    In the Filecoin whitepaper, the issue of incentivizing storage providers is addressed through a unique economic model. Filecoin introduces a decentralized storage market where storage providers can earn FIL tokens by renting out their unused storage space. This creates a win-win situation where users can securely store their data while storage providers are incentivized to offer their services. By aligning the interests of both parties, Filecoin ensures a reliable and efficient storage network.

    The Filecoin whitepaper proposes a proof-of-replication mechanism to incentivize storage providers. This mechanism requires storage providers to prove that they have replicated the data they store, ensuring data redundancy and reliability. By rewarding storage providers based on their proof-of-replication, Filecoin encourages them to maintain high-quality storage services and discourages any attempts to cheat the system.
