Filecoin: Onchain Cloud goes live on mainnet - 12 Aug 2026

Filecoin Onchain Cloud goes live on mainnet, allowing storage providers to prove onchain that they hold data through Proof of Data Possession. The data remains retrievable through public IPFS gateways under the same CIDs.The launch makes verifiable storage available as a live Filecoin capability. Preserving existing CIDs while adding onchain proof of data possession can support applications moving from centralized pinning services without requiring their content references to change.The announcement establishes availability, but it does not by itself demonstrate adoption by applications or storage providers.🧵Infura's IPFS Service is Shutting Down August 15, 2026Here’s how to rescue your CIDs first. On August 15, 2026, Infura is ending its IPFS service.After that date, the IPFS API () and every *.infura-ipfs.io dedicated gateway goes offline.
