Expand 🧵Bridging OrbitDB and Storacha In short: A new bridge has been established between OrbitDB and Storacha, connecting the decentralized database to Filecoin-based hot storage. It allows developers to back up and restore OrbitDB data with just a few lines of code. 1/ Problems Decentralized databases like OrbitDB rely on peer-to-peer networks, but their data often lacks reliable backups. Data continuity can be disrupted when peer nodes go offline. Developers need a secure and permanent way to store OrbitDB databases. 2/ Bridging The OrbitDB-Storacha bridge connects OrbitDB to Filecoin-based Storacha storage. It transfers OrbitDB blocks, logs, manifests, and identity information to Storacha for secure storage and easy recovery via a simple API. 3/ How it Works The bridge extracts OrbitDB database blocks and uploads them as content-addressed files to Storacha. Each block is assigned a CID, which helps rebuild the database later through an automated reorganization process. 4/ Storage Advantages Storacha, as a fast edge layer for Filecoin, provides low latency, redundancy, and CID-based verification. Developers can gain a storage experience similar to modern cloud systems, but with decentralized control. 5/ Recovery Process During the recovery process, the bridge converts the Filecoin/IPFS CID to OrbitDB format and reactivates the entire database. Identity and access control remain unchanged, ensuring the authenticity and ownership of the database. 6/ Future Roadmap Upcoming updates plan to embed Storacha directly into OrbitDB as a CustomStore for automatic backups. The team is also exploring UCAN delegation for secure, user-controlled authentication. Read the full article:

Expand 🧵When Centralized Cloud Services Collapse In short: Azure went down. AWS had also gone down before. Both outages exposed the vulnerability of centralized cloud infrastructure. Filecoin takes a completely different approach, distributing data globally and verifying data integrity through cryptographic proofs. 1/ Outage Events In late October, both Azure and AWS went down. Banks, airports, and government websites were paralyzed for hours due to configuration and DNS errors. The failure in a few regions triggered a global chain reaction. The cause was not an attack, but dependency. 2/ Root Cause The internet operates on a few control planes. Once one fails, a ripple effect occurs. Efficiency comes at the cost of resilience. Each outage demonstrates that centralization is not stable, but rather a concentration of risk. 3/ Alternatives Filecoin distributes data to thousands of independent storage providers across different continents. Each provider must prove that its data is always stored and intact through on-chain proof-of-replication and proof-of-spacetime. 4/ How to Resist Failures In Filecoin, there are no zone-defined uptimes. Even if one provider goes offline, other providers will continue to hold the data. The absence of a master switch or a single DNS route would cause the network to crash. Reliability stems from distributed systems, not control.

Expand 🧵Decentralization by Default: Storacha and Presearch Rebuild the Core of the Internet In short: Storacha and Presearch combine decentralized storage and search to reshape web privacy, persistence, and control. This collaboration challenges centralized monopolies by rebuilding the core. 1/ The Core Problem of the Network A few companies control how people store, search, and share information. This monopoly undermines privacy, creates censorship risks, and makes the internet vulnerable. Storacha and Presearch aim to restore independence through decentralization. 2/ The Foundation of Storacha @storachanetwork operates on IPFS and Filecoin, providing decentralized storage for fast access and data integrity. Each file is cryptographically verified and managed via UCAN, giving users control over their data. 3/ Presearch's Vision @presearchnews distributes search functionality across a network of independent operators. Querying is private and not associated with profiles or locations. Its structure prevents behavioral tracking and biased filtering, thus enabling open discovery of information. 4/ The Connection Between Search and Storage Search locates knowledge; storage preserves knowledge. When the two are combined, decentralized search and storage form a solid foundation for the internet. Presearch helps people find important information, while Storacha ensures that this information always remains in the user's control. 5/ Why It Matters Centralized systems amplify bias and restrict access. Artificial intelligence models rely on this data and reinforce these limitations. Decentralized structures protect information, reduce vulnerability, and ensure access for everyone, rather than being controlled by a few companies. Read the full article:

Expand 🧵Eternal AI Integrates Wan 2.2 with Filecoin In Short: Eternal AI uses Wan 2.2 for uncensored video generation and stores its models on Filecoin via Lighthouse for open access. The system pairs large models for inference, text-to-video, and image-to-video generation. 1/ Core Model @EternalAI_ has integrated Wan 2.2, an open-source video model developed by @Alibaba_Wan, as the foundation of its uncensored video system. Users can input a prompt or a photo to generate short, cinematic videos containing NSFW content. 2/ Model Architecture The Wan 2.2 release includes separate models for text-to-video and image-to-video generation. Eternal AI uses the Wan2.2-T2V-A14B model for prompts and the Wan2.2-I2V-A14B model for visuals. Each model is built with a 14B parameter architecture optimized for cinematic motion. 3/ Decentralized Access To support free, permanent access to these models, Eternal AI uploaded Wan 2.2 to decentralized storage on Filecoin via @LighthouseWeb3. The IPFS CID is publicly available, allowing anyone to directly retrieve the model. 4/ Other Models In addition to Wan 2.2, Eternal AI also uses the Hermes-4-70B model from @NousResearch, a large-scale language model for prompt generation and inference. This model prepares the instructions and interacts with the video backend to guide the output. 5/ No Local Setup Required The system requires no local setup. Users simply upload an image, enter a prompt, and receive a video response. The service operates in an open mode and relies on decentralized storage to maintain access, even if the website disappears. Transform simple prompts or photos into short, cinematic videos, even NSFW ones:

Expand 🧵Centralized cloud services fail, but Filecoin remains online In short: The AWS outage on October 20, 2025, exposed the internet's dependence on centralized infrastructure. Filecoin's decentralized network, coupled with new upgrades, provides reliability unmatched by any single provider. 1/ Centralized Service Outage On October 20, 2025, an outage in the AWS US-East-1 region disrupted large parts of the internet. Coinbase, Robinhood, Signal, Snapchat, and even HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) were all down. Over 15,000 incident reports were received before the issue was contained. 2/ Single Point of Failure AWS later traced the problem to a DNS outage that affected over 80 services. This incident demonstrated the fragility of global systems when a few cloud platforms host the majority of applications. A single regional outage triggered a global outage in a matter of minutes. 3/ Centralized Control AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud control over 60% of enterprise infrastructure. Their dominance makes service outages systemic. Even many Web3 applications have been taken offline because their APIs and nodes still rely on centralized hosts. The core of the internet remains vulnerable. 4/ Filecoin's Architecture Filecoin runs on thousands of independent storage providers, offering over 3.8 exabytes of capacity, 1,300 pibytes of active transactions, and a 31% utilization rate. No single operator or region can disrupt the network. Uptime relies on cryptographic proof, not trust. 5/ Improving the Foundation Filecoin Pins add crypto-native IPFS persistence. Proof of data ownership introduces auditable hot storage. F3 fast finality reduces confirmation times by 100x. USDFC liquidity surged from $93,000 to $301,000 between March and June.
