Filecoin為什麼在主網沒有上線前就成為區塊鏈、技術界關注的大熱點？就有幾十家加密數字貨幣平臺上了FIL期貨？第一，這跟2017年ICO吸引了包括紅杉資本等全球頂級的投資機構參與有極大的關係；第二，這個項目的實體落地技術IPFS的大名鼎鼎的PL官方實驗室成員也很重要。一個旨在存儲人類社會最重要信息的分布式網絡，作為下一代網際網路傳輸技術的革命項目，聚集了大數據產業、區塊鏈、數據存儲、雲計算、邊緣計算、人工智慧、網際網路等高科技最前沿的技術。
Why did Filecoin become a hot spot in blockchain and technology circles before the main network went online? There are dozens of encrypted digital cash platforms on FIL Futures. First, this has a great relationship with ICO attracting the participation of the world's top investment institutions including Sequoia Capital in 2017; Second, the famous PL official laboratory members of the physical landing technology IPFS of this project are also very important. A distributed network, which aims to store the most important information of human society, is a revolutionary project of the next generation Internet transmission technology, which gathers high-tech cutting-edge technologies such as big data industry, blockchain, data storage, cloud computing, edge computing, artificial intelligence, and the Internet.
IPFS-星際文件系統
IPFS- interstellar file system
星際文件系統IPFS(InterPlanetary File System)是一個去中心化的、點對點的分布式版本文件系統，目標是取代目前統治網際網路的超文本傳輸協議(HTTP)，將全部裝有IPFS文件系統的計算設備連接在一起。
IPFS(InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) is a decentralized, point-to-point distributed version file system. Its goal is to replace Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), which currently dominates the Internet, and connect all computing devices with IPFS file system.
它使用基於內容尋址的方式替代基於域名尋址的方式，即用戶搜索的不是某個IP位址，而是直接搜索內容本身，系統不需要驗證發送者的身份，只需驗證請求內容對應的哈希值，這樣做，能讓Web速度更快，更安全、更健壯。
It uses content-based addressing instead of domain name-based addressing, that is, the user searches directly for the content itself instead of an IP address. The system does not need to verify the identity of the sender, but only needs to verify the hash value corresponding to the requested content. By doing so, the Web can be faster, safer and more robust.
Filecoin-文件幣（檔案幣）
Filecon-document currency (file currency)
Filecoin (簡稱FIL) 是一種基於IPFS網絡而創建的數字貨幣，中文名叫文件幣。Filecoin是建立於IPFS網絡上的一個激勵層，是用於獎勵Filecoin礦工的挖礦動作，或支付IPFS網絡中交易所產生的費用。用戶在IPFS網絡裡存儲或查詢數據，都需要支付一定的Filecoin token，而礦工則是：提供存儲空間、或查詢數據服務(即檢索數據)，礦工賺取用戶們的Filecoin，這就是所謂激勵層的含義。
Filecon (FIL for short) is a digital cash based on IPFS network, whose Chinese name is Filecoin. Filecon is an incentive layer established on the IPFS network, which is used to reward the miners of Filecon for their mining activities or pay the expenses incurred by the transactions in the IPFS network. Users need to pay a certain amount of Filecoin token to store or query data in IPFS network, while miners provide storage space or query data service (i.e., retrieve data), and miners earn users' Filecoin, which is the meaning of the so-called incentive layer.
一、有哪些頂級機構投資了IPFS&Filecoin？
I. which top institutions have invested in IPFS&Filecoin?
2017年8月，Filecoin完成了2.57億美金的募資，創下了當時全球區塊鏈早期項目融資記錄，吸引了全球眾多區塊鏈愛好者、投資者以及礦工的關注。而這次募資僅出售10%的代幣，這意味著Filecoin那時還未上線，估值就已經達到25.7億美金，躋身市值排名前十的主流加密貨幣。 下面，我們詳細介紹下素有史上最強ICO、區塊鏈3.0、下一個千億金礦之稱的Filecoin的融資詳情，看看它為何有如此大的吸引力。
In August, 2017, Filecoin completed the fundraising of USD 257 million, which set a record for the early project financing of global blockchain at that time and attracted the attention of many blockchain enthusiasts, investors and miners around the world. This time, only 10% of tokens were sold, which means that Filecoin was not online at that time, and its valuation had reached 2.57 billion US dollars, ranking among the top ten mainstream cryptocurrencies in market value. Below, we will introduce in detail the financing details of Filecoin, which is known as the strongest ICO in history, blockchain 3.0 and the next 100 billion gold mine, to see why it is so attractive.
Filecoin項目基本情況
Basic information of Filecoin project
發行總量：20億枚融資主體：協議實驗室（Protocol Lab）公司屬地：美國核心業務：基於區塊鏈的分布式數據存儲。
Total amount issued: 2 billion pieces; financing subject: Protocol Lab; company territory: core business in the United States: distributed data storage based on blockchain.
代幣分發機制
Token distribution mechanism
Filecoin項目本身具備一條公鏈的元素，其發行的Token就叫FileCoin，符號是：FIL，代幣總量為20億枚，其分配方案如下：
The Filecoin project itself has a public chain element, and its issued Token is called FileCoin, the symbol is FIL, and the total number of tokens is 2 billion, and its distribution scheme is as follows:
礦工70%（即14億枚），通過區塊獎勵的方式線性釋放，每6年減半
70% of miners (i.e., 1.4 billion) are released linearly through block rewards, which are halved every six years
團隊15%（即3億枚），作為協議實驗室團隊的研發及運營費用，按6年線性釋放；
15% of the team (that is, 300 million pieces), as the R&D and operation expenses of the protocol laboratory team, is released linearly for 6 years;
投資人10%（即2億枚），分配給參與私募與公募的投資者，按6-36個月線性釋放；
10% of investors (200 million) are allocated to investors who participate in private placement and public offering, and are released linearly in 6-36 months;
基金會5%（即1億枚），作為長期社區建設，網絡管理等費用，按6年線性釋放；
我們都知道，比特幣是每4年減半的機制（每生成210000個區塊，產量將減半一次），而Filecoin則是線性遞減釋放的機制，每6年剛好產量減半，這能夠保障Filecoin數量和價格的平滑過渡，這也是協議實驗室經過精密的思考和設計，所確定的非常具有誠意以及合理性的代幣分發機制。
5% (that is, 100 million pieces) of foundations, as long-term community construction, network management and other expenses, are released linearly for 6 years;
As we all know, Bitcoin is a mechanism of halving every four years (the output will be halved once every 210,000 blocks are generated), while Filecon is a mechanism of linear decreasing release, and the output will be halved every six years, which can guarantee a smooth transition between the quantity and price of Filecon, which is also a token distribution mechanism with sincerity and rationality determined by the protocol laboratory after careful thinking and design.

從http到IPFS技術的迭代在向前發展，每次大的革命都要成就一大批早期的參與者。IPFS&Filecoin全新網際網路時代的到來，將會給世界帶來更多難得的發展機遇
The iteration from http to IPFS technology is developing forward, and every great revolution must achieve a large number of early participants. The arrival of the new Internet era of IPFS&Filecoin will bring more rare development opportunities to the world
IPFS/Filecoin的經濟價
Filecoin的總量是20億枚，並且是恆量的而且永不增發，那麼這樣的好處就是迴避了通脹的風險。這20億枚Filecoin是怎樣分配的呢？這其中基金會持有5%，ICO私募加公募共佔去10%，官方開發團隊則持有15%，剩餘的70%就會全部留給廠商，這70%就用於激勵廠商和為網絡提供服務，這就和廠商的收益是息息相關的。
The total number of Filecoin is 2 billion, which is constant and will never be issued, so the advantage is to avoid the risk of inflation. How are these 2 billion Filecoin distributed? Among them, the foundation holds 5%, ICO private placement and public offering accounts for 10%, the official development team holds 15%, and the remaining 70% will be reserved for the manufacturers, and the 70% will be used to motivate the manufacturers and provide services for the network, which is closely related to the profits of the manufacturers.
第一個特點：無預挖，每一枚Filecoin的誕生全部是要依靠廠商的機器出來的，這樣的設計有兩個好處，首先主網上線前市場上是沒有流通的Filecoin的，也就說沒有莊家，所以迴避了主網上線後破發的可能性。因為基於供需關係，同時也可以保證幣價的穩步上漲。
The first characteristic: there is no pre-digging, and the birth of each Filecoin depends on the manufacturer's machine. This design has two advantages. First, there is no circulating Filecoin in the market before the main online, that is to say, there is no banker, so the possibility of breaking after the main online is avoided. Because based on the relationship between supply and demand, it can also ensure the steady rise of currency price.
第二個特點：基金會、ICO和開發團隊所持有的30%的Filecoin，都在6年內線性釋放，唯獨礦工的那70%是可以按照一定的要求進行交易。
The second characteristic: 30% of Filecoin held by foundation, ICO and development team is released linearly within 6 years, and only 70% of miners can trade according to certain requirements.
在Filecoin網絡上廠商其實是分為三種角色的，他們分別是存儲廠商、檢索廠商，還有修復廠商。但是由於Filecoin網絡在前期很長的一段時間裡，網絡上其實是以存儲廠商為主的，另外兩種礦工它所佔的比重極低
On Filecoin network, vendors are actually divided into three roles, they are storage vendors, retrieval vendors and repair vendors. However, for a long time in the early stage of Filecoin network, the network was mainly based on storage manufacturers, and the other two miners accounted for a very low proportion
IPFS/Filecoin的前景如何？
What is the future of IPFS/Filecoin?
IPFE/Filecoin的市場前景，幾乎可以等同於未來網際網路的價值。因為網際網路整個建立的地基就是數據存儲，也就是說數據存儲是整個網際網路大廈的根基。
The market prospect of IPFE/Filecoin is almost equal to the value of internet in the future. Because the whole foundation of the Internet is data storage, that is to say, data storage is the foundation of the whole Internet building.
其實很多領域都是網際網路技術，或者說都是建立在數據存儲之上的，比如說AI、人工智慧。我們說人工智慧之所以可以智能，其實就是依靠大數據進行深度分析來獲得的。如果沒有數據，其實它就只是人工製造而已。
In fact, many fields are Internet technologies, or they are all based on data storage, such as AI and artificial intelligence. We say that the reason why artificial intelligence can be intelligent is to rely on big data for deep analysis. If there is no data, in fact, it is just artificial manufacture.
IPFS/Filecoin目前狀況如何？
What is the current status of IPFS/Filecoin?
經過七年時間發展，IPFS 存儲網絡目前已成長為全球性的分布式存儲選擇，而 Filecoin 區塊鏈主網於今年2020年10月15日 已正式上線。目前可驗證存儲已經超過1.678EB，相當於3億部1080P高清電影，整個Internet存檔的20個副本。
After seven years of development, the IPFS storage network has grown into a global distributed storage option, and the main network of Filecoin blockchain was officially launched on October 15, 2020. At present, the verifiable storage has exceeded 1.678EB, which is equivalent to 300 million 1080P HD movies and 20 copies of the entire Internet archive.
IPFS有哪些應用？
What are the applications of IPFS?
據統計，在 2019 年，IPFS 公共網絡增長了 30 倍，谷歌瀏覽器、火狐瀏覽器、D.Tube、IPWB、以太坊、Origin 等加入了 IPFS 網絡，如今，IPFS 正在以 EB的速度，為全世界存儲有效數據。
According to statistics, in 2019, the public network of IPFS increased by 30 times, and Google browser, Firefox browser, D.Tube, IPWB, Ethereum and Origin joined the IPFS network. Now, IPFS is storing valid data for the whole world at the speed of EB.
開發人員繼續為開源協議做出貢獻，用戶繼續將文件上傳到 IPFS，dApp 開發人員繼續利用其網絡來存儲數據。在短短四年多的時間裡，IPFS 已將自己確立為分散式 Web 的關鍵基礎架構。目前已有多個成熟的應用基於 IPFS 落地，包括 OpenBazaar 商店、Brave 瀏覽器、Peerpad 協作編輯器等。
Developers continue to contribute to open source protocols, users continue to upload files to IPFS, and dApp developers continue to use their networks to store data. In just over four years, IPFS has established itself as the key infrastructure of distributed Web. At present, there are many mature applications based on IPFS, including OpenBazaar store, Brave browser, Peerpad collaboration editor and so on.
目前IPFS/Filecoin挖礦收益怎麼樣？
At present, what's the profit of IPFS/Filecoin mining?
IPFS/Filecoin挖礦不像傳統的比特幣依靠算力證明挖礦那麼簡單，IPFS/Filecoin挖礦的過程就是存儲數據的過程，要通過各種方式保證用戶數據的安全。所以IPFS/Filecoin挖礦還是比較複雜的，普通個人很難簡單的買一臺礦機就可以獨立參與。目前IPFS/Filecoin挖礦的方式主要是依靠有技術和運維實力的礦機廠商，個人可以購買獨立集群並支付運維費；其次就是直接購買礦機廠商的雲算力參與挖礦。
IPFS/Filecoin mining is not as simple as traditional bitcoin relying on computing power to prove mining. the mining process of IPFS/Filecoin is the process of storing data, and it is necessary to ensure the safety of user data by various means. Therefore, mining by IPFS/Filecoin is quite complicated, and it is difficult for ordinary individuals to buy a mining machine and participate independently. At present, the mining method of IPFS/Filecoin mainly relies on mining machine manufacturers with technical and operation and maintenance strength, and individuals can purchase independent clusters and pay operation and maintenance fees; Secondly, it directly buys the cloud computing power of mining machine manufacturers to participate in mining.
Filecoin的市值和幣價預測
Market value and currency price forecast of Filecoin
首先來看Filecoin的市值，這個市值是多少呢？是70億美金，可能您很好奇這個數字是怎麼得來的，這個數據其實是通過簡單的計算就可以得知的，以20億枚這個總量乘以3.5美金，這3.5美金就是私募和公募的均價，我們可以得出是70億美金，也就是說Filecoin的市值是70億美金。接下來我給大家說一下，大家最關心的Filecoin的幣價預測。
Let's first look at the market value of Filecoin. What is the market value? It's $7 billion. Maybe you're curious how this figure came from. This figure can be known by simple calculation. Multiply the total amount of 2 billion pieces by $3.5, which is the average price of private placement and public offering. We can get that it's $7 billion, which means the market value of Filecoin is $7 billion. Next, I will tell you about the currency price forecast of Filecoin, which everyone is most concerned about.
其實關於幣價預測，有一個嘉賓也是在這個會議上預測，說Filecoin在一年左右可能會達到3000美金，當然這是一個美好的期望。但對於我個人來說，我覺得幣價預測一定要保守和謹慎。
Actually, regarding the currency price forecast, a guest also predicted at this meeting that Filecoin might reach 3,000 US dollars in a year or so. Of course, this is a good expectation. But personally, I think the currency price forecast must be conservative and cautious.
那我們閒話少敘，我這邊給三個價格，第一個價是起始價24塊錢，這個數字是怎麼得來的呢？其實這個就是私募和公募的均價，也就是主網上線後它最開始的價格是24元，也就是起始價，那麼可能有的朋友問了，那主網上線後會不會低於24塊錢呢？
Then let's gossip less. I'll give three prices here. The first price is the starting price of 24 yuan. How did this figure come from? In fact, this is the average price of private placement and public offering, that is, the initial price after the main online line is 24 yuan, that is, the starting price, so some friends may ask, will it be less than 24 yuan after the main online line?
這個概率幾乎沒有，因為前面我們講這個代幣分發機制的時候，我們說它無預挖，無預挖市場上就沒有幣也就沒有莊家，所以就迴避了破發的可能性。所以24塊錢是Filecoin主網上線後的價格起點，就是第一個價是24元。接下來我要給大家的第二個價格是悲觀價，悲觀價是多少呢？是240元。
This probability is almost impossible, because when we talked about this token distribution mechanism earlier, we said that it had no pre-excavation. Without pre-excavation, there would be no money and no banker in the market, so we avoided the possibility of breaking. Therefore, 24 yuan is the starting point of the price after the main online line of Filecoin, that is, the first price is 24 yuan. Next, the second price I want to give you is the pessimistic price. What is the pessimistic price? It's 240 yuan.
這個數字是怎麼得來的，其實很簡單，我們簡單地認為Filecoin是十倍幣，也不管IPFS技術多牛，市場宣傳有多好，共識有多高，落地有多廣泛等等，我們都拋開不談，我只認為它是10倍幣。所以它的價格就是24×10是240元。因此我們定義出第一個區，價格區間是24~240元。
In fact, how to get this number is very simple. We simply think that Filecoin is ten times the currency, and no matter how good the IPFS technology is, how good the marketing propaganda is, how high the consensus is, how wide the landing is, etc., we all put aside, I only think it is ten times the currency. So its price is 24×10, which is 240 yuan. Therefore, we define the first zone, and the price range is 24~240 yuan.
好，這第一區間我把它稱之為「淺水區」，或者說是「實體小白區」。如果您是做實體的，之前對於幣圈不太熟悉，沒有見過比特幣這種爆發式的增長，也沒有見過94（2017年9月4日）後國家一刀切，之後幣價的一個大瀑布，沒有經歷過這種過山車式的幣價漲幅，我覺得您還是保守一點，就把這個心理價位定義在第一個區間，降低對幣價的期待，那麼生活給你的處處都是驚喜。所以第一個區間是24~240元，是給實體行業的朋友，或者說是風險偏好極低的朋友，您是在這個價格區間來選取。
Ok, I call this first interval "shallow water area", or "solid white area". If you are an entity, you are not familiar with the currency circle before, have never seen the explosive growth of Bitcoin, and have never seen the national one-size-fits-all policy after 94 (September 4, 2017), and have never experienced such a roller coaster-style currency price increase. I think you should be conservative and define this psychological price in the first interval to lower your expectation for the currency price, so life will give you surprises everywhere. Therefore, the first range is 24~240 yuan, which is for friends in the real industry or friends with extremely low risk preference. You choose in this price range.
接下來我要給大家第三個價格，第三個價是市場價，它是多少？是1800元，這個數字其實是經過計算得來的。我們根據2018年存儲市場總值是2100億，然後假如兩年Filecoin佔據整個市值的10%，我們再除以兩年的Filecoin流通總量1.1億枚，再乘以兩倍的泡沫。經過計算我們得知市場價是1800元以內，於是悲觀價240元和市場價1800元，又定義出了第二個區間，我把它稱之為「中水區」或者「韭菜區」。當然這個韭菜是指我們炒幣者對自己的一種自嘲和調侃。所以經常炒幣的朋友可以在240~1800元之間做選擇。
Next, I will give you the third price. The third price is the market price. What is it? It is 1800 yuan, which is actually calculated. According to 2018, the total value of the storage market is 210 billion yuan, and then if Filecoin accounts for 10% of the total market value in two years, we divide it by the total circulation of Filecoin in two years, and multiply it by twice the bubble. After calculation, we know that the market price is less than 1,800 yuan, so the pessimistic price of 240 yuan and the market price of 1,800 yuan define a second interval, which I call "middle water area" or "leek area". Of course, this leek refers to a kind of self-mockery and ridicule by our money speculators. Therefore, friends who often fry coins can choose between 240 and 1800 yuan.
最後是1800元以上的這部分，我把它定義為「深水區」，就一些骨灰級的炒幣者，比如說一些資方風投機構等等，他們對IPFS有充分的調查或了解，或者說對IPFS和Filecoin有足夠的信仰。這些人他們可以在1800元以上去定價。三個價格點定義出三個區間，您根據自己的情況對號入座，選取一個合適的價格區間，從而定義出一個合適的心理價位。
Finally, I define it as the "deep water area". As for some hardcore speculators, such as some capital venture capital institutions, they have sufficient investigation or understanding of IPFS, or have enough faith in IPFS and Filecoin. These people, they can set prices above 1800 yuan. Three price points define three intervals. You can choose a suitable price interval according to your own situation, thus defining a suitable psychological price.
那麼知道了幣價的預測，還需要一個變量，你就知道這個自己的收益了。那就是每天1T的產幣量，1T預估是每天產0.1枚—0.15枚。您自己心裡的價格，再乘以每T的產量，你就知道了自己每天的收益。進而你也知道自己的年收益和回本周期了。
Then, knowing the forecast of currency price, you need a variable, and you will know your own income. That is the amount of money produced by 1T every day, which is estimated to be 0.1-0.15 pieces per day. If you multiply your own price by the output per t, you will know your daily income. Then you know your annual income and return to this cycle.
那接下來我們再來談一個非常重要的板塊，就是誰會從廠商手裡買幣？為什麼這個板塊很重要？我們想一下，自己定這個心理價格再高，或者說你的產幣量再多，如果市場上沒有人從您手裡買幣，那我們的這個Filecoin是不是就一文不值了？甚至我們的機器是不是也就一文不值了？所以接下來我們來看一下誰會從廠商手裡買幣？
Then let's talk about a very important section, that is, who will buy coins from manufacturers? Why is this plate important? Let's think about it. The higher the psychological price, or the more money you produce. If no one in the market buys money from you, will our Filecoin be worthless? Even our machines are worthless? So let's take a look at who will buy money from the manufacturer.
簡單說，從廠商手裡買幣的是4類角色。第一個是企業用戶，第二個是個人用戶，第三是炒幣者以及資方，第四是新廠商會從老礦工手裡買幣。那我們逐一來解釋一下。
Simply put, there are four types of roles that buy coins from manufacturers. The first is enterprise users, the second is individual users, the third is money speculators and employers, and the fourth is that new manufacturers will buy money from old miners. Let's explain them one by one.
企業用戶，也就是我們常說的B端。這些企業用戶包含哪些？按照時間發展的順序，第一個一定是區塊鏈相關企業，第二個就是成本敏感型企業，比如說視頻平臺、短視頻平臺、直播平臺、音樂平臺、圖片平臺等等。第三就是內容敏感性企業。第四個就是傳統企業。比如寶馬、谷歌、火狐瀏覽器，還有就是市政項目。最後用IPFS和Filecoin的企業一定是超大型的項目，比如說天文、地質、氣象、軍事等等，他們一定是最後進入IPFS這個行業裡。
Enterprise users, that is, what we often call B-side. What are these enterprise users? According to the order of time development, the first one must be a blockchain-related enterprise, and the second one is a cost-sensitive enterprise, such as video platform, short video platform, live broadcast platform, music platform, picture platform and so on. The third is content sensitive enterprises. The fourth is the traditional enterprise. For example, BMW, Google, Firefox, and municipal projects. The enterprises that use IPFS and Filecoin in the end must be super-large projects, such as astronomy, geology, meteorology, military affairs, etc., and they must be the last to enter the IPFS industry
個人用戶就不用說了，如果我們個人用戶想用效率更高，數據更安全，隱私度更高，或者說成本更低的雲盤或者網站服務，個人用戶就需要從廠商手裡買幣。第三就是炒幣者和資方，這一點咱們不再贅述。最後我們來看，新廠商為什麼要從老廠商手裡買幣？其實Filecoin挖礦，本質上其實是一種數據存儲的服務，說到服務我們肯定要講究服務質量，那麼用戶和廠商之間如何保證這個服務的質量，雙方就會有一個約束在。這裡就存在代幣抵押機制，新廠商就必須要從廠商這裡買幣才行。
Needless to say, if our individual users want to use cloud disk or website services with higher efficiency, safer data, higher privacy or lower cost, individual users need to buy coins from manufacturers. The third is the speculators and employers, which we will not repeat. Finally, let's see, why should new manufacturers buy coins from old manufacturers? Actually, Filecoin mining is actually a kind of data storage service in essence. When it comes to service, we must pay attention to service quality, so how to ensure the quality of this service between users and manufacturers will be a constraint for both parties. There is a token mortgage mechanism here, and new manufacturers must buy coins from manufacturers.
Filecoin巨大的紅利期，是主網上線後的12個月，所以這個巨大紅利期的這個時間也是非常短的。希望各位把這個也作為一個衡量的指標。
Filecoin's huge dividend period is 12 months after the main online line, so this huge dividend period is also very short. I hope you can take this as a measure.
看到這裡，相信有不少朋友已經感受到了IPFS的強大，也嗅到了其中蘊藏的巨大商機。
