Introducing Filecoin Onchain Cloud
Filecoin Onchain Cloud is a decentralized cloud platform that brings verifiable storage, retrieval, and payments fully onchain. Built on the world’s largest decentralized storage network, Filecoin Onchain Cloud transforms core cloud functions into programmable, verifiable, and ownable services.
Open the Cloud
Filecoin Onchain Cloud delivers something no traditional cloud can: verifiable ownership, programmable performance, and an unstoppable future.
You own what you build. Ownership is enforced onchain through smart contracts and programmable payments, so your stack is permanent, portable, and fully yours to fork or scale –– without asking permission. Your data lives across a global network of independent storage providers and not in a single company’s data center, so reliability and control are built in from day one.
You can verify everything you use. Every file is content-addressed — identified by what it is, not where it’s stored — so data can’t be tampered with or quietly replaced. Each action, from storage to retrieval to payment, produces a matching onchain attestation that creates a transparent, verifiable record of your app’s operations. Ship with confidence and know every component does exactly what it claims, verifiably.
You can program the cloud. Logic and payments live side by side: pay only if it’s stored and pause billing when proofs fail. The network enforces the rules, so your team can focus on product and not infrastructure. The result? A self-auditing, self-executing cloud that works for you, not the other way around.
Ready for Builders
At launch, Filecoin Onchain Cloud introduces core building blocks — verifiable warm storage, retrieval, onchain payments, the Synapse SDK, and Filecoin Pin:
Filecoin Warm Storage Service: Powered by Proof of Data Possession (PDP) to guarantee your data is actually stored and available.
Filecoin Pay: Enabling onchain payments for verifiable service performance.
Filecoin Pin: Bringing IPFS and Filecoin closer than ever for fast, decentralized data persistence.
Filecoin Beam: Bridging verifiable data movement across onchain and offchain systems.
Synapse SDK: Connecting builders to Filecoin Onchain Cloud with simple APIs.
What’s Ahead
The future of the cloud starts with us. Let’s open the cloud!

🌎 Community Updates 🌎
FOC Ecosystem Integrations
From AI agents to trustless frontends, leading Web3 projects from various networks are integrating Filecoin Onchain Cloud to make their data verifiable onchain.
ERC-8004: The Ethereum trustless agent builder community is using Filecoin Pin for onchain agent identity, reputation, and discovery.
Ethereum Name Service (ENS) and SAFE: By combining ENS’s onchain naming system with Filecoin Onchain Cloud’s verifiable storage and Safe’s multi-sig governance, projects can now deploy and manage frontends that remain available, transparent, and owned entirely onchain.
Monad: Filecoin Onchain Cloud supports Monad to power decentralized AI infrastructure. As an EVM-based L1 delivering over 10,000 transactions per second, Monad provides a low-latency environment needed for intelligent applications that operate fully onchain.
KYVE: KYVE is using Filecoin Onchain Cloud to resiliently store chain data from Celestia and Story Protocol across a decentralized network of Filecoin storage providers.
Geo Podcasts: Geo Podcasts is built on the Geo knowledge graph protocol and helps users discover top podcasts by topic. By storing its podcast data, images, and knowledge graph records on Filecoin Onchain Cloud, Geo Podcasts ensures that all information is verifiable across applications.
Akave Cloud is harnessing Filecoin Onchain Cloud’s warm storage service to extend verifiability beyond hot storage into a new decentralized backup and archiving tier.
Storacha is launching Forge on Filecoin Onchain Cloud, which delivers IPFS-compatible, high-throughput warm storage with UCAN-based programmable access control and onchain proofs of data possession.
Alpha Builders Cohort
Over 100 early builders have been experimenting with Filecoin Onchain Cloud. Top projects include:
Eastore: A chain-agnostic, decentralized drive that gives users private, client-side encrypted storage and data ownership through Filecoin Onchain Cloud.
Filosign: A decentralized, onchain alternative to DocuSign that gives enterprises cryptographic, verifiable e-signatures stored immutably on Filecoin.
Cha-Ching: Turns GitHub activity into rewards, letting organizations reward developers and AI agents for verified contributions.
Groundline: A decentralized knowledge-graph database where AI and research teams can query, store, and monetize verifiable graph data directly on Filecoin Onchain Cloud.
Cairn: Tracks and rewards reproducible AI research using Filecoin Onchain Cloud for verifiable data storage and Filecoin Pay for impact rewards.
Akave Cloud x 375ai Integration
On November 11, Akave Cloud and 375ai announced an integration that connects edge data infrastructure to Filecoin. The system stores data collected from edge devices in the 375ai network across decentralized storage nodes operating under the Akave object storage interface.
🛠️ Tools 🛠️
Synapse SDK, the Developer Interface of Filecoin Onchain Cloud
Filecoin Synapse SDK is a simple, easy-to-use Javascript SDK for builders to access Filecoin Onchain Cloud flagship services to power new dApps and smart contracts. It lets developers upload, retrieve, and pay for storage using simple, high-level APIs. Synapse runs anywhere from Node.js to the browser, and is designed to be composable and extensible. Build with the Filecoin Synapse SDK.
