Internet Archive was founded by Brewster Kahle and operates one of the most widely used digital preservation tools on the web, the Wayback Machine. Its mission extends beyond passive archiving: since 2016, Internet Archive has worked alongside decentralized technology projects to build a more distributed version of its library, reducing reliance on a small number of centralized servers. That same year, Internet Archive organized the Decentralized Web Summit following conversations with Protocol Labs founder Juan Benet about using decentralized storage to safeguard important digital material.
Internet Archive's relationship with Filecoin has deepened over time. When the Filecoin mainnet launched in 2020, public domain audiobooks and films from Internet Archive were among the first materials stored on its network, and the two organizations jointly created Filecoin Archives as a community-led preservation project. In April 2021, the Filecoin Foundation awarded Internet Archive a grant of 50,000 FIL, described at the time as the largest single donation in the library's 25-year history, with the funds directed toward decentralizing its infrastructure. By October 2023, Internet Archive announced that one petabyte of material, including its End of Term Crawl collections of U.S. government websites, had been uploaded to the Filecoin network, with support from the Filecoin Foundation and the Filecoin Foundation for the Decentralized Web. Internet Archive also maintains ties with IPFS as part of its broader decentralized-web work.
Internet Archive accepts cryptocurrency donations including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Filecoin, XRP, Zcash, USD Coin, and Tether, and can receive many additional cryptocurrencies and tokens via Changelly. Internet Archive has published 18,437 posts on the platform and has been mentioned by 474 accounts a total of 2,240 times, reflecting its standing as a widely referenced institution in digital preservation and decentralized-web circles. It has 461,172 followers as of August 2026 on the platform.
