After years of immersion in the crypto space, I want to share an observation: instead of chasing projects that hype AI concepts, it’s better to focus on the long undervalued track of decentralized storage. FIL tokens, as the infrastructure representative in this field, have deep technical accumulation and steady ecosystem expansion, yet market perception remains冷淡—this might just hide the most promising wealth window in 2026.

**Substantive Progress on the Technical Front**

The three core upgrades completed by Filecoin in 2025 are truly pivotal. The most direct improvement is the reduction of transaction confirmation time from 7 hours to 5 minutes. What does this number mean? Decentralized storage can finally match traditional cloud services like AWS in user experience. Simultaneously, gas fee optimization has been implemented, reducing costs by 50%, directly lowering the participation threshold for miners and users.

More noteworthy is the upcoming launch of the Onchain Cloud mainnet (January 2026), marking an upgrade in Filecoin’s positioning—from a simple storage network to an on-chain cloud service platform. The performance during the testing phase already demonstrates this: integrating over a hundred projects such as ENS and Monad, with storage costs as low as $5.99 per TB, nearly 70% cheaper than centralized solutions.

**Multiplier Effect of Ecosystem Expansion**

The maturity of the FVM virtual machine ecosystem significantly broadens FIL’s application scenarios. From its original single function of storage payment, it has evolved into multi-dimensional scenarios such as DeFi lending, NFT collateralization, and data governance. The increase in locked-in tokens within the ecosystem will further squeeze circulating supply, creating a subtle balance in supply and demand.

FIL-1,49%

ENS-0,62%

Fil this wave is indeed easy to overlook, but a 5-minute confirmation can really make a difference. Honestly, I've been tired of all those AI projects, they're just hype and concept trading. If onchain cloud really gets implemented, will the ecosystem suddenly take off? I'm a bit hopeful. Wait, is 70% discount a bit exaggerated? Let's verify the data again. Are fil miners still making money now? It feels like the entire industry is losing money. Bro, this analysis is good, but don't become the next target of being exploited again. Is the FVM ecosystem really expanding or just thriving on paper? We need real data to judge. The 2026 window? I think it's more about blocking the window gap. Don't be too optimistic. An increase in locked-up tokens ≠ token appreciation. I'm a bit tired of hearing this logic. By the way, fil has never truly opened up market awareness; being undervalued might be more about being abandoned.

Wait a minute, 5-minute confirmation? If it really stabilizes, FIL definitely has potential Made a fortune, last year still mocking that FIL was useless, now cloud services are the main course 5 yuan per TB, 70% cheaper than AWS, this number is pretty impressive, gotta verify if it's real or not Honestly, the storage sector is cold, but this wave of ecosystem expansion seems to be genuinely moving Onchain Cloud's success depends on performance, don’t turn into another PPT project Mining costs halved, participation threshold lowered, I support this logic When will we see real project integration data? Just claiming over a hundred is a bit vague I've heard too many times about supply squeezing theories, but key is still whether users are willing to pay FVM ecosystem getting familiar is a good thing, but I’m skeptical about DeFi, let's wait and see We’ll wait until January 2026 for verification, not going to hype too much for now

fil this round is really easy to be slept on, too many people are still chasing the illusory dream of AI Wait, 5-minute confirmation? How did they get this data? Is there testnet data? If onchain cloud can really get off the ground, then the situation will be different, but it depends on how adoption goes Halving miner costs, which we all understand means increased supply pressure Increased ecosystem lock-up = less circulation, clever move, same old playbook Actually, the biggest concern is that project teams might start overpromising again. fil was hyped like this a few years ago By January 2026, hopefully it won't just be another PPT feast

5-minute confirmation... This isn't the kind of hype AI can compare to; real infrastructure should be built like this. Honestly, I've been watching the FIL upgrade for a while. I'm just waiting for the mainnet to launch in January next year. When that happens, who will still dare to say it's obscure? Gas fees cut in half, costing only $5.99 per TB? Damn, this data directly outperforms AWS, why is the market still asleep? I agree that the storage sector is seriously underestimated. Compared to those AI concept projects that rely on storytelling, FIL is actually doing real work. The ecosystem expansion is tangible and visible. An increase in locked-up tokens means circulating supply is being squeezed... I’ve calculated this logic in my mind, and there is indeed room for imagination by 2026.
