Buenos Aires, Argentina, November 18th, 2025, Chainwire
Today, the Filecoin ecosystem launched Filecoin Onchain Cloud. The Filecoin ecosystem has launched Filecoin Onchain Cloud, a decentralized cloud platform that offers secure storage, quick data retrieval, and easy payments all on the blockchain. Early integrations include the ERC-8004 community, Ethereum Name Service (ENS), KYVE, Monad, Safe, Akave, Storacha, Geo Podcasts, and more. The launch was announced at DePIN Day Buenos Aires, hosted by Fluence.
Centralized Outages Expose Crypto’s Dependence
Recent problems with big cloud providers have taken Web3 offline, showing how much it depends on centralized systems. Filecoin Onchain Cloud offers a clear option for creators who want open and reliable systems.
New problems are also affecting centralized systems. AI creates huge amounts of data, governments decide where it can be stored, and onchain AI agents need new types of infrastructure.
A Foundation for Verifiable Infrastructure
Filecoin Onchain Cloud helps meet these needs by turning the Filecoin network into a programmable layer for trusted cloud services, allowing developers to create storage, retrieval, and payment systems onchain.
“Filecoin Onchain Cloud brings onchain guarantees like verifiability, programmability, and openness to cloud-scale infra services,” says Molly Mackinlay, CEO of FilOz. “With storage, retrieval, and payments all fully trackable and auditable onchain, Web3 dApps, agents, and networks can work without limits. Filecoin Onchain Cloud gives developers the tools they need for a fast growth of onchain services, supported by Filecoin’s global network of service providers. Builders deserve a cloud that’s built on real proofs, not just promises!””
Filecoin Onchain Cloud: A New Era in Decentralized Storage
Filecoin Onchain Cloud is a new project that combines the efforts of the Filecoin community. It uses advanced technology like storage proofs, smart contracts, and onchain payments.
Filecoin Pin is the first tool for developers, making it easier to store content on IPFS through Filecoin.
When it launches, Filecoin Onchain Cloud will offer important services for building a decentralized cloud
When it launches, Filecoin Onchain Cloud will provide key tools to help create a decentralized cloud. These tools will be available through the Synapse SDK. Warm Storage keeps data online with proof on the blockchain, Filecoin Pay handles payments based on usage, and Filecoin Beam helps track and reward data retrieval. Together, these tools will help developers build, manage, and make money from data services.
Early Integrations
Developers are already testing the first integrations:
ERC-8004 / Agent0
ERC-8004 developers use Filecoin Pin to store agent identities and information on the blockchain, proving they are real. Agent0 goes even further by storing all agent data on Filecoin, making it secure, easy to find, and not dependent on central systems.
“Agent ecosystems rely on trusted data,” said Marc De Rossi, the creator of Agent0 and the author of ERC-8004. “By storing agent identity and reputation data on Filecoin Onchain Cloud, we can make sure that agents can find and interact with each other on a system that can’t be changed or tampered with. This is a big step toward creating an open standard for trusted AI.”
Ethereum Name Service (ENS) and Safe
ENS, Safe, and Filecoin Onchain Cloud form an onchain stack for deploying and governing trustless frontends, with ENS for naming, Safe for multi-sig control, and Filecoin Onchain Cloud for persistent, verifiable storage.
“Since 2018, people have been able to use ENS to give names to content and apps on the decentralized web,” said Simon Schmid, Developer Relations Lead, ENS Labs. “Now, with Filecoin Onchain Cloud, we can reward storage and keep data available in a decentralized way. I’m really excited to see everything coming together, with Safe showing how it’s done.”"
Monad
Through the Monad AI Blueprint program, developers can seamlessly deploy Filecoin Onchain Cloud storage endpoints and build AI systems that are fast, self-verifying, and wallet-controlled.
KYVE
KYVE uses Filecoin Onchain Cloud to durably store Celestia and Story Protocol chain data across decentralized providers. After starting in the Arweave ecosystem, they’re expanding to Filecoin for greater scale and faster validator syncing.
“At KYVE, our goal has always been to make blockchain data last, be verified, and easy for everyone to access,” said Fabian Riewe, Founder, KYVE. “By using Filecoin’s Onchain Cloud, we are moving forward, growing from storing terabytes to petabytes of decentralized data. This partnership brings us closer to building a universal data system for Web3.”
Akave Cloud
Akave Cloud is using Filecoin Onchain Cloud to extend verifiable storage from hot workloads into a decentralized backup and archiving tier built for AI, IoT, ML, and compliance data that demands durable, auditable, affordable storage.
“By combining Akave Cloud’s fast and reliable S3-compatible system with Filecoin Onchain Cloud’s worldwide decentralized storage network, users will have more choices. They’ll be able to balance cost, speed, and durability in a smooth and unified system,” said Stefaan Vervaet, CEO, Akave.
Storacha
Storacha’s Forge offers IPFS-compatible warm storage with onchain proofs of data possession. It provides high-throughput, auditable storage secured by Filecoin Onchain Cloud’s verification and payment rails.
“Storacha Forge is a new service that makes secure storage very affordable,” said Alexander Kinstler, CEO of Storacha. “At just $5.99 per terabyte, Storacha Forge is designed for the massive data needed for AI and DePIN. By using Filecoin’s Onchain Cloud, we combine secure data with unbeatable prices.”
Geo Podcasts
Geo Podcasts is based on the Geo knowledge-graph protocol and helps users find popular podcasts. By storing podcast data, images, and knowledge records on Filecoin Onchain Cloud, Geo Podcasts makes sure all information can be verified across different apps.
“We want to make sure that all of Geo’s knowledge graph data is open and available to all,” said Yaniv Tal, Founder, Geo. “Filecoin Onchain Cloud gives users guarantees that their knowledge data will stay around, giving them even more confidence to contribute to the Geo knowledge commons.”
An Open Foundation
Filecoin Onchain Cloud creates a solid base for a trustworthy cloud ecosystem. Ongoing collaboration with the developer community will help keep improving and expanding the platform.
“Launching Filecoin Onchain Cloud is a big step for the Filecoin network,” said Marta Belcher, President and Chair of the Filecoin Foundation. “FOC unlocks important features that will help the Filecoin network work towards building a more open, strong, and trustworthy internet."
Filecoin Onchain Cloud is live on Filecoin testnet today, with mainnet launch planned for January 2026.
