Decentralized content-sharing platform Solmedia has announced its integration of the Solana blockchain with the latest Filecoin on-chain InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) technology.
The enhancement, supported by Solmedia’s native token MEDIA, enables users to benefit from Solana’s high-speed blockchain infrastructure and Filecoin’s secure decentralized storage, which aims to ensure user content is protected and remains unaltered by unauthorized changes or access.
A senior representative from Solmedia shared that the company is focused on maintaining free speech and transparency in the Web 3.0 space. The use of Solana and Filecoin, in conjunction with the MEDIA token, is intended to provide users with control over their data and content-sharing experiences, aiming to sidestep censorship and biased information.
The adoption of Solana and Filecoin technologies aims to improve user experiences by offering fast transaction speeds, lower fees, and reliable decentralized storage, thus streamlining activities such as uploading, streaming, or accessing content.
