    Filecoin

    Filecoin is a peer-to-peer network that enables reliable, decentralized file storage through built-in economic incentives and cryptographic proofs. Clients, or users, pay any number of storage providers, or data centers, to store the client's data, storage providers then provide cryptographic proofs daily as evidence to the clients that the data is still at the data center. Storage providers lock a certain amount of Filecoin as collateral, should they repeatedly fail to provide a proof, their collateral gets burned, serving as a strong deterrent from the data center losing the data.
