Summary

Filecoin (FIL) is a decentralized storage network built by Protocol Labs, founded by Juan Benet. Raised a record $257M in a 2017 ICO via SAFT structure. SEC classified FIL as a security in Binance/Kraken lawsuits but later removed FIL from the Binance complaint (July 2024). Miner protests erupted at mainnet launch (October 2020) over economic model requiring heavy collateral. Mining historically concentrated in China. Binance delisted FIL/BNB pairs in October 2024.
