Filecoin officially launched Filecoin Onchain Cloud (FOC), expanding from a "decentralized storage network" to a "decentralized cloud infrastructure".

On November 19th, Filecoin officially launched Filecoin Onchain Cloud (FOC). This marks Filecoin's expansion from a "decentralized storage network" to a "verifiable, programmable, and composable decentralized cloud infrastructure," laying the foundation for a next-generation cloud platform for AI, autonomous agents, the data economy, and Web3 applications.

In response to the recent large-scale outage at Cloudflare that affected multiple internet services, FOC will effectively mitigate such issues through five core modules: verifiable storage (Warm Storage Service + PDP), programmable settlement (Filecoin Pay), decentralized persistence (Filecoin Pin), verifiable retrieval (Filecoin Beam), and a unified developer API (Synapse SDK).

As one of the most important releases in the Filecoin ecosystem to date, FOC is considered a key milestone in Filecoin's transition from "decentralized storage" to "on-chain cloud infrastructure." This change means that builders will be able to truly realize ownable, verifiable, and programmable cloud services and execution models on-chain.
