Bitmain to Launch Filecoin Token Mining MachinesBitmain, the well-known Chinese manufacturer of Bitcoin mining machines, has made a significant announcement that marks its entry into the Filecoin ecosystem.FIL token miningAccording to that announcement made by the company on social media on Friday, the company is set to launch FIL token mining machines, which are expected to have a hash rate of up to 4,300T each and will be available for purchase at $38,888 per unit.Filecoin, created by Protocol Labs, was originally designed as a blockchain-based collaborative digital storage and data redemption solution. As an open-source, public cryptocurrency and digital remittance system, Filecoin has garnered significant attention in the market.Photo by Traxer on UnsplashDelegated stakingAlong with the mining machine development, Bitmain has introduced a delegated staking service with a low monthly fee of 0.5%. This service offers traders an opportunity to earn more through staking with minimal computational energy. Delegated staking allows users to delegate their staking rights to validators or staking pools, enabling them to partake in the rewards generated by these validators.According to a recent report by crypto market intelligence firm Messari, Filecoin’s data storage market continued to grow in Q2, 2023. Active data storage deals grew 64% when compared with the previous quarter. That deal flow resulted in increased revenue from fees, which was up 91%. Further development of the Filecoin protocol resulted in the recent introduction of the Filecoin Virtual Machine (FVM). That runtime environment for smart contracts has enabled new use cases, including liquid staking, decentralized computing, and perpetual storage.Bitmain’s venture into the Filecoin ecosystem not only supports the development of FIL token mining machines but also offers hope for FIL token holders who experienced losses. The FIL unit price peaked at $190 during the 2021 crypto bull market. The company’s involvement has positively influenced Filecoin’s price.Meanwhile Bitmain continues to be a major player in the crypto mining equipment space. 2021 has not been without its blemishes for the company though, as in April the Beijing-based company was fined $3.7 million by the Chinese authorities for a violation of Chinese tax regulations.Bitmain hashrate dominanceEarlier this month, US bitcoin miner TeraWulf purchased 18,500 mining machines from Bitmain, with a view to deploying them at its 43 MW Lake Mariner mining facility in New York State in the US. The deal had a value of $75 million.A recently published report by crypto intelligence firm Coinmetrics outlined that the majority of the Bitcoin hashrate is being processed by Bitmain’s S19 miner model. Three Bitmain miner models are responsible for 76% of the entire Bitcoin network’s hashrate, the report states.
