Company mission
To help people build their vision on Filecoin and to support the growth of the decentralized web.
Our take
Created by Protocol Labs, Filecoin is a digital payment system and cryptocurrency that in 2023, plans to trade at a maximum of $8.47, making it a strong investment for crypto users. The Filecoin Foundation facilitates the management of the Filecoin crypto network and develops funding projects and development opportunities for it and Protocol Labs.
Creating a governing body for a crypto network may, on the surface, contradict the decentralization mission of cryptocurrency in general, but it has served the Filecoin blockchain effectively since its launch in 2017. The Filecoin Foundation also runs the Seattle-based Techstars Accelerator, exemplifying the company’s aim of developing a community around its bitcoin.
Though the future is still uncertain for bitcoin in general, the Filecoin Foundation has an investment portfolio and grant projects in place to ensure that even if coin prices fluctuate, it will still remain relevant.
