Chain Catcher News: At the 8th Global Blockchain Summit hosted by Wanxiang Blockchain Lab, Filecoin founder Juan Benet delivered a speech titled "Overall Planning of Filecoin," in which he stated that the future overall planning of Filecoin is divided into three phases: 1. Building the world's largest decentralized storage network; 2. Uploading various human data and developing large-scale data loading pipelines; 3. Combining data and computation.It is reported that Filecoin is currently in the second phase, working towards the goals of this phase through several major projects. At the beginning of this year, the total data usage across the network was approximately 20PB, which has now risen to 185PB. Furthermore, in the third phase, Filecoin plans to introduce programmability for the Filecoin Virtual Machine in the first quarter of next year, launching a series of testnets that will allow many teams to build based on the testnets. Currently, 25 teams are already developing on the testnet. Over 2000 new projects are currently being developed or have been deployed on Filecoin, and the number of projects continues to grow.Filecoin is also building compatibility with the Ethereum Virtual Machine, meaning that developers can directly call contracts from Ethereum's FVM without any changes, at most just altering the deployment path for deployment. Another very important dimension for Filecoin is the creation of cross-chain bridges that connect with other blockchains.
