This blog post explains what Filecoin’s Virtual Machine (FVM) is, why it matters, and how one might evaluate and prioritize the opportunities it unlocks.

In this blogpost, we’ll unpack a sample use case and its supporting components for the FVM, how these services might compose together, and the potential business opportunities behind them.

As a novel data storage and application network, Filecoin’s mission is to create a decentralized, efficient, and robust foundation for humanityʼs information.

Filecoin is enabling open services for data, built on top of the IPFS protocol.

IPFS allows data to be uncoupled from specific servers —reducing the siloing of data to specific machines.
