Filecoin Foundation's Vision and Strategic Priorities for 2025! The planned budget for the fiscal year 2025 has reportedly exceeded $20 million! Netizens: Isn't it better to use this to pump the price?!
This October, we celebrated the fourth anniversary of the Filecoin mainnet launch, which has been an incredible four years. Today, the Filecoin network has hundreds of teams and thousands of storage providers worldwide, becoming the largest decentralized file storage network in the world.
Welcome to read this article for an in-depth understanding of the Filecoin Foundation's vision and strategic priorities. Looking ahead to 2025, the Filecoin Foundation's primary goal is to mobilize the Filecoin community to make Filecoin run seamlessly and achieve product-market fit.
Vision and Role in the Ecosystem
The mission of the Filecoin Foundation is to promote open-source governance of the Filecoin network, fund R&D projects related to Filecoin and decentralized technologies, support the development of the Filecoin ecosystem and community, and protect humanity's most important information. The vision of the Filecoin Foundation is to create a world where Filecoin and related decentralized technologies preserve and protect humanity's most important information, empower users, and embed core civil liberties and human rights (such as freedom of speech and privacy) into the world's technological infrastructure. We aim to build a decentralized, efficient, and robust foundation for the future of the network.
The Filecoin ecosystem is fully decentralized, which means the Filecoin Foundation will not lead or dictate the direction of the Filecoin ecosystem. Instead, like other open-source governance entities, the goal of the Filecoin Foundation is to bring together the Filecoin community and empower it, including storage providers, data users, token holders, developers, and other ecosystem participants. Major initiatives include promoting open-source governance processes for the Filecoin network, funding ecosystem team building, hosting events to convene ecosystem participants, and supporting the Filecoin community in other ways.
In 2025, the Filecoin Foundation's primary goal for the ecosystem is to make Filecoin run seamlessly and achieve product-market fit, but the Filecoin Foundation cannot dictate what the Filecoin community should do to achieve these goals. Instead, the Filecoin Foundation's strategic priority in 2025 is to unite the community to collaboratively achieve these goals, including facilitating a process for the community to reach consensus on the most important actions to make Filecoin run seamlessly and achieve product-market fit, supporting projects that contribute to these goals, playing a larger coordinating and convening role in the ecosystem, and helping the right people discuss the right things at the right time.
2025 Strategic Priorities
In 2025, the Filecoin Foundation's highest goal for the ecosystem is to mobilize the Filecoin community to make Filecoin run seamlessly and achieve product-market fit.
To achieve the above goals, the main initiatives are as follows:
Address pain points; facilitate community consensus on the most important actions to make Filecoin run seamlessly and achieve product-market fit
Shift from a 'release' culture to an 'iteration' culture, emphasizing quality, precision, and stability
Support open-source data storage tools with a focus on stability
Maintain community engagement through high-profile and high-quality integrations and collaborations (including platform integrations and AI collaborations)
Support storage providers in finding profitable business models and promote paid storage transactions, including through supporting transaction channels
Significantly increase on-chain activity
Play a larger coordinating and convening role in the ecosystem to allow the right people to discuss the right things at the right time
Play a greater role in facilitating communication among ecosystem participants regarding ecosystem scope
The Filecoin Foundation cannot achieve making Filecoin run seamlessly and achieving product-market fit alone; instead, our strategic priority is to unite the Filecoin community to collectively achieve these goals.
Progress Measurement: 2025 Goals and Key Results
To measure the ecosystem's progress toward achieving the main goals for 2025 (to make Filecoin run seamlessly and achieve product-market fit), we have developed a new set of ecosystem-oriented goals and key results (OKRs) for 2025.
We hope to continuously track ecosystem progress by setting ambitious, clear, and measurable goals, identifying and addressing obstacles in a timely manner, determining areas for improvement, and celebrating ecosystem achievements in the process.
Here is how we measure progress in the ecosystem for 2025:
Goal: Make Filecoin run seamlessly and achieve product-market fit
Key Result 1: Increase network storage usage by 5 PIB daily
Strategic Priority: Support open-source data storage tools with a focus on stability
Key Result 2: 75% of on-chain transactions renewed before expiration
Strategic Priority: Address pain points; facilitate community consensus on the most important actions to make Filecoin run seamlessly and achieve product-market fit
Key Result 3: Paid transaction volume grows by 25% month-over-month
Strategic Priority: Support storage providers in finding profitable business models and promote paid storage transactions, including through supporting transaction channels
Key Result 4: Address at least half of the major pain points (identified and prioritized through a process involving ecosystem stakeholders)
Strategic Priority: Address pain points; facilitate community consensus on the most important actions to make Filecoin run seamlessly and achieve product-market fit
Key Result 5: Allocate at least 25% of funding to the iteration or ongoing maintenance of previous projects, rather than new projects
Strategic Priority: Shift from a 'release' culture to an 'iteration' culture, emphasizing quality, precision, and stability
Key Result 6: Establish and promote at least 12 new major partnerships, with each collaboration generating at least two media buzz events in top cryptocurrency media (with positive sentiment) and appearing at least three times in mainstream media
Strategic Priority: Maintain community engagement through high-profile and high-quality integrations and collaborations (including platform integrations and AI collaborations)
Key Result 7: On-chain activity grows by 25% month-over-month
Strategic Priority: Significantly increase on-chain activity
2025 Budget
The Filecoin Foundation looks forward to supporting the community in 2025, and we have drafted a budget for 2025 to support these goals, key results, and strategic priorities. Below is the planned budget for the Filecoin Foundation's fiscal year 2025 (subject to change):
We will further discuss the Filecoin Foundation's impact in 2024 and plans for 2025 in the upcoming annual report. We look forward to working together with the entire Filecoin community in 2025 to achieve our shared vision. You are welcome to join us in building a resilient, decentralized, and user-empowered network.
