Filecoin’s incentivized testnet exceeds 12 pebibytes in two days

  • Filecoin launched an incentivized testnet to stress-test its file storage network. 
  • The testnet has exceeded 12 pebibytes in less than two days since its launch. 

In a bid to stress test its network, blockchain-based file storage network Filecoin has recently launched a “Filecoin Space Race.” The firm incentivized miners worldwide to participate in the testnet by promising to distribute up to four million FIL tokens as rewards. According to its website, the “incentivized testnet” has exceeded 12 pebibytes in less than two days after its launch. 

At the moment, Filecoin’s testnet capacity hovers just over 12 pebibytes and is divided between 280 miners, with an average size of 46 tebibytes each. As per the schedule, Filecoin’s “Space Race” will run for three weeks and end in mid-September.
