FilSwan has been awarded a joint grant by Chainlink and Filecoin to develop a multi-chain decentralized data storage payment solution that integrates smart contracts on Polygon with Filecoin/IPFS storage. This innovation allows users to upload files to IPFS by depositing a storage fee into a Polygon smart contract, which then selects a storage provider to back up data on the Filecoin network. The process generates a unique content identifier (CID) that enables multiple smart contracts on Polygon to pool funds for storage, with proofs of storage being relayed by Chainlink oracles. This solution addresses the growing need for tamper-proof storage in the multi-chain ecosystem, facilitating payments for storage across blockchains. FilSwan's tool is expected to enhance connectivity and scalability in the decentralized storage space, with planned updates and features to be shared on their GitHub. The company, which has a history of receiving significant grants and forming partnerships with major tech companies, is a key player in the Filecoin/IPFS ecosystem, contributing to the development of decentralized storage solutions and hybrid smart contracts.
