In-depth analysis report-IPFS and Filecoin

Published

on

Intro:

The current situation of Filecoin is not optimistic as negative news emerges frequently. Can IPFS really be implemented on a large scale? Whether multiple futures products on the market can solve the current situation of Filecoin? And what kind of role can IPFS play in the future? This article will provide an in-depth analysis from a third-party perspective.

On October 15th, with the launch of mainnet, Filecoin finally opened its final chapter   after preparing for three years. However, IPFS did not meet people’s expectations, and even various negative events happened one after another. What is the future of Filecoin?

Why IPFS was born?  

To trace the origin of Filecoin, we must start with IPFS. The birth of IPFS is closely related to the current status of the Internet.

Internet technology has three basics elements: computing power, storage, and bandwidth, especially in the storage sector. Information storage can be said to be the foundation of the entire Internet. The storage methods HTTP used by the traditional Internet underlying protocol are centralized. That is to say, the traditional Internet needs to establish a centralized storage node first, and then connect all the terminals in the network through the HTTP protocol, and on this basis, to serve various applications in the Internet.

In general, centralized storage has three disadvantages:

First, the storage and transmission efficiency is low;

Second, the data security has serious problems;

Third, the storage cost is high.

In response to the shortcomings of these centralized storage, in 2014, Juan Benet, a computer doctor of Stanford University, innovatively proposed a concept of distributed storage to optimize the Internet system.

In May 2014, Juan Benet launched the IPFS Interplanetary File System, and got a huge investment in the YCombinator incubation competition in 2015, and finally established the development team Protocol Labs to build the IPFS system.

IPFS is essentially an underlying Internet protocol for hard-disk sharing. It is a storage network that allows people to share their idle storage space and obtain revenue.

The files stored in the IPFS network are broken up into several 256 kb file fragments through a special encryption algorithm, and then these file fragments are scattered and stored on the servers of miners around the world. When users need data, they only need to input instructions, and the nearest nodes that store the same data will transmit data to users at the same time.

IPFS can effectively reduce the possibility of high concurrency while greatly improving the efficiency of data transmission. The emergence of IPFS is indeed a revolution in Internet storage. Here’s an analogy: if all vehicles are driving on the same road, it is very likely to cause traffic congestion or paralysis. If there are multiple roads to choose from when the vehicle departs, the probability of congestion will be much reduced.

The working principle of IPFS is to divide the data into parts and store them in different nodes. What each node gets is not all of the data, but a 256kb file fragment. Therefore, the distributed storage method of IPFS can also effectively avoid security issues such as natural disasters, hacker attacks, and data leakage. At the same time, compared with HTTP, IPFS greatly saves bandwidth resources and reduces data redundancy. So this is why IPFS is so popular in the world and it is so important.

The application situation of IPFS

Based on its decentralized characteristics, IPFS received huge financial investments at the beginning of the project, including Bole YCombinator, Sequoia Capital, Winklevoss Brothers, Digital Currency Group, Stanford University, Anderson Horowitz Fund, FC Emerging Network Equity Crowdfunding Institution, Union Square Ventures USV etc., with a total financing of more than 257 million US dollars. However, these investments are to obtain equity in the parent company, and Filecoin did not give the investors any token commitments. It was not until August this year that IPFS Labs compromised and promised to give these shareholders in the form of tokens.

IPFS, which is born with gold, is also fully blooming in terms of real market applications. First, let’s look at the application of search engines.

Firefox product manager Mike Conca published an article on Mozilla’s official website stating that Firefox’s browser extension applications support distributed protocols including IPFS, that is, supporting for the “ipfs://” protocol.

Google Chrome is also adding a plug-in IPFS Companion to the extended application to help users better run and manage their own nodes locally, and view the resource information of IPFS nodes at any time.

Opera browser has cooperated with IPFS for a long time. Its Android version of Opera browser has launched IPFS support and developed crypto wallet in the browser with Android, iOS and desktop versions.

In addition to the three major engine browsers, there are also IPSE and Poseidon search engines. These two search engines are both search engines based on the IPFS network and mainly serve for blockchain projects.

The second is file transfer applications. IPFS already has some application carriers, including Partyshare, Pinata and IPWB. For example, Partyshare is an open source file sharing application built on the peer-to-peer hypermedia protocol IPFS, which allows users to share files using IPFS.

In community and e-commerce applications, applications like Indorse, Steepshot, Peepeth, Origin, Open Bazaar, etc. have also appeared. All of the above applications use the IPFS protocol.

On the whole, although the total number of IPFS related applications has reached nearly one hundred, the application of IPFS on the three mainstream engines is only in the form of a plug-in, and file transfer is only to improve the storage needs of IPFS. Peripheral applications are also on some related blockchain platforms, and there is no large-scale implementation.

IPFS tries to move towards a path of full coverage in the blockchain application industry. Compared with the reports that the media claimed that IPFS will replace HTTP and subvert the entire Internet when IPFS was first born, IPFS has not been possible to complete that goal in recent years or more than a decade. The most prominent ability of IPFS is its decentralized storage capacity in a specific range. Blockchain is only a portrayal of database technology. For a behemoth like HTTP, IPFS currently does not have any practical application capabilities to shake it. IPFS still has a long way to go.

The incentive layer Filecoin

The association between Filecoin and IPFS is simple. Filecoin is the incentive layer on the IPFS protocol. To put it another way: IPFS is not a blockchain, nor a certain token, but an Internet protocol. Filecoin is the IPFS protocol token, a payment transaction token for distributed storage nodes under the IPFS protocol. Its purpose is to reflect the financial value of IPFS in the form of tokens for market circulation and transactions.

Filecoin’s blocks run on a new type of proof mechanism called “space-time proof”, and will be mined by miners who store data. The Filecoin protocol does not rely on a network consisting of a single coordinated and independent storage provider to provide data storage and retrieval services, among which:

(1) The user pays tokens for data storage and retrieval,

(2) Storage miners earn tokens by providing storage space,

(3) Search miners to provide data services to earn tokens.

Filecoin turns cloud storage into an algorithmic market. This algorithm market is based on a local protocol, Filecoin (FIL), where miners can obtain by providing storage to customers.

In turn, customers spend Filecoin to obtain storage space.

Filecoin was questioned when it went online

Filecoin token distribution rules are as follows:

The total upper limit of Filecoin is 2 billion, called FIL_BASE. In the distribution of Filecoin’s genesis block, 30% is allocated to financing, Protocol Labs and Filecoin Foundation. among them:

10% of FIL_BASE is allocated to financing institutions, 7.5% of this 10% is sold, and the remaining 2.5% will be used for ecological development, follow-up financing and other purposes.

15% of FIL_BASE is allocated to the protocol laboratory (including 4.5% to the laboratory team and contributors), and the final 5% is allocated to the Filecoin Foundation.

The remaining 70% is allocated to Filecoin miners as mining rewards for providing data storage services, maintaining blockchain, distributing data, running contracts, etc.

Over time, these rewards will support multiple types of mining, so this section will be broken down to cover different types of mining activities. The following is all the distribution rules of Filecoin tokens.

At 22:44 pm on October 15, 2020, Filecoin mainnet was finally officially launched. During the space race, miners were able to mine at a maximum rate of 1PB per day. On the second day of the mainnet launch, the leading miners collectively protested the strike and stopped increasing their computing power. Behind this was the helplessness of the miners.

On the morning of October 18th, less than three days after the launch of Filecoin mainnet, Filecoin official sensed the tremendous pressure from miners. Filecoin core staff Molly posted on Slack that the FIP-0004 proposal has been received by the community, and the content of the proposal will be applied when Filecoin network is updated next week, that is, 25% of storage miner block rewards will be released directly, and the other 75% will still be linearly released at 180 days.

On the morning of October 21st, Filecoin official momack2 posted the latest news on the slack channel saying: “The Lotus 1.1.0 version will be launched. The biggest highlight of this version is the FIP-4 proposal that has been passed a few days ago. The passage of the proposal means that 25% of the block rewards for storage miners can be released immediately.”

Many miners and crypto investors did not approve of this official move. The official retreat may be able to solve the current market problems, but the changes in the rules and models have made many people feel the crisis of trust in Filecoin. The biggest feature of the blockchain is the trust mechanism. Even if the good news is based on the change of the mechanism model, it is difficult to convince miners. After all, while some people benefit, some people will suffer losses.

The number of miners is not as expected and the market is bleak

Let’s look at the market participation status of Filecoin. In addition to Filecoin’s trust crisis in China market, PANEWS found in a Filecoin-related questionnaire survey conducted by worldwide investors that foreign users are not very interested in Filecoin.

PANEWS interviewed 22 interviewees in total, most of whom have more than three years of experience in the crypto circle. Of the 22 respondents, 19 respondents have heard of Filecoin, accounting for 86%. Only 22.7% knew about Filecoin and IPFS, and only 13.6% had participated in Filecoin mining or purchased FIL tokens and futures.

Among them, many interviewees claimed: They are not optimistic about Filecoin, and the it is more like a hype. Compared with participating in Filecoin’s ecology, people are more willing to use Filecoin to make quick money. In addition, some investors also believe that: Filecoin should not allow miners to bear mining pressure and legal risks at the same time.

In addition, there are some professionals who are not optimistic about IPFS, claiming that the underlying protocol of IPFS is still not comparable to existing cloud storage solutions such as Dropbox, iCloud, and Google, let alone to challenge and replace them.

More facts prove that Chinese miners account for 80% of Filecoin miners. Juan also stated it on Twitter: Thousands of miners around the world are using Filecoin. The vast majority are Chinese miners. In the FILFOX browser, almost all of the top ten mining nodes are from China.

Filecoin conspiracy theory

This wave of disputes among miners has not yet settled, and Filecoin’s price performance in the secondary market has also plunged. The data website shows that the current price of FIL is 24.3 US dollars, which is too far away from the expectation that the price of around 200 US dollars when it was launched.

Within a few days of the mainnet just being launched, 1.5 million FIL tokens were transferred from an unknown address, and 800,000 FIL was transferred to Huobi Exchange. According to Filecoin’s unlocking plan, early investors, officials and miners should unlock only 500,000 coins on the first day. With the official promise that FIL tokens will not be sold in the early days, where do these tokens come from? 

In response, Filecoin team gave an official response, calling this unknown account an official account. The transfer of these FIL tokens is mainly to ensure market stability. The tokens are bought and sold on exchanges to provide market liquidity, stabilize price, and correct imbalanced incentives for miners. The transfer of these tokens is not a FIL sale by Protocol Labs. The market-making plan is for the benefit of the community to ensure that there is liquidity in the market at the beginning and maintain price.

On October 20th, another 30,000 FIL were transferred from an unknown address. As of the date of publication, the official team has transferred 909,000 FIL. If calculating on the basis of the price of FIL at 170 dollars when it was launched, the total value is more than 150 million dollars. Even if at the current market price which is 20 dollars, the value of these FIL is more than 20 million dollars.

Large amount of FIL flew into the market, and small investors are the biggest losers in the secondary market. The plunge in the price of FIL has a lot to do with the fact that the test coin can be bought and sold as the mainnet coin. According to Filecoin’s official statement before, all sectors in the space race zone 1 and 2 will be migrated to the main network, and the pledge of these sectors and the block rewards obtained will also be migrated to the mainnet. The encapsulated effective computing power, pledged FIL and mined FIL test coins will be migrated to the mainnet in a certain proportion.

However, after the mainnet went live, the flow of test coins was directly transferred to exchanges for trading, which also allowed the miners who dominated the space race to gain a lot of FIL. While those who hold FIL are rejoicing in absenteeism, it is a disaster for those who do not own FIL and the small investors in the secondary market.

In response to this incident, Filecoin official members explained that the test coin can be directly used as the mainnet coin is a special design, not a “bug”. This is to ensure the security of the network. The miners sold tens of millions of FIL immediately after the mainnet went live, which was “seriously exaggerated”, and the actual amount sold was only 1/10 to 1/100 of the number mentioned in the report. Regardless of the amount of data, it is undeniable that the selling behavior of these miners is one of the factors that contributed to the plunge in FIL price. And from the official explanation, it is obvious that it is to provide shelter for these absenteeism, and the so-called absenteeism is very likely to be an official black-box operation.

The reputation and price of FIL have both encountered Waterloo. Juan Benet sent dozens of Twitter to refute rumors and respond, but the fact that Filecoin is going down cannot be concealed. The only incentive layer, Filecoin, is in a deep development dilemma and it is difficult to survive. This makes the future path of trying to subvert the entire Internet application layer protocol standard IPFS again full of variables.

QFIL and FIL futures products

Back to the secondary trading market, FIL price plunged. Excluding mining income, FIL’s acquisition channels are more important in the early stage from exchanges. Before FIL is officially launched, FIL’s futures products have been the highlight.

Let’s take a look first, what are the futures products in the market?

FIL6: 6-month FIL futures products, with the same redemption period, which is 180 liner release period as the same as mining rules;

FIL12: 12-month FIL futures product;

FIL36: 36-month FIL futures product.

Based on the popularity of Filecoin, many exchanges have launched FIL futures in the early stage.

Among them, the QFIL product launched by QuickCash (QC issuer) and first released on the ZB.com platform has been popular by many users. Because QFIL supports redemption within 15-30 days after FIL goes online, it is faster than many 6-month/12-month futures. In addition, QFIL is an ERC20 token and supports DeFi mining. At present, ZB.com has also supported depositing QFIL to QC (1:1 stablecoin anchored to offshore CNY), and the price of QFIL, which supports multiple game modes, has surpassed FIL once.

Conclusion

Futures products like QFIL can solve the liquidity problem of FIL to a certain extent and also inject new market momentum into the development of FIL.

As far as the status quo of Filecoin is concerned, the future of Filecoin requires the efforts of various aspects. Filecoin bears the expectations of too many investors, but blindly pursuing investment returns will only destroy it. Only by continuously improving its own mechanism and strengthening its application can IPFS go further and further.

Scientology Church members Marked World Health Day in Europe and Beyond

Scientology Marks World Health Day Through Drug Prevention, Blood Donation and Community Health Initiatives

Brussels, Brussels, Belgium, 16th Apr 2026 — Churches of Scientology in several countries marked World Health Day 2026 through a range of activities intended to support both physical well-being and social responsibility, underscoring the place health holds within Scientology’s broader social betterment and humanitarian efforts.

Scientology Church members Marked World Health Day in Europe and Beyond

While the forms of observance differed from one community to another, the underlying theme was consistent: health was approached not only as a medical matter, but as something closely connected to knowledge, responsibility, human dignity and the ability of individuals to lead stable and constructive lives. In Scientology, that understanding has long informed both religious practice and a range of community-based initiatives inspired by founder L. Ron Hubbard.

This year’s observances included drug prevention programming, blood donation efforts and other health-oriented local activities shaped according to the needs of each community. Together, they reflected a practical view shared across many Scientology churches: that support for health can take different forms, from prevention and education to direct assistance and volunteer service.

A broad view of health

For Scientology, concern for health has never been limited to physical condition alone. The Church’s religious teachings and humanitarian programs have long linked personal well-being with ethical conduct, clarity of thought, responsibility and care for others. Physical and spiritual health are therefore seen not as separate matters, but as closely related dimensions of a person’s ability to live productively and contribute to society.

This perspective helps explain why health-related initiatives have become a recurring feature of Scientology’s public-interest activities. Programs dealing with drug prevention, moral values, community service and volunteer assistance all rest, in different ways, on the idea that healthier individuals are better able to build healthier communities.

One of the most visible World Health Day initiatives this year was a special marathon broadcast on Scientology Network on April 7. The programming highlighted the work of the Foundation for a Drug-Free World, a long-running drug education initiative that provides factual information about drugs and their effects so that young people and adults can make informed choices.

The marathon included episodes of Voices for Humanity, public service announcements addressing the dangers of drug use, and material connected to The Truth About Drugs campaign. The focus on prevention reflected a central principle in Scientology-supported social action: that many forms of suffering are best addressed before they take root.

Drug prevention has therefore remained one of the best-known areas of Scientology’s social engagement, particularly through partnerships with schools, educators, youth groups and community organizations. By emphasizing factual information rather than sensationalism, these initiatives seek to help individuals avoid patterns of dependency that can damage health, family stability and social cohesion.

Different churches, different forms of service

World Health Day was also marked through more direct forms of civic solidarity. In Milan, for example, the Church of Scientology hosted a blood donation day on April 9 in cooperation with AVIS Milano, part of the wider Italian Association of Blood Volunteers. The initiative continued a collaboration already established over the years and repeated several times annually.

For the occasion, an AVIS mobile blood collection unit was received at the Church’s facilities in Viale Fulvio Testi, allowing long-time donor Volunteer Ministers to continue giving blood regularly while also giving newer volunteers an opportunity to begin participating in blood donation as a form of community service. The event unfolded in a spirit of participation and awareness, with a simple but essential purpose: helping support a health system that depends on regular voluntary donations.

That initiative in Milan illustrated how local Scientology communities can cooperate with civic and healthcare-oriented organizations in practical ways that respond to immediate social needs. Blood donation remains one of the clearest examples of how ordinary citizens can directly support medical care and save lives. In this context, it also reflected a broader understanding that public health is strengthened not only by institutions, but by communities willing to act in a spirit of solidarity.

Other churches and groups marked the day in ways suited to their local environments. In some places, education and prevention were the primary focus. In others, practical acts of support, volunteer engagement and public awareness took center stage. This diversity of responses reflected the Church’s view that health is not addressed only in clinics or hospitals, but also through the everyday choices, habits and responsibilities that shape both personal and collective life.

The role of Scientology Volunteer Ministers in some of these activities also highlighted a long-standing emphasis on service. The Volunteer Minister program, known for providing practical assistance in community settings and times of need, approaches help in a broad sense, including physical support, moral encouragement and attention to spiritual well-being.

Health as a foundation for social betterment

The different World Health Day observances ultimately pointed to the same idea: that health is foundational to human flourishing and therefore central to any serious effort at social reform and social betterment. A person affected by drug abuse, poor health or social neglect is less able to exercise freedom, judgment and responsibility. A person supported by prevention, education and community care is better placed to live with dignity and to contribute positively to others.

This is why Scientology communities have long considered support for physical and spiritual health to be a cornerstone of their wider social engagement. Whether through drug education, blood donation, volunteer service or other local initiatives, these efforts are intended to strengthen the conditions in which individuals and communities can thrive.

Ivan Arjona, Scientology’s representative to the European Union, the OSCE, the Council of Europe and the United Nations, said the various observances of World Health Day reflected a principle with strong relevance across Europe.

“World Health Day offers an opportunity to remember that health is both physical and human,” Arjona said. “A society protects health not only through medicine and treatment, important as those are, but also through prevention, education, solidarity and the strengthening of personal responsibility. When communities work to prevent drug abuse, support blood donation or engage in local health-oriented service, they are helping defend both well-being and human dignity.”

He added: “The common thread is care for life and respect for the individual. Across Europe, these are deeply rooted civic values. Activities that strengthen the body, protect the mind and support responsible citizenship also strengthen the social fabric, and that is why this work matters.”

At a time when many societies are facing pressure on healthcare systems, concern over addiction and broader questions about resilience and social cohesion, these observances offered a reminder that community-based action still has an important role to play. Whether through factual education about drugs, direct support for blood banks or other locally organized health initiatives, Scientology communities used World Health Day to affirm a consistent principle: that health is essential to individual dignity, and that supporting it is both a personal and a civic responsibility.

The Church of Scientology, its churches, missions, groups and members are present across the European continent. Scientology Europe reports a continent-wide presence through more than 140 churches, missions and affiliated groups in at least 27 European nations, alongside thousands of community-based social betterment and reform initiatives focused on education, prevention and neighbourhood-level support, inspired by the work of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard.

Within Europe’s diverse national frameworks for religion, the Church’s recognitions continue to expand, with administrative and judicial authorities in Spain, Portugal, Sweden, the Netherlands, Italy, Germany Slovakia and others, as well as the European Court of Human Rights, having addressed and acknowledged Scientology communities as protected by the national and international provisions of Freedom of Religion or belief.

New Pet-Friendly Sober Living Homes Open in Los Angeles, With Option to Bring a Pet to Sober Living

Published

17 hours ago

on

April 16, 2026

By

Los Angeles, CA, United States, 16th Apr 2026 — Paws in Recovery has officially launched pawsinrecovery.com, introducing a first-of-its-kind network of pet-friendly sober living homes in Los Angeles for both men and women. With locations in Mid-City and on the west side of LA, Paws in Recovery is built on a straightforward idea: that the presence of a beloved pet during the earliest and most vulnerable days of sobriety can make a meaningful difference in whether someone stays the course. The homes are designed as comfortable, structured sober living environments that follow a traditional 12-step approach. They are not a substitute for treatment, and they make no claims to be. What they offer is something just as important — a safe, accountable, and genuinely supportive place to land after treatment ends, where residents do not have to choose between their sobriety and the animal companion who may have been with them through it all.

The Simple Case for Keeping Pets in the Picture

For many people entering recovery, leaving a pet behind is not just an inconvenience. It is a source of genuine grief and anxiety that can become an obstacle to seeking help in the first place. Studies and firsthand accounts have long pointed to the bond between humans and animals as a source of emotional grounding, reduced stress, and consistent routine — all things that matter enormously in early sobriety.

At Paws in Recovery, the founding team believes that physical touch, presence, and the quiet companionship of an animal can support a person’s ability to stay present, stay calm, and stay committed to the work of recovery. There is something steadying about caring for another living thing when your own world feels uncertain. That daily responsibility, that warmth, and that uncomplicated affection can act as an anchor in ways that are hard to replicate.

This is not an abstract belief. It is the reason the homes were built the way they were.

What Residents Can Expect

Paws in Recovery currently operates separate homes for men and women, with locations in Mid-City Los Angeles and on the west side of the city. Both homes are modern, well-kept, and designed to feel like an actual home rather than a facility. Residents will find comfortable communal spaces, private and semi-private rooms, and a warm environment that encourages genuine connection among housemates.

Meals are included, which removes one of the logistical stressors that can distract early recovery residents from focusing on their program. Ample street parking is available at both locations, making it easy for residents and their visitors to come and go without the daily frustration that often comes with living in Los Angeles.

The program is rooted in the 12-step model, with house expectations around meeting attendance, accountability, and mutual respect among residents. Staff are present and engaged, providing the kind of consistent oversight that helps residents stay on track without creating an overly institutional atmosphere.

For those searching for a well reviewed sober living program in LA that does not ask them to leave their pet at the door, Paws in Recovery is one of the very few options currently available in the city.

Pets: What to Know Before Applying

Paws in Recovery welcomes small and medium-sized pets in most cases. In the majority of situations, residents are able to bring one or two animals with them when they move in. The team reviews each situation individually, taking into account the specific breed, the size and layout of the available space at the time of move-in, and the comfort and safety of all residents in the home.

While the goal is always to find a way to say yes, there are occasional circumstances where a specific animal may not be the right fit for the current home environment. The admissions team works directly with each prospective resident to understand their situation and explore every available option before any final decision is made.

The focus is on small and medium-sized pets. Dogs and cats are the most common, and the homes are set up with that in mind. Pet owners are expected to be responsible for their animals at all times, including feeding, exercise, and general care, which itself reinforces the kind of structure and daily routine that supports long-term sobriety.

Filling a Real Gap in the Los Angeles Recovery Housing Market

Los Angeles has no shortage of sober living options, but finding a pet-friendly sober living home in Los Angeles that also provides structure, meals, and a genuine sense of community has historically been a difficult task. Many homes that advertise themselves as pet-friendly have significant restrictions that make the option effectively unavailable to most applicants. Others lack the basics — consistent programming, a clean environment, accountability — that make sober living work.

Paws in Recovery was built specifically to close that gap. The founders came to this work through personal experience with recovery and a shared understanding of how isolating the early months can feel, particularly when someone has to leave behind the one relationship in their life that has never asked anything complicated of them.

For anyone researching affordable sober living options in West Los Angeles or looking for a structured sober living house in Mid-City LA, Paws in Recovery is accepting applications now for both the men’s and women’s homes.

How to Apply or Learn More

Prospective residents and their families can learn more about availability, house rules, and the pet policy by visiting www.pawsinrecovery.com. The admissions process is straightforward, and the team is available to answer questions about what to expect, what to bring, and how to get started.

Paws in Recovery is committed to being one of the most accessible and genuinely supportive sober living options available anywhere in Los Angeles. For anyone who has been putting off taking the next step because they could not figure out what to do with their dog or their cat, the answer is now a little simpler.

You can bring them with you.
