Filecoin price

When "storage" is no longer enough, Irys pushes storage into the era of "second-use" Still losing data to the "decentralized hard drive"? Today, let's change our posture and focus the camera on the daily life of "after throwing it away": rushing to call, but stuck in the circle of "retrieving"; I want to run a contract, but I find that I can't touch the file on the chain at all; Renewal, cross-chain, dual-token ...... A meal operation is as fierce as a tiger, and the cost starts at 2×. The keyword of the old narrative is "can be saved", and the keyword of the new story is only two words: use it in seconds. Irys @irys_xyz uses an independent L1 to package storage, consensus, and execution into "data as a service". ➤ Filecoin: short-term storage annoyance Filecoin was once hailed as the epitome of decentralized storage, but the pain points are obvious: Storage can only be short-term (up to 540 days) and can be manually renewed at the end of the term. retrieving data often takes hours or even days; FVM contracts simply do not have access to stored data; Pricing fluctuates with the market, making costs completely unpredictable. In other words, your data is neither "readily available" nor costly. Irys @irys_xyz directly disrupts this experience: Short-term + permanent storage parallel, instant retrieval, extremely low latency; EVM contracts can read and write data directly; Price anchored hard drive costs – about $2.50/GB for the short term and $0.03/GB for permanent. What's more, the native verifiable mechanism makes data secure and fully decentralized. ➤Arweave: A one-time payment at a high cost Arweave focuses on permanent storage, but it comes with a costly one-time fee, and the price of the anchored AR token fluctuates wildly, with an average cost of 16 times that of Irys. Small file retrieval is okay, but large files are significantly slow; And without native execution capabilities, it must rely on centralized oracles or cross-chain bridges. @irys_xyz is completely different: The flexible choice of short-term and permanent storage makes network congestion virtually insensitive and latency reduced by about 100 times. EVM contracts natively read and write data, price-anchored HDDs, low cost and predictable. To put it bluntly, you can get really "actionable" data faster at a lower cost. ➤Story Protocol: Limitations of on-chain metadata Story Protocol only puts asset metadata on the chain, the asset itself is still off-chain, the authorization logic relies on external modules, and the verification relies on third-party endorsements, which is highly risky for centralization. In other words, while your data is "on-chain," its security and integrity are not truly guaranteed. Irys @irys_xyz allows the asset body to be directly on-chain, permanently verifiable, and the authorization, access, and monetization logic can be embedded in the data structure and executed natively by IrysVM. Native cryptographic verification, secure and decentralized. Story is an IP licensing protocol, and Irys is a lateral data infrastructure – positioned completely differently. ➤Walrus Network: High-friction storage experience Walrus Network is built on Sui and stores for up to 2 years, and also relies on 4–5× expanded erasure code, which users need to manually renew. The dual-token model and manual upload add operational friction. Irys @irys_xyz is an independent L1 with native integration of storage, execution, and consensus; Short-term + permanent storage, fixed cost; ≥ 10 replicas, safe even if 90% of nodes are lost; Miners automatically verify, index, and provide services, and contracts can access data directly through IrysVM. From the short-term shackles of Filecoin, to Arweave's high-priced permanent storage, to Story Protocol's off-chain dependencies, and the operational friction of Walrus Network - the pain points of these established projects are obvious and direct. Irys has truly revolutionized data infrastructure by combining low cost, high availability, native execution, and verifiable security with a new storage paradigm. The law of peaks and ends says that people remember "peaks" and "ends". The peak of the old system is "waiting", and the end point is "renewal"; The peak of Irys @irys_xyz is "second open" and the end point is "always-on". It is not the process that is remembered, but the ending. >> drag files into the front-end → Automatically estimate short-term/permanent prices; >> choose "Perpetual" → pay $0.03/GB once and maintain free for life; >> copy the returned contentTxId → stuffed directly into any EVM contract, and the bytecode is immediately accessible. The storage revolution sounds big, and it is only these three steps to experience. Throw your old worries to the testnet and go to the Irys mainnet to see what the era of "data in seconds" is.

Programmable Data Chains vs Smart Contracts – The Power of Paradigm Shifts It's paradigm, not performance, that really changes the landscape. Bitcoin: Currency relies on mathematics rather than sovereignty. Ethereum: Funds can "flow logically", so there is DeFi. @irys_xyz: Data can "run logically", which may give rise to AI healthcare, DePIN, and privacy computing. Filecoin/Arweave is still an "on-chain hard drive" that solves the archiving problem. @irys_xyz difference: write is call, data comes with logical execution, storage + calculation + verification three-in-one. Developers will gradually be locked into the ecosystem just like they did with AWS. Once habits are formed, the value of Irys is not cheaper storage, but an operating system for the data economy.
