In the Layer-1 ecosystem, Filecoin has a competitive advantage in storage services and services other L1 blockchains. However, Filecoin sees its relationship with other L1 as collaborative rather than competitive. FVM, persistent storage, DeFi, DataDAOs etc. It will enable various use cases such as
Interestingly, FTM is aiming for interoperability with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), which enables Filecoin to support multiple VMs. It will help unlock the enormous potential of the open data economy. Ethereum has already shared the importance of EVM and Layer-2 blockchain to reduce gas fees and increase transaction speed.

FIL mining
Filecoin mining is different from the mining process of other cryptocurrencies. In this case, miners can be divided into three categories: storage miners, retrieval miners, and repair miners. Filecoin uses proof-of-storage, proof-of-replication, and proof-of-space-time consensus mechanisms to ensure data is stored in a verifiable manner on the network. An FIL miner acts as a database in the Filecoin ecosystem.
Storage miners or storage providers are responsible for storing client information. The reward they receive is directly proportional to the amount of storage they have created for them.
