Essential infrastructure
to power the Metaverse
The Filecoin stack is open and resilient, built to store assets for multiple generations
Infrastructure for the Metaverse
The Metaverse is the next evolution of the web which will be comprised of interconnected digital spaces in which humans interact with a sense of presence and will have experiences and use applications.
We believe it has to be an open, composable stack and run on a massively scaled, resilient, and interoperable infrastructure which has to enable real-time interactions.
Four interconnected layers are required for the Metaverse.

The Four Layers of the Metaverse
01
Experiences & Apps
Tasks and interactions people will do in a space
02
Spaces
Spaces are the “rooms” or “worlds” in the Metaverse where we engage and interact
03
Interactions
Mechanisms to communicate with others, express and prove who I am, and show what I own
04
Infrastructure
Foundation of the Metaverse to operate, this includes compute, storage and others
The Filecoin Stack
The Filecoin stack allows storage and retrieval of the most important data. It is a set of modular components to build an open, composable Metaverse. The modularity provides flexibility for teams to pick and choose the components they need.

Infrastructure
The Filecoin stack offers unique benefits to build an open Metaverse
01
Resilience
Free from outages or censorship, Filecoin is a decentralized network without a single point-of-failure.
02
Availability
Data remains available over time thanks to the Filecoin incentive structure, making it the perfect place to store your most important assets and backups
03
Competitive Prices
Prices for storage and retrieval are determined by supply and demand, where providers compete based on their storage, reliability, and speed
04
Programmable Storage
Smart contract enables compute - directly where data is stored. This allows for new use cases like permissions on assets, new Metaverse mechanics or data DAOs
05
Decoupled
Infrastructure is detached from any project or developer, allowing digital assets exist for multiple generations
