INTRODUCTION | FilSwan’s FS3 — the blockchain version of “Amazon S3”
Introduction
Since the beginning of this year, the popularity of Web3.0, DeFi, NFT, and Metaverse has led to the rapid growth of the blockchain ecosystem. A wave of emerging projects has sprung up, and the market’s demand for decentralized storage facilities is increasing. Filecoin has attracted attention as the decentralized storage facility with the largest storage capacity in the blockchain industry. However, for most application developers, the main problem currently lies in the relative migration costs for original storage services such as Amazon S3, Microsoft Azure, and Google. In addition, application developers need to re-develop Filecoin storage functions, which limits the application scenarios of Filecoin to a certain extent.
FilSwan, a pathfinder in the Filecoin ecosystem, developed FS3 storage functions to replace the mainstream cloud storage service products currently on the market and has achieved great results. FS3 integrates IPFS and Filecoin’s distributed storage network to make data storage safer and faster while maintaining a lower price than traditional cloud storage to provide developers with a more convenient service experience.
FS3 advantages
From a functional point of view, FS3 meets the basic needs of application developers for data storage, backup, recovery, and use, and can handle most application scenarios where data is stored. FS3 has the following advantages:
1. Providing service nodes in many countries and regions around the world
FS3 can provide application developers with multiple Filecoin storage providers around the world for data storage services. Users can choose a storage provider in the appropriate region to store their data, to ensure that data storage, backup, and access functions can be maximized along with transmission speed, thus providing fast data storage function for application developers.
2. Users can independently connect to Filecoin storage providers
For storage providers that have direct cooperation with application developers, FS3 can realize users’ independent docking function. In this way, FS3 is the most complete data storage, backup, and recovery tool for developers.
3. The storage service is cheap, and the cost is low
By providing Filecoin network storage services, FS3 can achieve extremely low prices, thereby reducing developers’ data storage costs while relying on Filecoin network performance to provide a high-quality data access experience.
4. Fully compatible with existing cloud storage services
FS3 is currently fully compatible with Amazon S3 storage service functions. FilSwan officially provides a complete API interface for developers to carry out secondary development, allowing it to achieve more application functions.
5. Storage space can be used on demand
Data storage can be purchased on-demand, and the automatic data backup function is realized without requiring the purchase of a large amount of storage space in advance.
Summary
FS3 and traditional cloud storage service providers operate in different ways. Traditional cloud storage service providers tend to be centralized. Although there are also multiple data centers for large-scale management, it is still difficult to avoid possible service failures. FS3 currently does not provide cloud storage functions. Instead, it integrates the storage functions of IPFS and Filecoin node storage providers into the platform to provide users with functions such as data storage, access, and backup, ensuring the safe and stable storage of data. At the same time, the unit storage cost and the migration cost of traditional cloud storage services are minimized, providing users with a better experience.
