Filecoin Launches Onchain Cloud for Verifiable Storage and Payments

Published at 2025-11-19 06:45:24

Filecoin today rolled out Onchain Cloud, a new offering that combines cryptographic proofs of storage with integrated on-chain payment rails. The platform is designed to let developers store data with verifiable integrity while automating payments to storage providers, aiming to reduce reliance on centralized infrastructure and increase user control over data.

The launch matters because it could broaden Filecoin’s appeal to dApp builders and projects needing provable persistence plus built-in settlement. By tying verifiable storage to programmable payments, Onchain Cloud may boost FIL utility in marketplace flows and foster interoperability with other Web3 services. Observers will watch adoption among developers and how the feature competes with rival decentralized storage solutions.
