Filecoin is launching the Solstice upgrade to shift more block rewards toward services that bring paying customers to its network, reducing rewards for consensus-only mining. This change is expected to cut the daily new Filecoin (FIL) entering circulation by about 75%. The upgrade, scheduled for October 19, also introduces new tools for AI agents to store data, generate public links, and make onchain payments. Filecoin requires mainnet node operators and storage providers to adopt Solstice to benefit from these changes.
