In the next few decades, the core Internet services will be almost completely re-architected, and this will be realized by the blockchain-the encrypted network Web 3., a decentralized network governed by the community, whose functions will eventually surpass the most advanced centralized services. Simply put, Web 3. means that the history of Internet development has entered a new stage, bringing the Internet to a new level. Computer scientists and Internet experts believe that Web 3. will make the Internet smarter and make our life easier.

for the current stage of the internet, Web 1. is the past tense, 2. is the present tense and 3. is the future tense. Filecoin is the first blockchain project linked to practical applications, and it is the storage infrastructure of Web3..

Technology is a revolutionary technology that is most likely to replace the Internet in the next 1 years, and its application is one of the hottest topics in the world. Nowadays, the use of blockchain is no longer limited to digital cryptocurrency. The new decentralized system based on P2P is a new decentralized protocol system, which can safely store transactions or other data. Therefore, blockchain technology has great potential in data protection and privacy security.

On July 11th, 22, the People's Government of Guangdong Province issued the Action Plan for Market-oriented Configuration Reform of Data Elements in Guangdong Province, which is also the first document for market-oriented configuration reform of data elements in China. In the plan, it is emphasized that "data protection measures such as trusted identity authentication, data signature, interface authentication, data traceability and new technologies such as blockchain should be used to strengthen the security protection of computing resources and data resources, improve the data security guarantee ability, and build a collaborative security guarantee system integrating cloud and network numbers.

At present, people have been waiting for the popularity of Web3 for a long time, but it has not been fully reflected due to the demand for the infrastructure of computing, indexing, data management, hosting, storage and other important services. However, after years of construction and continuous growth, many Web3 protocols began to enter its development stage.

why does Web3. need IPFS and Filecoin? Because today's Web has crashed!

A series of problems, such as ubiquitous advertisements, data leakage and data loss, constitute the current network crisis, and Web 3. is dedicated to repairing the above problems.

the middleware layer, which has been continuously built for many years, is now experiencing the beginning of the fit between products and the market. File and data storage networks will also continue to be adopted: the total data stored on Filecoin now exceeds 23PB.

What can Filecoin bring to Web 3.

For a long time, blockchain has mainly played a role in financial transactions and applications with core business logic that can be based on smart contracts. But in most cases, it is not effective for complete local applications or Web applications. These are all because they are oriented to Web 2. and located in a centralized environment. Therefore, for the first time, Filecoin does bring the possibility of making large-scale applications completely Web 3. applications. Therefore, with Filecoin, these types of applications can now be used in Web 3. environment.

the meaning of Web 3. is to decentralize the web, and IPFS will become an alternative protocol to HTTP. The characteristics of IPFS, such as decentralized storage, tamper-proof and information encryption, will realize users' self-control over digital identity and data, and people can participate in voting and dividends, thus realizing the benign interaction between developers and users.

Filecoin is an important cornerstone of building Web3.

Because many preconditions are needed to build a huge Web3. system, among which information storage and file transfer are the most important.

as we all know, most applications need content support. At present, the storage and verification of content are guaranteed by these cloud service providers or storage service providers, but the decentralized network can't guarantee individuals. How to ensure that the stored data really exists and can be read at any time?

Filecoin has solved this problem technically by means of replication proof, spatio-temporal proof and zero knowledge proof. The solution of storage proof makes storage decentralized, and the combination of network decentralization and computing decentralization will lay a solid foundation for Web3.. In addition, Filecoin can solve the problem of data privacy by combining blockchain technology with IPFS technology. Moreover, when the data is stored in the Filecoin network and stored by IPFS technology, the information is fragmented and multi-node. Compared with the existing centralized storage, it can ensure the long-term preservation and security of the data.

Filecoin can guarantee data sovereignty and sustainable value creation, which will play a key role in Web3.. It can be said that both the technology used by IPFS and the functions that Filecoin can realize perfectly fit what developers want to solve and use, and are also what Web3. needs most.
