If comparing Irys with other veteran storage track players, one would find that Irys excels in "late mover advantage". Just like Newton's famous analogy in his letters, "standing on the shoulders of giants".
Irys vs Filecoin
Incentive Mechanism: Irys controls zone balance to ensure storage supply and miner rewards; Filecoin allows unlimited capacity commitment, leading to resource over-expansion
Storage Flexibility: Irys supports short-term and permanent storage; Filecoin only provides short-term storage (maximum 540 days)
Smart Contract Integration: Irys contracts can directly query and modify on-chain data; FVM cannot access storage data
Pricing Model: Irys is linked to hard disk costs, with permanent storage estimated at $0.03; Filecoin has fluctuating pricing
