2022 was a difficult year for the decentralized economy. The collapse of centralized entities such as LUNA, Celsius, Three Arrows Capital, and FTX created a contagion that continues to impact the industry. Filecoin (“FIL”) was no exception, experiencing a decline of ~91% from the start of the year.
This decline in the market price of FIL did not affect DLTx’s production nor place the company in an adverse situation with its creditors. As previously noted, DLTx’s loans are denominated in the underlying tokens, which insulates the company from such market downturns.

On the operations side, DLTx Cloud is onboarding clients, generating revenue, and developing additional revenue streams. The current infrastructure continues to develop, and we believe it will continue to provide attractive alternatives to traditional Web2 competitors.
While closing the 2022 numbers, an update to the reporting tool uncovered a technical issue that provided overstated network power numbers. As a result, the Quality Adjusted Power reported on July 1 is amended to 34,829 tebibyte (“TiB”) (from 38,730 TiB), and the third quarter number is amended to 56,599 TiB (from 63,817 TiB).
In the fourth quarter, DLTx Cloud focused solely on verified deals on the FIL protocol to leverage our committed network capacity. This is illustrated by the relatively modest growth in total Raw Power to 48,550 TiB, while Quality Adjusted Power increased by 8,689 TiB, onboarding close to 1 pebibyte of verified client data. This brings the total Quality Adjusted power to 66,730 TiB. The daily average FIL rewards have increased to 811 FIL with new highs of up to 1,037 FIL/day, an 8% increase from the last period. Fourth quarter FIL rewards totaled 74,646.5 FIL, a 30% increase from the third quarter.
For the year, the FIL protocol-based performance increased by 34,801 TiB (353%) in raw power and 52,824 TiB (480%) in Quality Adjusted Power, while the annual FIL rewards totaled 197,608 FIL.
DLTx believes that its Cloud business will continue its solid performance in 2023. DLTx has signed up to join the pilot for Compute-over-data (Bacalhau) and sealing-as-a-service (SaaS), in addition to being one of the leaders in the Enterprise Filecoin initiative (eFIL+), where new enterprise clients to the FIL network are onboarded.
DLTx expects to participate in multiple revenue streams in the FIL protocol over the next year and is actively pursuing a lineup of 30,000 TiB of raw data (a potential 300,000 TiB in Quality Adjusted Power), some of which have already started sealing.
On the retrieval side, DLTx Cloud was one of the first storage providers to successfully participate in the pilot Saturn project, a Web3 Content Delivery Network (“CDN”) in Filecoin’s retrieval market, which is currently in live production serving retrieval requests.
In summary, 2022 was a challenging year for all Web3 participants. DLTx’s management buttressed for such a downturn and the operations team continues to perform. DLTx is continually looking to increase efficiencies while adding new revenue streams to leverage its unique market position and excellent technical talent. DLTx’s management believes strongly that the winners of the next Web3 economic upcycle will be decentralized projects that add value to clients.
