1/ Introducing Filecoin Onchain Cloud: an open, verifiable cloud built on content-addressed data, transparent service delivery, and programmable payments. All onchain. No vendor lock-in.

🚀 Launching FilecoinTLDR Builder Challenges! A series of AI-guided Filecoin challenges for beginners, non-builders, and experienced builders alike. Use AI tools like Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or ChatGPT as your build partner to ship real Filecoin-powered prototypes in short sprints. No coding experience needed — just bring an idea and use AI to help you build. Cycle 1 starts now: Build a mini app with one clear Filecoin mechanic. Challenge page: loops.house/filecointldr-bui… Registration: Jun 15 – Jun 19 Submissions Open: Jun 20 – Jun 26 Judging: Jun 27 – Jun 28 Join now and build your first Filecoin app.

Global data center electricity consumption hit 415 TW hours in 2024, growing four times faster than overall demand. The IEA projects it nearly doubles to 945 TW hours by 2030. Filecoin distributes storage across independent providers instead of concentrating that draw.

EU NIS2 classifies cloud infrastructure as critical infrastructure across 18 sectors. Fines up to €10 million and personal director liability for supply chain failures. Filecoin is built for that. Independently verified, jurisdiction-specific, no single point of failure.

Texas projects peak power demand hitting 145 gigawatts by 2031, up from 85 today. Over a third of that growth comes from data centers alone. Filecoin is already distributed across independent global providers. No concentration. No single region bearing that load.

80% of publicly funded scientific research data is inaccessible within 20 years of publication. Not deleted, lost to obsolete storage, and expired email addresses. @SETIInstitute stores its astronomical research data on Filecoin. Verified daily. Always accessible.

DORA classifies single-provider cloud reliance as a concentration risk, fines up to 2% of worldwide turnover across 22,200 EU financial entities. Vendor lock-in is a balance sheet liability. Filecoin diversification is architectural, not contractual.

UK grid connection demand for data centers surged 460% in a single 6-month period in 2025. The queue is so severe the government intervened to purge non-viable projects just to clear the backlog. Filecoin capacity is distributed across global providers. No queue, no wait.

Nearly 2,300 gigawatts of generation and storage are stuck in US interconnection queues, more than the entire installed capacity of the US power grid. The Filecoin network is already distributed across independent providers wherever power is available. No queue required.

🧵80% of publicly funded scientific data is gone within 20 years TL;DR: Odds of finding a dataset fall 17% per year. Moving 5PB off AWS costs $450K in egress. SETI, Cornell, Internet Archive store on Filecoin. The scientific record needs verifiable infrastructure.

🧵Akave April engineering cycle TL;DR: Akave rebuilt multipart uploads, tightened AWS IAM compatibility, and introduced streaming transfer pipelines for AI workloads. $14.99/TB, zero egress. Production-grade infrastructure is catching up to the price.
