- Internet Archives store US government web archives in Filecoin to gain better resilience during the presidential transition.
- FileCoin's distributed network helps protect public data from loss, censorship, or server failure.
Something interesting happened ahead of the change in US management. Internet Archives, an institution we normally know through the Wayback machine, have begun storing US government web archives in the Filecoin network.
As well as data, this is part of a term-of-service web archive project that includes over 500 terabytes and 100 million pages of .gov and .mil sites. This step is to answer not only data backups, but also old challenges. How can we keep public data alive even after management changes?
Typically, when big data is stored in a traditional server center, Filecoin offers a different approach. Data is spread across distributed storage networks. Imagine important pages being stored in thousands of places at once. Therefore, the risk of being lost or obstructed is reduced. Not only that, Philicoin is also known to be cost-effective in storage.

Filecoin rises through true innovation
Meanwhile, what Internet Archives are doing can be said to further strengthen Filecoin's position as the backbone of distributed web storage technology. A few weeks before the announcement, Filecoin had a breakthrough with Lockheed Martin.
They successfully sent and stored data into space using the IPFS protocol, a system that is also the basis of Filecoin. effect? It reduces latency in interplanetary data communications. This is not a science fiction dream, it's already happening.
Additionally, on May 27, 2025, Filecoin Foundation and AVA Labs announced the first cross-chain data bridge between Avalanche C-Chain and Filecoin via FVM virtual machines. Essentially, avalanche blockchain data can now be stored in Filecoin with encrypted proofs. This bridge reduces storage costs, increases scalability, and does not sacrifice network performance.
Additionally, CNF previously reported that Filecoin and Bagel Labs are working together to combine privacy technology with AI development. By supporting GPU redevelopment and cross-chain smart contract integration, Filecoin is now the backbone of AI applications' storage and computing without having to open user data for grabs.
At the end of May, the platform was also named by Analytics Insight as one of the four best cryptographic projects of 2025. The reason is clear. It is not only a promise, but it is practicality that has been proven in a variety of sectors.
Meanwhile, at the time of reporting, FIL has changed its hands at about the time of reporting. $2.52below 1.90% Over the past 24 hours, the market capitalization is approximately $1.7 billion.
