If the maximum historical loading rate and renewal rate can be sustained (which is regarded as a radical original byte loading growth scenario), it will have a profound impact on the circulation supply of Filecoin. In this situation, we can foresee that the total supply of Filecoin will increase significantly in 2040.

Specifically, because storage providers add new storage space to the network at a very high rate and successfully maintain a high renewal rate, this means that the storage capacity on the Filecoin network will continue to expand rapidly. This expansion not only reflects the continuous growth of network demand for storage, but also reflects the attraction of Filecoin as a decentralized storage solution.

In this case, by 2040, it is expected that a large number of FIL tokens will enter the circulation market. According to the forecast, this figure will reach an astonishing 1.27B FIL. This figure is not only much higher than the current circulation of Filecoin, but also exceeds many people’s expectations.

However, it is worth noting that this forecast is based on some assumptions, especially about the persistence of the maximum historical load rate and renewal rate. In the real world, these conditions may be influenced by many factors, including changes in market supply and demand, technological progress, and policy adjustment.

Therefore, although this prediction provides us with a valuable reference point, the actual situation may be different. Generally speaking, if the maximum historical loading rate and renewal rate can be maintained, the circulation supply of Filecoin is expected to reach a fairly high level by 2040.

This will provide a strong impetus for the development of the network, and may further promote the position of Filecoin in the cryptocurrency market. However, we also need to be vigilant and pay close attention to market dynamics and technological progress in order to adjust our expectations and strategies in time.

If the new supply cannot reach the historical daily maximum, the total supply of Filecoin will be relatively low. The emergence of this situation is largely due to the challenges and uncertainties in maintaining such a high level of growth in the next 16 years.

Considering the dynamics and complexity of network development, it is not easy to maintain a very high loading rate for a long time. The relationship between market supply and demand, the speed of technological progress, the change of policy environment and the adjustment of competitors’ strategies may all affect the growth rate of Filecoin network.

Therefore, in the next 16 years, it is a relatively reasonable forecast that the new supply will be lower than the historical maximum. Taking the current online rate as an example, if this level can remain unchanged, it is estimated that about 1.05B FIL will enter the circulation market by 2040.

Although this figure is still considerable, it is lower than the expected supply (1.27B FIL) under the maximum historical loading rate. This shows that the loading rate has a direct impact on the circulation supply of Filecoin. Of course, we should also realize that the future situation may change at any time. Market conditions, technological progress and user demand may have a far-reaching impact on the circulation and supply of Filecoin.

Therefore, we need to keep sensitive to the market and pay attention to the development of technology, so as to adjust our forecast and strategy in time. To sum up, it is a reasonable and possible expectation that the new supply is lower than the historical maximum limit. In the next 16 years, we may see that the circulation supply of Filecoin is relatively low, but even so, its potential market size and growth potential can not be ignored.

Generally speaking, by 2040, the actual number of Filecoin in circulation will be far lower than the theoretical maximum supply of 2B FIL. This conclusion is based on the comprehensive consideration of many factors, including the driving force of network growth, the behavior of storage providers, and the changes in market supply and demand.

First of all, the driving force of network growth is not static. Although Filecoin has great potential as a decentralized storage solution, it is not easy to maintain rapid growth in the next 16 years. Storage providers need to continuously invest resources to expand storage capacity and deal with possible technical challenges.

At the same time, the intensification of market competition may also have an impact on the growth of Filecoin network. Secondly, the behavior of storage providers is also a key factor affecting the circulation supply. If storage providers cannot maintain high loading rate and renewal rate, the circulation supply of Filecoin will naturally be affected. This may be caused by many reasons, such as cost considerations, technical problems or market changes.

Finally, the change of market supply and demand will also have an impact on the circulation supply of Filecoin. If the market demand for decentralized storage fails to reach the expected level, or other more competitive alternatives appear, the circulation supply of Filecoin may be limited.

Considering the above factors comprehensively, we can foresee that in 2040, the actual circulation supply of Filecoin will be far below the theoretical maximum of 2B FIL. This conclusion reminds us that all possible risks and uncertainties need to be fully considered when evaluating the value and prospect of Filecoin.

Although Filecoin has potential market value as an innovative decentralized storage solution, the development of its circulation supply will be restricted by many factors. Therefore, investors and market participants need to be cautious and pay close attention to market dynamics and technological progress in order to make wise decisions.

  • Trump: US-Iran Agreement 'Not Fully Negotiated Yet'

    On May 25, U.S. President Trump stated on the 24th that the agreement between the United States and Iran is 'not fully negotiated yet,' accusing some uninformed individuals of 'unfounded criticism.' Trump posted on social media, saying, 'If I reach an agreement with Iran, it will be a good and appropriate agreement.' 'No one has seen it or knows its contents. It is not fully negotiated yet. So don't listen to those losers who criticize something they don't understand at all.' According to U.S. media reports, although the draft of the agreement has not been made public, some individuals in the U.S. have criticized it fiercely, claiming it actually undermines the goals set by the Trump administration. White House officials told the media that it will take 'a few more days' to finalize the agreement between the U.S. and Iran. (Xinhua News Agency)

  • Vitalik: Ethereum Foundation is Not the Central Manager of the ETH Ecosystem, Future Development Will Shift to 'Small and Long-term' Approach

    On May 25, Ethereum founder Vitalik shared his views on the future development direction of the Ethereum Foundation in a post on the X platform. He emphasized that this is just his personal opinion. The board does not consist solely of him, and he does not have more special powers than other board members. Aya Miyaguchi is leading most of the execution work for this transformation, while his own involvement is more focused on technical issues. The board is currently expanding, and his influence within the organization will continue to decline in the future, which, frankly, is what he hopes to see. By 2025, the Ethereum Foundation has made significant improvements in its execution capabilities. Many issues have been resolved, and the foundation continues to benefit from greater efficiency and a stronger focus on specific goals. However, as these issues were addressed, he began to care more about another concern: he often sees people saying, 'Vitalik has always talked about Ethereum needing to be decentralized, having privacy, and becoming a shelter technology, but why do the actions of the Ethereum Foundation not reflect these ideals?' Of course, there are those who hold completely different views. Some do not feel there is a crisis at all, but rather believe that the Ethereum Foundation has finally begun to take execution and business development seriously, and the next focus should be to continue along this path faster and stronger. Vitalik believes that this difference essentially reflects varying sensitivities to different types of criticism, and he is more easily hurt by criticisms regarding deviations from values. Vitalik stated that the Ethereum Foundation should not be 'the center of Ethereum,' but rather 'a node with clear responsibilities, existing alongside other nodes.' In the past, they have always said this, but many people in the ecosystem, including some within the foundation, hoped the foundation would become a true center. Now, they are taking concrete actions to ensure the foundation becomes the latter. This is particularly important because the Ethereum Foundation is essentially a resource-limited and organizationally limited entity. The foundation currently holds only about 0.16% of all ETH, which is even lower than many large ETH holders; whereas many other blockchain projects' 'central foundations' typically control 10%-50% of their tokens. The current Ethereum Foundation has decided to use its remaining resources to pursue 'long-term viability' rather than continuous expansion (which also means they will sell less ETH). The foundation will focus on those things that are crucial for Ethereum to become a censorship-resistant, control-resistant, open, private, and secure system, but that no one else would do if the foundation does not. This means they must make difficult choices. Some projects and individuals they highly respect may no longer belong to the foundation's system in the future. In fact, if they want important tasks to attract external capital, it may be necessary to keep some talented individuals, influential public figures, and those who share the mission and CROPS philosophy outside the foundation. This also means that the Ethereum Foundation will take a clearer and more principled stance on a cultural level.
