Maintaining exceptional editorial standards, with content reviewed by trusted editors and seasoned industry professionals.

• Filecoin Onchain Cloud provides fully decentralized, programmable cloud infrastructure, and supporting for next-gen Web3 apps.
• The expansion strengthens Chainlink’s LINK utility as a key oracle provider for on-chain storages, AI, and DeFi integrations, potentially boost adoption and demand.

During the Devconnect event in Argentina, Filecoin’s team (FilOz) and the Filecoin Foundation unveiled Filecoin Onchain Cloud, a new decentralized for cloud platform built to make on‑chain apps more robust. This follows the initiative from Filecoin and Quick Sync, which introduced next-level Web3 privacy tools, according to a Crypto News Flash (CNF) report.

At DePIN Day 2025, the Filecoin Foundation officially launched Filecoin Onchain Cloud, a groundbreaking decentralized platform designed to challenge centralized giants like Cloudflare by delivering verifiable, programmable cloud services for next-generation applications.

Specifically, Filecoin is set to unveil its developer-owned platform during a live event in Buenos Aires. As Juan Benet, creator of Filecoin, put it, this could support “full data pipelines” from storage to compute, without central points of failure. According to Phemex News:

The launch will support the next generation of data, AI, and applications by providing decentralized infrastructure, enhancing the capabilities and accessibility of cloud services in the blockchain ecosystem.

Community observers note that this launch comes amid of surging at DePIN momentum, with the global data storage market projected to hit $199 billion by year-end. Filecoin’s FIL token surged 12% post-announcement, reflecting investor optimism in its pivot way toward AI-friendly infrastructure.

Partnerships, such as Aethir’s distributed GPU tie-up, further amplify compute-storage synergies, positioning Filecoin as a cornerstone for decentralized apps in gaming, research, and enterprise. A core benefit is that, instead of relying on a few big cloud providers, Filecoin Onchain Cloud lets developers build fully decentralized, verifiable systems.

Filecoin’s Announcement Market Implications of for Chainlink

Filecoin’s Onchain Cloud expansion signals a bullish outlook for Chainlink (LINK). Historically, the two protocols have synergized through joint grants since 2021, enabling hybrid smart contracts that combine Filecoin’s storage with Chainlink’s oracles for bidirectional data flows — crucial for verifiable AI and DeFi apps.

For an example, CNF highlighted Saudi Awwal Bank’s use of Chainlink to power next-gen on-chain finance. As Onchain Cloud emphasizes programmable payments and cross-chain bridges, demand for Chainlink’s secure external data feeds could rise, supporting real-world integrations like automated dataset pricing or proof-of-reserve audits.

Analysts project this DePIN synergy may drive LINK adoption, with a potential 20–30% upside in Q4 2025, fueled by ecosystem growth rather than direct competition. Bearish risks, such as delayed integrations, remain minimal given Chainlink’s oracle dominance.

At the time of writing, Chainlink (LINK) trades at around US $13.40, according to CoinMarketCap data. The broader crypto market shows mixed sentiment: altcoins like LINK face risk-off pressure, but long-term value from real-world asset and oracle adoption offers optimism. See LINK price chart below.
