How Filecoin’s network upgrade sent FIL into a social outbreak

In an official statement released on 31 October, Filecoin [FIL] announced that it had inched another step towards its decentralized storage objectives.

According to the network storage team, Filecoin finalized partnerships with ProtocolLabs, AMD, and Seagate to develop a decentralized network alliance that would make it easy to bridge web2 to web3.

Communicating via its official blog, Filecoin noted that its network had increased eightfold in 2022. However, the recent upgrade would ensure it achieved its 2025 aim of providing 2022 zettabytes of decentralized network storage. Filecoin stated,

“The Decentralized Storage Alliance introduced an exclusive member panel at FIL-Lisbon. In the coming months, it will focus on onboarding a second batch of members and releasing its first specifications. These efforts will form the basis for the formation of new Working Groups designed for specific ecosystem focus areas of 2023”

The master stroke is not all-around thing

With the current on-chain status, Filecoin investors might not catch sight of a FIL uptick soon. In addition, there was hardly the possibility of a market rally.

Nonetheless, the community believes that the recent upgrade was much of a favor to the network.
