At the DePIN Day Buenos Aires, hosted by Fluence, renowned blockchain project Filecoin announced the launch of its Filecoin Onchain Cloud, a decentralized cloud platform offering verifiable storage, fast retrieval, and fully on-chain programmable payments.
While it is still in its early phase, the platform has already seen integration from the ERC-8004 community, Ethereum Name Service (ENS), KYVE, Monad, Safe, Akave, Storacha, Geo Podcasts, and more. The launch was announced at
While recent outages at major cloud providers have taken Web3 offline, Filecoin recognizes that the ecosystem relies on centralized infrastructure. As such, its Filecoin Onchain Cloud offers a verifiable alternative for builders seeking open, resilient systems.
With new pressures also straining centralized stacks. AI systems produce data at a massive scale, governments dictate where it can reside, and on-chain AI agents now need different infrastructure.
Hence, Filecoin Onchain Cloud meets that demand by expanding the Filecoin network into a programmable layer for verifiable cloud services, enabling developers to compose storage, retrieval, and payment logic on-chain.
Speaking on the development, Molly Mackinlay, the CEO of FilOz said;
“Filecoin Onchain Cloud brings on-chain guarantees like verifiability, programmability, and openness to cloud-scale infra services.”
“With storage, retrieval, and payments that are all fully composable and auditable on-chain, all Web3 dApps, agents, and infra networks can be truly unstoppable. Filecoin Onchain Cloud provides the building blocks applications needed for a Cambrian explosion of on-chain services powered by the global network of Filecoin service providers. Builders deserve a cloud built on proof, not promises!”
According to the announcement, Filecoin Onchain Cloud has emerged from years of collaboration across the Filecoin ecosystem, uniting hot storage proofs, composable smart contracts, and on-chain payments.
Filecoin Pin has also taken a key part of the launch, featuring as the platform’s first developer toolkit, which persists IPFS content on Filecoin through simple, accessible tools.
At launch, Filecoin Onchain Cloud introduces core services that form the base of a decentralized cloud, accessible through the Synapse SDK. Warm Storage keeps data online with on-chain proofs, Filecoin Pay automates usage-based payments, and Filecoin Beam supports measured, incentivized retrievals. Together, they let developers compose, monitor, and monetize data services.
Notably, ERC-8004 builders use Filecoin Pin to store agent identities and metadata verifiably on-chain. Agent0 extends this by pinning all agent data to Filecoin, enabling tamper-proof discovery without centralized catalogs.
Marc De Rossi, author of ERC-8004 and creator of Agent0, also commented on this, saying;
“Agent ecosystems depend on verifiable metadata by pinning agent identity and reputation data on Filecoin Onchain Cloud. We can ensure that discovery and interaction between agents happen on a tamper-proof infrastructure. It’s a huge step toward an open standard for verifiable AI.”
Moreso, Filecoin Onchain Cloud forms an on-chain stack with ENS and Safe for deploying and governing trustless frontends, with ENS for naming, Safe for multi-sig control, and Filecoin Onchain Cloud for persistent, verifiable storage.
Simon Schmid, Developer Relations Lead, ENS Labs said; “Using ENS to give names for content and apps on the decentralized web has been possible since 2018…With Filecoin Onchain Cloud it is now possible to properly incentivize storage and availability at scale in a decentralized way. Super excited to see all the pieces coming together with Safe leading as an example of how it’s done,”
Another integration is with 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.
Furthermore, KYVE also 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.
Fabian Riewe, Founder, KYVE commented, “At KYVE, our mission has always been to make blockchain data permanent, verified, and accessible to everyone…By leveraging Filecoin’s Onchain Cloud, we’re taking the next step, scaling from terabytes to petabytes of decentralized storage. This collaboration brings us closer to a truly universal data infrastructure for Web3.”
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.
Storacha’s Forge also integrates the platform, offering IPFS-compatible warm storage with on-chain proofs of data possession. It provides high-throughput, auditable storage secured by Filecoin Onchain Cloud’s verification and payment rails.
Geo Podcasts is built on the Geo knowledge-graph protocol and helps users discover top podcasts. By storing its podcast data, images, and knowledge graph records on Filecoin Onchain Cloud, Geo Podcasts ensures that all information is verifiable across applications.
While Filecoin Onchain Cloud is already live on Filecoin testnet, the ecosystem has scheduled its mainnet launch for January 2026.
Marta Belcher, President and Chair of the Filecoin Foundation, made statements on the launch saying;
“Launching Filecoin Onchain Cloud is a huge milestone for the Filecoin network…FOC unlocks critical capabilities that will accelerate the Filecoin network’s mission to build a more open, resilient, and verifiable internet.”
