The Folder protocol (FOL) serves as a second-layer solution for decentralized storage networks. It acts as an incentive layer on top of IPFS, providing storage infrastructure for any data. The Folder protocol is particularly advantageous for decentralizing data, developing and running distributed applications, and implementing smart contracts that involve large amounts of data. Moreover, it offers benefits to users by enabling faster content retrieval and wider content distribution. Anyone can contribute to the Folder protocol ecosystem by operating nodes, mining, and offering storage services.
