Filecoin vs The Graph
Filecoin (FIL) and The Graph (GRT) both sit in the infrastructure category, so they compete for the same slot in a portfolio. Both launched in 2020. Filecoin uses Proof of Storage and The Graph uses — (token sobre Ethereum). This page compares what can actually be verified about each protocol — nobody can tell you which will be worth more, and this page does not try to.
Cryptocurrencies are a highly volatile asset class without the protections of regulated funds: you can lose your entire investment. This comparison is educational content about the technical characteristics of two protocols, not a buy recommendation or a price forecast.
Head to head
Verifiable data for each protocol. Price and performance are deliberately left out: they change daily and cannot be derived from technical specs.

This table does not say which one is "better". It says how they differ, which is the only thing that can be stated without guessing.
Filecoin
FILThe largest decentralized storage network: rent out or buy cryptographically verified disk space.
The Graph
GRT"The Google of blockchains": indexes on-chain data so apps can query it easily.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Filecoin and The Graph?+
Filecoin (FIL) launched in 2020, uses Proof of Storage and has a maximum supply of ~1.960M. The Graph (GRT) launched in 2020, uses — (token sobre Ethereum) and has a maximum supply of ~10.800M. Beyond the numbers, they were built for different purposes — see the description of each below.
Which one will be worth more?+
Nobody knows, and anyone telling you otherwise is guessing. Crypto prices depend on adoption, regulation, liquidity and sentiment, none of which can be forecast from a protocol's specs. This page deliberately compares only what is verifiable today.
Which has the scarcer supply?+
Both have a hard cap: ~1.960M for Filecoin and ~10.800M for The Graph. A cap limits future issuance, but it says nothing about demand — and demand is what sets the price.
Do they use the same technology?+
No: Filecoin uses Proof of Storage and The Graph uses — (token sobre Ethereum). The consensus mechanism affects energy use, how the network is secured and how new coins enter circulation.
Should I hold both?+
That is a question about your risk tolerance, not about these two protocols. Crypto is a volatile asset class where you can lose your entire investment, and holding two coins in the same category adds far less diversification than it looks — they tend to move together.
