What is Filecoin (FIL)?
Filecoin is a peer-to-peer decentralized network for storing, hosting, and retrieving data reliably on blockchain. The network was introduced in 2017 by Protocol Labs, a company that is famous for its peer-to-peer solutions such as IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) and Libp2p. Filecoin was schedule to have its mainnet released in 2019 but had to postpone until 2020.
How Filecoin (FIL) Works
Filecoin incentivizes people to join the network by rewarding FIL tokens to those who provide storage, and those who want to use such storage have to pay FIL. However, miners, also storage providers in this case, have to compete to have the lowest fee.
To verify that the data are indeed saved for a predetermined period of time, Filecoin uses two consensus mechanisms, Proof of Replication and Proof of Spacetime.
How Many Filecoin (FIL) Tokens Are in Circulation?
FIL has a hard cap maximum supply of 2 billion. At the moment, there are 305.9 million FIL tokens in circulation.

An overseas department of France situated along the northern Atlantic coast of South America, French Guiana spans more than 83 square kilometers and is the second largest region of France as well as the largest and outermost region within the European Union. Despite its size, the nation has a very low population density, with less than 300,000 inhabitants, almost half of which reside in the capital city of Cayenne.
In fact, a staggering 98.9% of the French Guiana’s landmass is covered by forests, and the Guiana Amazonian Park – the EU’s largest national park – covers more than 40% of French Guiana itself. This makes the country a perfect destination for those looking for adventures in nature, whether it’s visiting the Zoo de Guyane, taking an excursion to the Devil’s Island, bird watching in the Marshes of Caw, or relaxing on the Rémire-Montjoly Beach. If you also happen to drop by Cayenne, be sure to visit the city’s central market, located near the Place des Palmistes.
The official currency of French Guiana is the Euro (EUR), and with direct support from Bitget, you can purchase Filecoin(FIL) in just a matter of minutes, no matter where you are in the country, from Cayenne to Matoury to Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni. Our exchange offers a series of secure payment options to make trading easier for you, including P2P trading, crypto deposits, and other third-party merchants such as Apple Pay, Google Pay, and different credit card services.
