- Storacha introduces distributed hot storage for high speed data access, supported by proof of data ownership technology.
- AI agents can now store and retrieve data without a central server thanks to Storacha's MCP storage server.
In a faster and faster world, you store your data, but the first thing you need to wait to be sealed is like storing a racing bike in a warehouse. Storacha understands that very well. So they are currently building a distributed hot storage layer over a Filecoin network.
Not only concepts, but this network can already be investigated by contributors via CLI, technical documentation, and a highly active discordant community. Node onboarding is not widely open, but many users are beginning to tinker with it.

Provide AI Agent with its own flash drive with FileCoin
Not only that, but Storacha has also introduced what is called an MCP storage server. They want to provide distributed memory to AI agents such as Claude and Elizaos. Therefore, these agents can upload and retrieve data directly from IPF and Filecoin without having to connect to a central server. It feels like you have a personal flash drive on an open network, but it's something that can be used with smart robots.
Additionally, the system is supported by Proof of Data Ownership (PDP) technology that has been active on Filecoin MainNet since May last year. This technology allows nodes to prove that their data is readily available.
So, if you have to wait a long time like queuing to get your driver's license, just click and run it. Suitable for systems that require speed, such as AI and Web3 games.
When distributed storage begins to heavily lift the real world
On the other hand, Storacha is not the only one who has this high-speed, open storage feature. On May 29th, Filecoin officially announced its collaboration with Bagel Labs. They work together to ensure the privacy of their AI data safely by combining encryption technology, zero knowledge proof, and discriminatory privacy.
If you think this sounds complicated, you're chatting with AI, but while wearing a mask and a distorted voice, everything remains a secret, but still functional.
Meanwhile, the Internet archives apparently store US government web data about Filecoin. According to the CNF, this step was taken to keep the archives safe from censorship, server failures, or possible losses during the presidential transition. It's like storing important documents in safes that span many homes. It's difficult to hack and difficult to eliminate.
It's still a development theme, and at the end of May, Filecoin and the Avalanche Foundation launched a cross-chain data bridge between Filecoin and Avalanche C-chain.
With Filecoin Virtual Machine (FEVM), Avalanche applications can now store data in Filecoin with on-chain verification and minimal response times. If you are a Web3 developer, this is like having a large warehouse right next to the factory and you won't drive back and forth any more.
Also, if you want to tinker with technical aspects, other news will arrive from the Network Version 25 Update (aka “Teep”). Released on May 5th, this will speed up finality by 100 times via F3, reorganize the sector fee structure and provide support for transient storage via EIP ‑ 1153. This means lighter costs, a more agile developer experience, and a more flexible system.
Meanwhile, at the time of writing, FIL has changed hands at about $2.53top 1.50% Over the past 24 hours, it has driven its market capitalization to surpass the $1.7 billion mark.
