$FIL, $STORJ, $SIA and $AR are all useful Web3 data storage solutions that provide forward-looking alternatives to current cloud providers. @Filecoin currently ranks first in terms of used storage and storage capacity:

1/ @Filecoin also has a vibrant ecosystem of over 330 projects, including NFTs and gaming. You can read more about this at messari.io/article/fileco….
2/ Another difference lies in data storage duration and scalability. @arweave is unique in its promise for perpetual storage but limited in scale while @Filecoin, @storj and @Sia__Foundation operate on a contract-based model––
–– so storage lasts as long as previously agreed upon between client and storage provider––which can also include agreements that store data in perpetuity.
3/ In terms of $, #Storj’s Tardigarde offers fixed payment plans similar to #Dropbox. #Arweave requires a one-time fee; #Filecoin & #SIA, on the other hand, do not provide fixed prices. The latter two operate on a marketplace system where storage providers compete for business.
4/ Ultimately, while all these networks are different, they are united in their aim of decentralizing the cloud industry. However, #Filecoin stands out among them not just because of its scale and cost competitiveness.
5/ #Filecoin is more like a Layer 1 protocol (like #Ethereum, #Polygon, #Solana) with possibilities beyond just storage, aligning with our vision for Web3 Data Economies. This will be especially true when @fvm comes online later this year.
