The Filecoin network is designed to reward participants at multiple levels — from large scale data centers to local entrepreneurs with storage systems that cover the last mile.
Hardware to money in a few commands
Storage providers combine disks and other hardware to win storage deals, store data, and earn filecoin.
More rewards for more storage
No useless proof-of-work here. Storing more files is directly related to winning more block rewards. The more storage you add, the more Filecoin you’ll earn.
With the Filecoin retrieval market, storage providers will be rewarded for delivering content quickly
Similar to a hyper-local CDN, the retrieval market is for storage providers who have low-latency, high-bandwidth connections close to end-users. These well-placed storage providers earn Filecoin for providing files and data at the fastest speeds.
