This October, we celebrated the fourth anniversary of the launch of the Filecoin mainnet. It has been an incredible four years. Today, the Filecoin network has hundreds of teams and thousands of storage providers around the world, making it the largest decentralized file storage network in the world.

Welcome to read this article to gain an in-depth understanding of the Filecoin Foundation’s vision and strategic priorities. Looking forward to 2025, the Filecoin Foundation’s primary goal is to mobilize the Filecoin community to make Filecoin operate seamlessly and achieve product-market fit.

Vision and role in the ecosystem

The mission of the Filecoin Foundation is to promote Filecoin through Open source governance of the network, funding R&D projects related to Filecoin and decentralized technology, supporting the development of Filecoin ecology and community, and protecting mankind's most important information. The Filecoin Foundation’s vision is to create a world where Filecoin and related decentralized technologies preserve and protect humanity’s most important information, empower users, and embed core civil liberties and human rights (such as free speech and privacy) into the fabric of the world’s technological infrastructure. We want to build a decentralized, efficient and powerful foundation for the future of the network.

The Filecoin ecosystem is completely decentralized, which means that the Filecoin Foundation will not lead or determine the direction of the Filecoin ecosystem. Instead, like other open source governance bodies, the Filecoin Foundation aims to bring together and empower the Filecoin community, including storage providers, data users, token holders, developers and other ecological participants. The main initiatives are to promote the open source governance process of the Filecoin network, provide funds for ecological team building, hold events to convene ecological participants, and other ways to support the Filecoin community.

In 2025, the Filecoin Foundation’s primary goal for the ecosystem is to make Filecoin run seamlessly and achieve product-market fit, but the Filecoin Foundation cannot stipulate what the Filecoin community should do what to achieve these goals. Instead, the Filecoin Foundation’s strategic focus in 2025 is to bring the community together to achieve these goals, including driving a process for the community to agree on the most important actions, enabling Filecoin to operate seamlessly and achieving product market fit. Support will help achieve these goals. target projects to play a greater role in the ecologyThe coordinating and convening role helps the right people discuss the right things at the right time.

Strategic Focus in 2025

In 2025, the Filecoin Foundation’s highest ecological goal is Mobilize the Filecoin community to make Filecoin run seamlessly and achieve product-market fit.

In order to achieve the above goals, the main measures are as follows:

Fight the pain points; promote community Agree on the most important actions to make Filecoin run seamlessly and achieve product-market fit

Move from a "release" culture to an "iterate" culture that emphasizes quality, precision and Stability

Support open source data storage tools and focus on stability

Maintain community through high-profile and high-quality integrations and collaborations, including platform integrations and AI collaborations Activity

Support storage providers to find profitable business models and promote paid storage transactions, including through supporting transaction channels

Significant increase in on-chain activity

Play a greater coordination and convening role in the ecosystem, allowing the right people to discuss the right things at the right time

In coordinating ecological participants Play a greater role in communication around the scope of the ecosystem

The Filecoin Foundation cannot make Filecoin operate seamlessly and achieve product-market fit alone. ; Instead, our strategic focus is on bringing the Filecoin community together to achieve these goals.

Measuring progress: 2025 goals and key results

To measure the ecological progress towards 2025 In response to progress on our main goals (making Filecoin work seamlessly and achieving product-market fit), we have developed a new set of ecologically oriented goals and key results (OKRs) for 2025.

We hope to continue to track ecological progress by setting ambitious, clear and measurable goals, identify and solve obstacles in a timely manner, identify areas for improvement, and celebrate ecological progress in the process Results.

Here's how we will measure ecological progress in 2025:

Goal: Let Filecoin Operating seamlessly and achieving product-market fit
