Let’s talk: the end of the free crawl🕷️ For years, AI has feasted on the open web for free. Crawlers scraped sites and datasets without cost to train models on the collective output of creators, hosts, and storage providers… who were never compensated.

Filecoin Beam is coming soon to the Filecoin Onchain Cloud ⚡️

From Storage to Beam: Space Meridian’s Evolution Over the past few years, Space Meridian has built, tested, and iterated across every layer of the Filecoin ecosystem. Each project addressed a core challenge in decentralized data infrastructure. Let’s break them down 👇

HTTP 402 was an idea 30 years ahead of its time. The internet finally caught up. When the web was first designed, HTTP reserved a status code: 402 – Payment Required. It was meant for a future where servers could charge per request - where the internet itself could transact.

The web has always been read and write. x402 makes it read, write, and pay.

Don’t miss Miroslav Bajtoš 🦋 talking “Designing x402 on Filecoin Pay + Pay-to-Access Retrievals for Filecoin” with jennijuju at FILDevSummit-7 | In Buenos Aires on November 13–15 📆 Saturday, November 15th ⏰ 12:30-1:00pm (UTC-3) This workshop will bring together FilOz, FilBeam, and Curio to design an MVP for

HTTP always had a payment code (x402) but no way to use it. Filecoin Beam is making this real. Data that earns. Retrievals that pay. The future of the web is read, write, own, pay.

With Filecoin Beam, we’re building the next layer of the decentralized web: real-time, on-chain payments for retrievals and delivery. For the first time, developers, creators, and platforms can earn directly when their data, compute, or bandwidth is used → not through

🧵Filecoin Onchain Cloud Launch TL;DR: Filecoin Onchain Cloud adds onchain storage, retrieval, and payments with proofs. It includes warm storage, Filecoin Pay, Synapse SDK, Filecoin Pin, and Filecoin Beam. Over 100 builders tested the system ahead of mainnet in 2026.

7/ Filecoin Beam Filecoin Beam measures retrieval performance through an onchain verifier that records metrics such as time-to-first-byte and egress volume. Providers earn based on measured results through automatic payment streams tied to Filecoin Pay.

1/ Introducing Filecoin Onchain Cloud: an open, verifiable cloud built on content-addressed data, transparent service delivery, and programmable payments. All onchain. No vendor lock-in.

Filecoin Onchain Cloud is here and what a day for the launch ☁️ From social platforms and DAOs to media and marketplace apps, builders can guarantee persistence and auditability for everything their app depends on, without centralized pinning or opaque servers in the middle.

LIVE from DePIN Day!🎉 📣 We’re thrilled to introduce Filecoin Onchain Cloud! 🚀 Thanks Armita for kicking off the day with our on-stage selfie 📸 - now stored & hosted on IPFS thanks to pin.filecoin.cloud + our global Filecoin SP community! …borhtge7jskzfkaeab5mou.ipfs.dweb.link/IMG_0136.jpeg

We're so excited to be launching with Filecoin Onchain Cloud! Measuring retrieval performance through an onchain verifier that records metrics such as time-to-first-byte and egress volume🚀

Day 1: Already serving data and paying Storage Providers! 🤝🚀
