The massive upgrade plan for the decentralized file-sharing protocol Filecoin (FIL) has boosted the altcoin price. Since the start of the project 2022, it has stated that there is a major upgrade plan in early 2023. Meanwhile, it saw nearly seven-fold growth in data suppliers.
Significant growth for altcoin FIL
At the FIL Singapore event on Monday, Colin Evran, co-head of Filecoin development lab Protocol Labs, announced that the network’s storage providers are increasing by 20 percent each month. He said the most activity was in North America, South Korea, Hong Kong and North America. Evran said about 7,000 new developers are currently developing applications on the Filecoin Blockchain.
Filecoin (FIL) is a cryptocurrency that allows users to buy and sell computer storage in a system to store decentralized data and files. Storing blockchain data on networks like Filecoin rather than centralized providers like Amazon Web Services (AWS) is said to help support a truly decentralized ecosystem.
Protocol Labs founder Juan Benet said that 20,000 individual users currently use Filecoin to store more than 50 million “data objects” used to run decentralized applications (dApps). A “data object” is a storage term that refers to a value or set of values that helps any system work.
Filecoin Virtual Machine will launch in early 2023
This reported growth precedes the launch of the Filecoin Virtual Machine (FVM), scheduled for release in early 2023. FVM is a software platform or “virtual computer” that will be used by developers to build decentralized applications (dApps) based on the Filecoin network. Molly Mackinley, head of development at Protocol Labs, said a testnet will be released on November 28. Mackinley added prototypes for layer-2. It was already in the initial testing stages and will allow for a more scalable Filecoin network once released.
Filecoin (FIL) is currently changing hands at $5.66, up 1.1 percent. The cryptocurrency hit an intraday high of $5.88. The altcoin, which is in the thirty-sixth place with a market capitalization of $ 1.6 billion, has increased by 7.6% in the last 7 days. But it is worth noting that the cryptocurrency has dropped from its all-time high on April 1, 2021. The FIL set a record $236.84 on April 1, 2021. Currently, it is trading as much as 97.6% below this level. It also saw its lowest level on June 18, 2022. It is about 17.3% above the record low of $4.83.
