Filecoin / Compute Over Data Working Group

Join @DeveloperAlly & @silentspring30 to jam with Simon Worthington (@51M0NW) from Bacalhau / Expanso / Register Dynamics and Luke Marsden from Lilypad on federated learning, compute use cases and engineering challenges

Exciting news! We're rebooting our Computer Over Data Working Group, where developers come together to share their approaches to decentralized compute and AI.

Join @DeveloperAlly & Silent Spring in chatting to HackFS winners DefiKicks, Daggle and Tentai about their compute over data projects!

Sami from Taubyte joins us to tell us about the architecture and use cases powering the Taubyte decentralized compute network.

Stanley Bishop and Gordon Gould from New Atlantis DAO take us through their use of genomic data processing pipelines on IPFS and Bacalhau to improve the protection of sensitive marine waters.

Sid and Shaki from Polybase take us through their new Database platform built on open standards (IPFS, libp2p) and how Web3 users can more robust applications using this new technology.

Michael Geer from Humanity.health takes us through a novel set of distributed data challenges. He discusses the potential breakthroughs in health that could result from creative Solutions to federated Machine Learning problems.

Join Ally Haire of Filecoin for a workshop titled "Making Data Useful with Decentralised Compute". A hands on workshop on how to bridge FVM to powerful distributed compute for running AI, ML and more with Bacalhau & Lilypad & how these projects are building new paradigms for the data economy.

We are incredibly excited to welcome back a community favorite: From June 2-21, 2023 we are joining forces for the fourth year in a row with Protocol Labs, one of the ecosystem's biggest open-source research, development, and deployment laboratories. Their projects include IPFS, Filecoin, libp2p, and many more.

If you enjoyed last year's HackFS event, strap in—because this year will be even more phenomenal!

For the first time, we will have prizes from The Filecoin Virtual Machine (FVM) for a HackFS, a runtime environment for smart contracts (also called actors) on the Filecoin network. FVM brings user programmability to Filecoin, unleashing the enormous potential of an open data economy. We are excited to respond to a highly requested community demand after our successful hacks FVM Space Warp in February of this year and Hack FEVM which took place in November of last year with this!
