$ 257 million: Filecoin sets a new ICO record

The developers of the data storage network on the Filecoin blockchain have officially announced the completion of the ICO campaign, during which they raised $ 257 million, writes CoinDesk.

The Filecoin ICO was launched on August 10 and immediately attracted millions of dollars in investments through the CoinList platform - a joint project of the developer Filecoin Protocol Labs and the platform for investing in startups AngelList.

Today's ICO ended with the result of $ 205.8 million. To this amount it is necessary to add $ 52 million raised during the presale with the participation of Sequoia Capital, Andreessen Horowitz and Union Square Ventures.

Thus, the Filecoin ICO broke the previous record of Tezos, which raised $ 232 million earlier this summer..

At the initial stage of the ICO Filecoin faced certain difficulties, however, within 7 weeks, all interested accredited investors managed to take part in it, transferring more than $ 200 million to the project address. According to information on social networks, about $ 3 million was raised over the past 3 days.

Filecoin intends to develop a decentralized storage network that will allow users to donate excess space on their hard drives. For this they will receive Filecoin tokens as payment.
