Filecoin Foundation partners with Protocol Labs to store NYC Open Data
Filecoin Foundation, a volunteer organization that looks after the FIL blockchain ecosystem, has partnered with Protocol Labs, an open-source R&D lab, to store the New York City Open Data on the decentralized web for the next five years. The incoming New York Mayor, Eric Adams, is a known Bitcoin and blockchain enthusiast, and it seems that NYC is the next hub of blockchain technology.
Filecoin and Protocol Labs to provideco free services
The Filecoin Foundation and Protocol Labs' partnership will enable New York City to explore the decentralized web at no cost. The authorities will be working with the Foundation to figure out "how it [blockchain tech] can be an asset to the City and improve government operations.""We are a global hub for innovation and home to the second-largest tech sector on the planet. It is important for us to be at the vanguard. This is a terrific opportunity to test how decentralized technology can benefit New York City," said the Chief Technical Officer of New York, John Paul Farmer.As per the report from Filecoin Foundation's report, moving the NYC Open Data to a decentralized version of the web will "create a more reliable, more resilient, more secure, and more cost-effective archive of the city's public records."
Potential benefits
There are a number of benefits of moving the NYC Open Data to a decentralized web. Firstly, there is no loss of data in any cause because, in a decentralized system like Filecoin, there is no chance of data loss once it's stored. Secondly, the cost of storing data on Filecoin is extremely low (about 0.02% as that of Amazon S3).Lastly, only 3 major networks around the world have the majority of the data around the world, and in case of an outage or blackout, huge losses can occur. This happened in the recent Facebook outage, due to which 3.5 billion people suffered.
"The best way to preserve and protect humanity's most important information is to expand and strengthen the decentralized web. No single person, company, or nation should be responsible for preserving our collective history," said Marta Belcher, board chair of the Filecoin Foundation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?
We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
