Polygon Links With Filecoin, How Users Will Benefit From Free Storage

Layer one network Polygon continues to expand and solidified its position in the crypto space. Recently, they announced a new partnership with Filecoin, a network that allows users to store and transfer data via a native marketplace. The cooperation launched the Filecoin-Polygon Bridge, to increase their interoperability. Built by the Textile team, the bridge enables users to use any Polygon mainnet to connect with Filecoin’s storage and (…) start storing data on Filecoin from any Polygon address without any conversions, signups, developer tokens, or secrets exchanged. In addition, Textile, Polygon, and Filecoin announced further incentives for users and developers to leverage the bridge. For the foreseeable future, they will cover all storage costs for every project using the Textile Filecoin Storage Bridge. Thus, Filecoin will bring greater functionality to Polygon applications that require decentralized and verifiable data storage. The bridge will be “gradually” improved to increase its usability and will launch a governance model. In that way, the community will have the power to decide the direction of the project and will operate as an additional incentive for users and developers to jump in and participate. ½ 📢 @Filecoin is coming to Polygon! 📂 @textileio’s Filecoin-Polygon Storage Bridge can store data from any Polygon address owner accelerating the Web3 interoperability between Polygon & Filecoin ecosystems. 🌐 ...
