Solana Filecoin integration catalyzes FIL price gains
One of the key critiques of the Solana network has been the centralized storage solutions. SOL’s integration with Filecoin moves the network away from the same, while increasing the reliability and scalability of the Solana blockchain.
Utilizing Filecoin makes Solana’s block history more accessible for users, explorers, indexers or developers. This is done by leveraging Filecoin’s decentralized storage capabilities. Solana’s objective is to achieve data redundancy, scalability and enhance its blockchain’s security, while boosting decentralization.
