- Global electricity demand is growing about 3% a year. Data center demand is growing 15 to 20%. The gap between those two curves is where grid strain comes from. The Filecoin network is already distributed across independent providers, not concentrated in any single facility.

⏰ Reminder: FilecoinTLDR Builder Challenges Cycle 1 Submission Deadline is approaching FAST! 📅 Build period ends June 26 Make sure to submit your Filecoin-powered mini app before it's too late! What you need: - a working demo or prototype - real interaction with the Filecoin - Filecoin reposted
Everyone has been counting the chips and the megawatts. We are now just starting to count the bytes. AI is about to make the world want to keep everything it ever threw away, and that data has nowhere to go. 🧵 1/9 - 750 gigawatts of renewable energy will be added globally in 2025. Most of it sits too far from data center hubs for existing transmission to reach. Building the lines to connect it can take up to a decade. Filecoin providers deploy directly at the source. No buildout required.
- .@JamesKurzFIL: compute used to follow people. Now it follows power, wherever it's abundant, and there's room to build. One third of new GPU clusters are going up over 500 kilometers from the nearest storage. Filecoin operators are already moving toward them.
00:00 - .@JamesKurzFIL: Most of the world's data was never worth storing at scale, nothing could use it. Now, the demand for AI is insatiable, and storage is the bottleneck nobody's ready for. Filecoin is already built for the scale that demand requires.
00:00 - The EU AI Act requires high-risk AI systems to retain training records for years. AWS Glacier Deep Archive holds 5PB for ~$60K annually, with 12-hour retrieval. Filecoin stores the same archive with a cryptographic proof attached. The record doesn't wait on anyone's tier.
- .@JamesKurzFIL: "If your competitor can draw on their data lake faster, they train faster." Infrastructure constraints used to be a cost line item. Now they decide who wins. Filecoin operators deploy capacity closer to where compute runs, so speed isn't the bottleneck.
