At 22:44 Beijing time on October 15, the Filecoin network officially transitioned from the Space Race network to the Filecoin main network. The launch of the Filecoin main network is an important step in the long march of distributed storage networks. It is a milestone in the development of IPFS and the Filecoin network . Since the launch of the Filecoin main network, what important progress has the Filecoin network made? Let us take a look.

imToken wallet supports Filecoin

Before the launch of the Filecoin mainnet, the imToken wallet had completed all the development functions of Filecoin and entered the final testing and security audit stage. After the launch of the Filecoin mainnet on October 15, Filecoin became the eleventh public chain supported by imToken. Previously, imToken has supported ten public chains including ETH, BTC, ATOM, EOS, TRX, CKB, BCH, LTC, KSM, and DOT.

imToken is a decentralized wallet that manages multi-chain assets. FIL users can manage their own FIL in the imToken wallet . With the subsequent iterations of Filecoin, the imToken wallet will continue to improve various related functions.

Currently, wallets that support FIL include MathWallet, Create React App, etc.   The support of more wallets (especially multi-chain wallets) will help to connect the ecosystem between Filecoin and other high-quality public chains and promote the development of the Filecoin ecosystem.

Filecoin Liftoff Week

As Filecoin's official blog said, the Filecoin mainnet is online and it's time to celebrate. "Filecoin Liftoff Week" is an event to celebrate the launch of the Filecoin mainnet. Filecoin Liftoff Week is a community-planned event, lectures, seminars and symposiums. People such as Juan, founder of Protocol Labs, Lubin, co-founder of Ethereum, and Olaf Carlson-wee, founder of Polychain Capital, all participated deeply and delivered speeches.

Filecoin Liftoff Week is held over five days (October 19-23, 2020). The theme of each day is different. From the background of Filecoin's creation to the development of Filecoin's economy, to Filecoin's solutions and future prospects, we can listen to many people's insights.

Filecoin Space Race 2 Slingshot stored 500TiB+ of data and unlocked a 50,000 FIL prize pool. The first phase of Slingshot ended on October 21. Currently, the competition has entered the second phase.

CoinList provides FIL lending services

On October 22, Beijing time, CoinList’s official Twitter account announced that it will launch a FIL lending service. Borrowing FIL on CoinList can earn an annualized return of 12%. The minimum loan amount is 250FIL, and the loan term is 3 months. At the end of the 3-month FIL loan period, the principal and interest of FIL will be calculated. According to today’s economic model, the demand for FIL lending is relatively strong. With the development of the Filecoin ecosystem, more and more related lending applications will be developed, and DeFil (FIL+DeFi) will also increase the demand and usage of FIL.
