Buenos Aires, Argentina, November 18th, 2025, Chainwire
Today, the Filecoin ecosystem launched <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Filecoin Onchain Cloud</a>, a decentralized cloud platform offering verifiable storage, fast retrieval, and fully onchain programmable payments. Early integrations are from the ERC-8004 community, Ethereum Name Service (ENS), KYVE, Monad, Safe, Akave, Storacha, Geo Podcasts, and more. The launch was announced at DePIN Day Buenos Aires, hosted by <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.fluence.network/">Fluence</a>.
Centralized Outages Expose Crypto’s Dependence
Recent outages at major cloud providers have taken Web3 offline, underscoring its reliance on centralized infrastructure. Filecoin Onchain Cloud offers a verifiable alternative for builders seeking open, resilient systems.
New pressures are also straining centralized stacks. AI systems produce data at massive scale, governments dictate where it can reside, and onchain AI agents now need different infrastructure.
A Foundation for Verifiable Infrastructure
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 onchain.
<blockquote>
 “Filecoin Onchain Cloud brings onchain guarantees like verifiability, programmability, and openness to cloud-scale infra services,” says Molly Mackinlay, CEO, FilOz. “With storage, retrieval, and payments that are all fully composable and auditable onchain, all Web3 dApps, agents, and infra networks can be truly unstoppable. Filecoin Onchain Cloud provides the building blocks applications need for a Cambrian explosion of onchain services powered by the global network of Filecoin service providers. Builders deserve a cloud built on proofs, not promises!”
</blockquote>
Filecoin Onchain Cloud emerges from years of collaboration across the Filecoin ecosystem, uniting hot storage proofs, composable smart contracts, and onchain payments.
Filecoin Pin, its first developer toolkit, 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 onchain proofs, Filecoin Pay automates usage-based payments, and Filecoin Beam supports measured, incentivized retrievals. Together, they let developers compose, monitor, and monetize data services.
Early Integrations
Developers and teams are already experimenting with early integrations:
ERC-8004 / Agent0
ERC-8004 builders use Filecoin Pin to store agent identities and metadata verifiably onchain. Agent0 extends this by pinning all agent data to Filecoin, enabling tamper-proof discovery without centralized catalogs.
<blockquote>
 “Agent ecosystems depend on verifiable metadata,” said Marc De Rossi, author of ERC-8004 and creator of Agent0. “By pinning agent identity and reputation data on Filecoin Onchain Cloud, we can ensure that discovery and interaction between agents happens on tamper-proof infrastructure. It’s a huge step toward an open standard for verifiable AI.”
</blockquote>
Ethereum Name Service (ENS) and Safe
ENS, Safe, and Filecoin Onchain Cloud form an onchain stack for deploying and governing trustless frontends, with ENS for naming, Safe for multi-sig control, and Filecoin Onchain Cloud for persistent, verifiable storage.
<blockquote>
 “Using ENS to give names for content and apps on the decentralized web has been possible since 2018,” said Simon Schmid, Developer Relations Lead, ENS Labs. “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,”&nbsp;
</blockquote>
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.
KYVE
KYVE 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.
<blockquote>
 “At KYVE, our mission has always been to make blockchain data permanent, verified, and accessible to everyone,” said Fabian Riewe, Founder, KYVE. “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.”&nbsp;
</blockquote>
Akave Cloud 
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.&nbsp;
<blockquote>
 “By uniting Akave Cloud’s high-performance, verifiable S3-compatible infrastructure with Filecoin Onchain Cloud’s global decentralized storage network and services, users will gain more flexibility and have the ability to optimize for cost, speed, and durability within a seamless, unified system,” said Stefaan Vervaet, CEO, Akave.
</blockquote>
Storacha
Storacha’s Forge offers IPFS-compatible warm storage with onchain proofs of data possession. It provides high-throughput, auditable storage secured by Filecoin Onchain Cloud’s verification and payment rails.
<blockquote>
 “Storacha Forge is a new Filecoin Onchain Cloud service making verifiable warm storage radically affordable,” said Alexander Kinstler, CEO of Storacha. “At $5.99 per terabyte, Storacha Forge is built for the petabyte-scale data behind AI and DePIN. By building on the Filecoin Onchain Cloud, we combine cryptographic integrity with unmatched economics.”
</blockquote>
Geo Podcasts&nbsp;
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 all information is verifiable across applications.
<blockquote>
 “We want to make sure that all of Geo’s knowledge graph data is open and available to all,” said Yaniv Tal, Founder, Geo. “Filecoin Onchain Cloud gives users guarantees that their knowledge data will stay around, giving them even more confidence to contribute to the Geo knowledge commons.”
</blockquote>
An Open Foundation
Filecoin Onchain Cloud lays the groundwork for a verifiable cloud ecosystem and ongoing collaboration with the developer community will continue to grow the stack.
<blockquote>
 “Launching Filecoin Onchain Cloud is a huge milestone for the Filecoin network,” said Marta Belcher, President and Chair of the Filecoin Foundation. “FOC unlocks critical capabilities that will accelerate the Filecoin network’s mission to build a more open, resilient, and verifiable internet.”
</blockquote>
Filecoin Onchain Cloud is live on Filecoin testnet today, with mainnet launch planned for January 2026.
