Recently, Filecoin announced a new significant partnership through Blockfrost’s intermediary with Cardano.

As a reminder, the Blockfrost API was launched in 2020 with the aim to simplify how developers interact with the Cardano Blockchain. Recently, Filecoin announced a new significant partnership through Blockfrost’s intermediary with Cardano. Integration will be via Lighthouse which is a platform built on Filecoin that offers perpetual storage, encryption, custom gateways and multi-chain smart contracts.

​​Blockfrost and FF are collaborating to integrate Filecoin’s decentralized storage capabilities as a robust backup layer for Cardano apps built with Blockfrost. This collaboration will enhance the data redundancy, quality assurance, and decentralization of Cardano apps. By archiving its IPFS Gateway clusters on Filecoin, the world’s largest decentralized storage network, Blockfrost will introduce a new service tier for Cardano builders that includes both IPFS and Filecoin storage. This integration not only strengthens the resilience of future Cardano apps but also highlights a commitment to decentralization by prioritizing the coordination of two leading layer-1 blockchain ecosystems: Cardano and Filecoin.
