FilFi Review 2026: Shut Down Filecoin Staking Protocol

FilFi was a DeFi protocol built around Filecoin. DefiLlama describes it as creating liquidity for Filecoin assets, with services including a staking pool, lending, Joint Mining, hashrate trading and FID funds. It has been listed since June 2023 and ran only on Filecoin.

The project is no longer active. A notice on the homepage, dated 16 March 2026, says that because all nodes have expired, the site has formally stopped operating and closed all services. The team says it is providing a year of after-service support, ending on 15 March 2027, for users who have not yet withdrawn.

The last TVL reading on DefiLlama was about $141,682, down 2.1% over seven days. The protocol has no token listed, and DefiLlama shows two audits. This page is a research profile for people who may still hold a position or want to understand what FilFi was.

FilFi worked as a liquidity layer for Filecoin. Filecoin is a network where storage providers run nodes and earn rewards, and running those nodes needs a lot of upfront capital. FilFi aimed to give that capital a route in through pooled products.

Users could join staking pools, take part in Joint Mining, where several participants fund a node together, or trade hashrate. Lending and FID funds were also part of the stated product set. The project does not give contract-level detail on how rewards were split.

The shutdown notice ties the closure to node expiry: all nodes have expired, so the products backed by them have ended. What remains is a manual process in which the team checks each withdrawal request against the details a user submits.

Fees are not published. Its homepage now contains only the shutdown and withdrawal notice. No fee schedule is shown for staking, lending, joint mining or hashrate trading.

The project does not say whether the after-service withdrawal process carries any cost. Users should confirm this directly with the official channels named on the site before sending anything.

FilFi is closed, so the main risk now is recovering funds rather than using the product. Withdrawals run through a manual process: users send account information, a wallet address and a node number by email or Telegram, and the team verifies each request. That means you depend on the team staying responsive until the 15 March 2027 deadline.

DefiLlama lists two audits, but the project does not say who audited the code or what was covered. No incidents or hacks are mentioned publicly. Be careful with impersonators: use only the official contact details on the site, and never share private keys or seed phrases.

This page is for people who used FilFi and still need to withdraw, and for researchers tracking Filecoin DeFi projects. It is not for anyone looking for an active staking or lending product, since the service has closed.
