Filecoin Plummets 30% Over the Week, Hovers Near All-Time Lows

Filecoin (FIL) has been one of the market’s worst-performing assets in the past week, with the storage protocol's FIL token plunging 30% over the last seven days.

This is a massive gap from the coin’s all-time high of $236.84, which was recorded at the beginning of April l...

Filecoin Group Grants $5.8 Million to Edward Snowden's Press Freedom Foundation

Media is a tough place these days. Journalists who report basic facts are accused of spreading "FUD," they get hammered for perceived biases, and they must work in an Internet economy that often rewards speed over accuracy. They also get arrested, beat up, and even killed for trying to reveal the truth. According to the Freedom of the Press Foundation, on-the-job journalist arrests increased 1200% in the U.S. in 2020, while twenty-one journalists worldwide were murdered because of their work. T...

Binance Says $4.6M Filecoin ‘Double Deposit’ an API Mistake

On Thursday, Coindesk reported on an exploit that allowed $4.6 million in Filecoin tokens to be deposited more than once on Binance. In emails to Decrypt, Filecoin and Binance are chalking it up to an “incorrect use” of APIs, as opposed to a bug. The issue resembled a “double spend”—a system-breaking defect, usually brought on by an attack on a blockchain, that allows the same cryptocurrency to be spent twice. Filecoin is a token that helps enable a decentralized storage network. Binance Chain D...
