Decentralized storage network that pays miners in its FIL token to store and prove retention of client data using cryptographic proofs.
Protocol Labs' and the Filecoin Foundation's FIL unlocks end October 15, cutting new supply by about 75%, from roughly 89 million tokens a year to 21 million. After that every new FIL is a block reward to storage providers, so the price case turns on paid storage demand growing into that issuance.

Grayscale research head Zach Pandl says AI-linked tokens rose 54% in September against 24% for crypto overall, with NEAR up 183%. Broken out token by token, the figures show one strong name in a small sector more than a market pricing blockchains as infrastructure for agents.
Reality
Bitcoin traders held $21.9 billion in futures open interest, almost unchanged, while Bitway's BTW token rose 170% in a month. Bitcoin's leveraged longs are still open, so traders closing those bets did not pay for the small-cap run.
Reality
Protocol Labs declined to renew Shipyard's funding, so the maintainers of Kubo, Helia, Boxo and the public gateways stop work on September 30. Anyone running IPFS in production now has a dated dependency.
Reality
A temporary signaling harness in the Python libp2p stack buffered exactly as many bytes as an unauthenticated caller claimed. The fix is three constants and an early rejection.
Reality
A Proxmox 8 GPU passthrough that passed every checklist item still refused to boot. The only signal was an IRQ and vfio interrupt remapping burst in host dmesg, and the reported culprit was an HBA.
