.

Filecoin transaction fees are small; the meaningful cost in the network is the FIL a provider must lock up to offer storage in the first place.

FIL has a long history of unlock-driven pressure, and its price is closely watched against how much collateral is locked in the network.
