Filecoin

Filecoin is an open-source, public, cryptocurrency and digital payment system intended to be a blockchain-based cooperative digital storage and data retrieval method.[1][2][3][4] It is made by Protocol Labs and builds on top of InterPlanetary File System,[1] allowing users to rent unused hard drive space.[5]

Filecoin has raised $52 million in a pre-initial coin offering (pre-ICO) sale[6] and $200 million in ICO.[7]
