Filecoin's 5th Birthday!

Oct 15, 2025 | Virtual

Five years ago, Filecoin launched with a bold mission: to create a decentralized, efficient, and resilient foundation for humanity’s information. Since then, we’ve grown into a thriving global ecosystem that built the world’s largest decentralized storage network. Now, we’re raising a toast to how far we’ve come together — and to the even bigger possibilities ahead. Expect reflections on the past and look-aheads to the future, reunions with familiar faces, and opportunities to meet new community members. Happy Birthday, Filecoin!
