$FIL - Focus more on practical enterprise use and S3 compatibility, with fast retrieval speeds.
- Scale and capacity are not as good as FIL, but the actual payment adoption rate is higher.
### 3. The significance of FIL's price
- High capacity but low utilization → oversupply, large selling pressure from miners → difficult for the price to rise significantly.
- If FIL utilization rises to 50%+ and on-chain cloud paid data scales up, it will significantly improve network economics, increasing the likelihood of a price rebound.
- Under the current AI storage narrative, FIL is being hyped as the “capacity leader,” but the real driver still depends on utilization and growth in paid transactions.
Summary:
FIL dominates in “quantity” (highest capacity + most hardware nodes), but in “quality” (utilization, actual paid transactions, hot storage experience), it is being caught up by emerging projects like Walrus. FIL remains the leading infrastructure in the sector, but it needs to continuously improve utilization to turn capacity advantages into price advantages.
