TechFlow news, November 19 — Filecoin officially launched the Filecoin Onchain Cloud (FOC), marking Filecoin's expansion from a "decentralized storage network" into a "verifiable, programmable, and composable decentralized cloud infrastructure," laying the foundation for next-generation cloud infrastructure serving AI, autonomous agents, data economies, and Web3 applications.
In response to Cloudflare's recent widespread outage that disrupted multiple internet services, FOC aims to effectively prevent such issues through five core modules: verifiable storage (Warm Storage Service + PDP), programmable settlement (Filecoin Pay), decentralized persistence (Filecoin Pin), verifiable retrieval (Filecoin Beam), and a unified developer API (Synapse SDK).
As one of the most significant launches in the Filecoin ecosystem to date, FOC is regarded as a key milestone in Filecoin’s evolution from "decentralized storage" to an "on-chain cloud infrastructure." This shift means builders can now truly achieve cloud-style services and execution on-chain that are ownable, verifiable, and programmable.
