The intake for ProPGF Batch 2 has been robust, with over 100 applications submitted. The scope of these proposals is diverse, encompassing areas such as training, developer tools, and sustainability initiatives, as well as essential work in governance, infrastructure, and economic research. Evaluations started in early January, and we are on track to reach final decisions by the end of the month.
Through the use of onchain Proof of Data Possession, Warm Storage on the Filecoin Onchain Cloud guarantees that your stored information remains verifiable for the long haul. All service level agreements are executed directly via smart contracts. Furthermore, developers can easily incorporate this storage using the Synapse SDK, which requires very little initial configuration.
Operating as a key component of the Filecoin Onchain Cloud, @filecoinbeam approaches the retrieval of information as a quantifiable activity. Whenever a retrieval is initiated, Beam has the capability to document the event onchain. These logs provide a detailed breakdown of the interaction, capturing the transfer speed, the total volume of data transmitted, and the success status of the request.
It is clear that the future belongs to autonomous agents. While that is excellent news, we must ask where they will maintain their resources. Where are they going to store their data?
Rod Vagg from @_FilOz explains that Filecoin Onchain Cloud unifies previously separate pieces of the Filecoin and IPFS stack. This integration combines storage, retrieval, and access into a single system that supports real-time application workloads without centralized providers.
In this clip, @momack28 of @_FilOz observes that the Filecoin Onchain Cloud is designed around markets functioning at the smart contract layer. This approach allows for pricing, payments, access rules, and settlement to be determined onchain, resulting in markets that are forkable, programmable, and upgradable.
@AkaveCloud explains that as AI models commoditize, the advantage shifts to data pipelines. Akave focuses on storage solutions that keep pipelines portable, remove egress barriers, and support verifiable data lineage as models change.
The Selection Committee for Filecoin ProPGF Batch 2 has been announced to oversee milestone-based funding decisions across the Filecoin ecosystem.
The committee is set to review 100+ proposals, assessing their alignment with infrastructure needs, and will finalize funding decisions by late January 2026.
.@stefaanweb3 from @AkaveCloud points out that as the migration of customer data onchain accelerates, expectations are aligning with those of traditional cloud spaces.
Filecoin Onchain Cloud facilitates comparable storage tiering and flexibility, with the added benefit of verifiable guarantees.
Early contributors are essential to the Filecoin Onchain Cloud. That is why CloudPaws was launched.
@CloudPaws_NFT serves as an onchain ecosystem identity for early participants helping to build FOC through contributions across storage, retrieval, programmable payments, and developer tooling.
