Plans
Filecoin's public infrastructure is primarily free and permissionless. The Glif-hosted Lotus nodes offer a public endpoint at no cost, with custom/dedicated node options available on request. Storage onramp services (Fil One, Lighthouse, Pinata, etc.) each have their own commercial pricing based on storage volume. Filecoin+ (Fil+) provides verified DataCap at no monetary cost — allocators grant DataCap to qualified clients, who then enjoy 10x storage deal quality multiplier from miners.
