随着数据经济的扩张，我们获取和利用信息的方式正在发生变革。

然而，当前主要由 Dropbox、Sync 和 Google Drive 等云数据存储提供商使用的集中式数据存储解决方案存在一些局限性。

这种集中式方法带来了巨大的风险，因为个人将其数据的所有权和控制权让给服务提供商，使他们容易遭受数据泄露、未经授权的访问和丢​​失。

因此，去中心化存储解决方案成为一种有前景的替代方案，利用区块链技术在多个节点之间分发数据，从而增强安全性、所有权和可访问性。

在本次采访中，去中心化 P2P 文件共享平台 FileMarket 的创始人兼首席执行官伊利亚·奥尔洛夫 (Ilya Orlov) 深入探讨了培育更加公平和去中心化的数据经济的挑战和机遇。

Cointelegraph：请告诉我们您进入区块链行业的旅程。

是什么激励您创建 FileMarket？为了实现您的愿景，您克服了哪些挑战？

Ilya Orlov：

我于 2016 年开始了我的加密之旅，当时我意识到现有的社会政治技术都无法组织快速变化和发展的世界社会。

尽管我经历了家族企业的破产，但财务方面对我来说始终是次要的。

事实上，我仍然相信Web3的主要产品市场契合度是一个全球网络国家，即联合数字联邦共和国。

现在我们在市​​场上看到的所有乱七八糟的东西看起来就像孩子们在幼儿园里玩耍一样。

我们还很年轻，等我们长大后才会意识到我们真正的目标和潜力。

CT：您能通俗地解释一下 FileMarket 是什么吗？

IO：

FileMarket 并不是某种复杂的 Web3 基础设施或去中心化金融（DeFi）项目，尽管我们使用深度技术并专注于去中心化。

FileMarket 允许用户出售他们创建的任何格式的任何文件。

只有买家才能访问加密文件，该文件存储在去中心化的永久存储中，并在区块链上标记化。

该文件可以是概念模板、3D 打印机的 3D 模型、包含 Web3 VC 联系方式的电子表格、字体、ChatGPT 的提示集合、前端库，甚至是一个设置节点的预设。搅拌机以获得独特的视觉效果。

CT：FileMarket 与现有数据市场有何不同？

IO：

FileMarket 为数字个体创业者提供了资金和数据资产的完全所有权。

加密密钥仅存储在客户端，并使用非对称加密在链上传输，提供最高级别的机密性。

任何第三方都无法访问附加到加密 FileToken (EFT) 的加密数据。

In addition to these benefits, users also receive a permissionless secondary market, royalties, on-chain provenance, and perpetual decentralized storage (guaranteed for at least 200 years)

In essence, we have implemented the principle: “Not your keys — not your data.”

CT: What challenges do you see in enabling secure and private data transfers on the blockchain?

IO: While Ethereum and other major EVM blockchains currently rely on centralized servers or projects like Lit Protocol, Ocean Protocol, Crust Network, or Threshold Network to manage confidential data access, these methods often involve sharing encryption keys among multiple nodes, raising concerns about centralized control and potential access by third parties. The future of data privacy lies in fully homomorphic encryption (FHE), a cryptographic technique that enables computations on encrypted data without requiring decryption. FHE is already making strides, with projects like ZAMA.ai developing FHE threshold libraries and Inco Network launching an early testnet.

We anticipate FHE’s widespread adoption within the next year, marking a paradigm shift in data privacy and surpassing the limitations of current zero-knowledge (ZK) approaches. We are actively involved in FHE research and even participated in the Inco Network hackathon.

CT: How does FileMarket address these challenges and ensure security and privacy so that no data is leaked?

IO: Currently, we employ asymmetric encryption, a robust solution for secure file transfer. However, this method incurs some user experience (UX) challenges due to the requirement for three transactions to complete the exchange. Each transaction involves transferring the decryption key from the original owner to the new user using asymmetric encryption. This process necessitates the new user’s private key to decrypt and access the file.

In the future, we plan to use account abstraction and FHE to make the UX simple and friendly for Web2 users.

CT: Can you explain FileMarket’s revenue-sharing model for data creators and data consumers?

IO: Individual creators, whom we refer to as digital solopreneurs, act as data providers, while their buyers are data consumers. Currently, we derive a modest commission from each transaction. However, in the future, we intend to secure revenue share from storage providers and redistribute it among active FileMarket users.

At present, we are focused on the B2C2C (business to consumer to consumer) market, with plans to expand to B2B2C (business to business to consumer) and B2B2B (business to business to business) segments once regulators have fully grasped the intricacies of interfacing with the emerging Web3 internet.

CT: How important do you think blockchain technology is for storing, transferring and protecting data?

IO: Blockchains with decentralized storage networks are essential for any data sharing and storage. This is the only way to truly own your data and not let anyone else access it. It also allows us to build transparent and interoperable data economy markets.

One of the next big narratives is going to be DataFi, which is all kinds of DeFi protocols built on top of different data economies. The amount of data being produced is growing exponentially, and in the future, people will only be able to store a small fraction of the data being produced. The demand for data storage will be enormous.

CT: What are your thoughts on the debates surrounding the balance between privacy and data protection in the current regulatory landscape?

IO: We are still in the early stages and need to experiment with successful use cases in this area to see how things should really be organized and regulated. We definitely need 100% privacy and probably other ZK and FHE technologies to allow computation over encrypted data without decryption. But most importantly, we need to figure out how to build a peaceful society and not an authoritarian cyber punk corp state full of rebels.

CT: What are FileMarket’s long-term goals for fostering a more equitable and decentralized data economy?

IO: I recently returned from ETH India, where FileMarketMaker, our factoring order book for decentralized storage markets, garnered recognition. This innovative platform empowers storage providers on Filecoin to monetize their future revenues, fostering a more dynamic and rewarding ecosystem. As we delve further into the DataFi realm, we aspire to not only safeguard data privacy and ownership but also provide users with the opportunity to participate in the underlying economics of decentralized storage markets. Our ultimate dream is to construct our own layer-2 on top of Ethereum, leveraging the ZK stack and the fully implemented FHE to enable gasless transactions for all users.

This initiative, the Open DataFi Layer, envisions a gateway to all existing decentralized storage networks (DSNs), where various basic and alternative DataFi protocols will reside. We even envision launching index tokens tied to individual DSNs or the future value of storage.

Additionally, FileMarket will revolutionize the user experience by eradicating gas fees and introducing a robust scoring protocol for our factoring order book. This, coupled with creating a diverse range of derivatives akin to mature markets, will elevate FileMarket to a prominent position in the DataFi landscape.

Just as people reside in houses, data finds its home in data centers. Data storage, therefore, represents the new real estate but with the added benefit of a fully transparent on-chain statistics and reputation system. While this may seem like a utopian dream, we are confident in our ability to materialize it. However, for now, we shall preserve this vision for future endeavors.
