Filecoin's public goods funding puts capital behind the infrastructure, growth work, and research the network depends on. This is where that work is tracked — objective by objective, milestone by milestone.
Three programs fund this work — Kernel for what the network can't run without, Revenue Development for growth, R&D for early work that graduates into the other two. Each objective maps to one, and each program sets its own terms, timeline, and measure of success.
OBJ / 01
Implementations, randomness, critical libraries, and the essential services the rest of the ecosystem builds on top of stay maintained and accountable — no quiet decay in the dependencies everything assumes.
Kernel near-fixed cost
OBJ / 02
Convert real storage demand into paid, onchain services — the adoption drivers, onramps, and developer surfaces that move the network from proven capacity to revenue.
Revenue Development high-ROI
OBJ / 03
Exploratory work funded in stages, so promising directions can be backed early. What proves out becomes Kernel infrastructure or Revenue Development work.
R&D optionality
Progress is published on a fixed cadence, so anyone can see what's moving. Reports cover delivery against milestones, health metrics for each funded function, and the network-level impact the work is meant to produce.
Every two weeks
Granular tracking from every funded team — what shipped, what moved, what's blocked.
Monthly
Each pod against its six-month roadmap, including the network-level KPIs it's accountable for.
Continuous
The network-level numbers each program is judged against — resilience, paid usage, and what research has graduated.

Batch 3 results are in: up to ~$1.4M allocated through December 2026 across 19 projects, and the first round funded deliberately against the Filecoin Kernel.
If your work belongs on the ledger, start by identifying which objective it serves — the application, the evaluation, and the payout schedule all follow from that.
