Filecoin

Filecoin organizes its network around three main roles: builders who create applications and services on the network, storage providers who offer capacity, and users who pay to store data.

The Filecoin protocol itself does not control or manage the stored content; it provides a distributed system for data storage governed by the network’s rules.

In this model, participants pay to store data, and the owners or operators of storage nodes receive fees in exchange for delivering the storage service.

This arrangement distributes data storage across a network of storage providers.
