A
Welcome
everyone
to
another
fantastic
ecosystem
working
group,
all
hands
on
falcorn
ipfs
and
lit
p2p.
The
day
is
april
21st,
and
this
is
the
agenda
for
today.
We'll
give
you
an
overview
on
the
working
group
mission
and
the
team
itself.
We'll
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
the
status
of
the
network
and
we'll
have
some
amazing
spotlights
lined
up
for
you
talk
about
falcon
foundation.
Some
accelerator
updates
some
grants,
new
programs
and
then
we'll
have
some
deep
dives
from
some
exciting
ecosystem
partners
with
us
today.
A
Okay,
what's
our
mission,
so
the
ecosystems
team
mission
is
to
see
the
long-term
growth
of
the
decentralized
web
by
cultivating
a
wide
variety
of
stakeholders
and
aligning
them
with
the
success
of
ipfs
falcon
and
lit
b2b,
while
treating
them
like
gold.
First
and
foremost,
we
start
with
the
falcoin
stack
itself,
which
is
the
storage
network
of
web3.
A
It
is
a
crypto
powered
storage
network
and
is
used
by
plenty
of
or
hundreds
of
of
applications
today,
ipfs,
which
has
become
the
data
and
content
platform
and
makes
the
web
peer-to-peer
used
by
again
multiple
applications
out
there.
As
you
can
see
tons
of
logos
and
lip
p2p,
which
allows
the
network,
it
has
become
the
network
library
of
web3
and
provides
a
very
modular
network
stack
and
is
used
by
tons
of
very
prominent
blockchains
there,
like
blockchain,
polkadot,
ethereum,
2,
open
bazaar
and
many
others.
A
So
today,
who
are
we?
We
are
a
huge
team.
We
are
now
more
than
five
organizations
that
are
dedicated
to
grow,
the
falcon
and
ipfs
ecosystem
and
lip2b.
We
have
autocore,
which
has
existed
for
a
couple
of
months.
We
have
falcon,
which
is
more
than
a
year
old
protocol,
labs,
of
course,
and
a
few
new
ones
like
starboard,
nfd.storage
and
many
more
together.
We
form
an
organization
or
ecosystem
of
80
plus
full-time
contributors
that
are
aligned
on
the
same
goals.
We
have
an
ecosystem
working
group
within
outer
core.
A
Here
you
can
see
multiple
leaders
that
are
each
responsible
for
their
own
specific
ecosystem
sub
ecosystem,
so
please
feel
free
to
reach
out
to
them.
If
you
need
any
support
in
any
of
these
three
in
any
of
these
areas,
we're
here
to
support
the
overall
ecosystem.
A
So,
what's
our
strategy,
our
growth
strategy
exists
of
three
main
pillars
on
the
top.
We
have
our
multipliers
where
new
major
use
cases
are
being
built
and
bridges
to
other
fundamental
or
important
blockchains
are
being
created
again
to
make
the
creation
of
new
applications
on
web3
easier
and
more
integrated
with
its
goal
to
store
web3
data
and
not
only
web
3
data,
but
also
web
2
user
data
in
the
middle.
A
We
have
our
famous
builders
funnel,
where
we
help
developers
in
creating
new
ideas
and
building
those
new
ideas
out
to
real
projects
and
eventually
help
them
build
out
their
businesses.
We
do
that
through
hackathons
educational
support.
We
have
tons
of
resources
that
allow
you
to
self-educate,
but
also
connect
with
the
ecosystem
and
provide
specialized
grants
and
mentorship
programs
and
eventually
accelerated
programs
that
help
you
accelerate
your
business
to
the
next
round
and
that
round,
of
course,
includes
funding.
You'll
see
that
we
help
with
funding
as
well
and
so
on
the
bottom
line.
A
We
have
our
third
pillar,
which
really
is
the
foundation
of
web3,
which
is
funding
or
storing
all
those
unique
data
sets,
and
that's
really
the
infrastructure.
That
is
holding
and
protecting
all
these
data
sets
there.
We
have
again
a
multitude
of
programs,
incubation
centers.
We
actually
expand
and
help
our
storage
providers
to
grow
geographically
and
help
grow
the
network
in
a
more
diverse
way.
A
Now
next
are
some
of
the
key
metrics
that
we
track
to
identify
of
our
if
the
growth
is
going
in
the
right
direction
and
of
course,
as
you
can
see,
one
of
them
is
our
developer
adoption.
And
since
the
inception,
we
have
seen
a
tremendous
adoption
from
the
developer
community.
Actually,
today
we're
one
of
the
most
developed
against
blockchain
protocols
in
the
world.
A
We
have
more
than
nine
thousand
nine
thousand
five
hundred
falcon
contributors
on
github
and
thanks
to
our
continuous
engagement
with
the
ecosystem,
through
hackathons
and
investments,
we
are
seeing
a
continuous,
very
strong,
very
strong
growth,
and
so
that
leads
to
a
ton
of
grants
that
have
been
handed
out
since
the
inception.
We
have
hand
out
200
grants
or
more
than
5
million
phil.
A
We
have
engaged
more
than
10
000
developers
through
hackathons,
and
so
it's
one
of
the
key
ways
to
really
drive
innovation
and
help
those
new
entrepreneurs
build
their
billion
dollar
businesses
on
top
of
falcoid
and,
of
course,
the
accelerate
programs.
You'll
actually
get
a
deep
dive
later
today,
from
from
ruben
on
one
of
the
accelerated
programs,
so
excited
to
see,
what's
coming
out
of
the
latest
techstars
accelerate
program,
the
second
metrics
is
the
builders
funnel
itself.
A
We
track
every
single
project
that
comes
through
our
through
our
funnel
and
we
track
the
different
stages.
As
you
can
see
on
the
bottom
we
have
in
purple.
The
total
number
of
projects
being
developed
think
is
how
many
of
those
projects
are
moving
through
the
accelerated
program.
Last
year
we
had
60
that
graduated
through
our
accelerated
programs
this
year,
we'll
have
much
or
many
more
as
we
have
increased
and
cranked
up.
A
The
number
of
accelerated
programs
that
we've
enabled
very
interesting
here
to
see
is
that
we
had
40
projects
in
the
beginning
of
2021.
Today
we
have
400
projects,
massive
growth
and
we'll
continue
to
invest
in
more
projects
as
we
go
and
as
you
can
see,
a
ton
of
new
logos
are
constantly
being
added
to
our
ecosystem
dashboard,
thanks
to
our
amazing
team
that
is
driving
these
hackathons
and
builders
funnel
as
a
whole.
So
very
much
excited
it's
very
exciting.
To
see
all
these
new
teams
come
to
our
ecosystem.
A
On
the
bottom
side,
as
we
mentioned,
you
know,
building
the
infrastructure
has
been.
You
know
not
an
easy
task,
but
we
have
done
a
phenomenal
job
thanks
to
our
storage
providers,
globally,
they're
now
distributed
across
44
countries
and
have
and
are
hosting
16.35
heavy
bytes
of
capacity,
which
you
know,
reflects
or
is
equivalent
to
one
percent
of
the
total
cloud
storage
capacity
that's
out
there,
which
is
amazing,
continues
to
grow
across
multiple
regions.
We're
seeing
growth
in
africa,
we're
seeing
growth
in
new
regions,
and
so
we
invite
everyone
to
participate
in
that
effort.
A
Last
but
not
least,
we
also,
of
course,
track
the
actual
useful
data
that's
being
stored
on
our
network.
We
have
today
71
pivot,
bytes
of
pebby,
bytes
of
storage
and
more
than
3
million
deals
have
been
transacted
on
falcoid,
as
you
can
see,
falcon
plus,
which
is
our
incentive
layer,
has
really
taken
off,
and
you
can
see
the
total
of
data
that's
being
actively
stored
on
our
network,
and
so
we
continue
to
see
very
closely
or
very
soon,
we'll
reach
a
hundred
heavyweights
very
excited
to
see
this.
A
A
You
know
dapper
open
c
and
connectors
into
other
this
decentralized
chains
like
polychain
mir,
etc.
Those
have
really
like
driven
a
ton
of
new
nfts
to
our
platform
and
so
use
cases
like
nfd
marketplaces
have
been
become
the
standard
on
nft.storage
or
use.
Cases
like
in
the
metaverse
and
and
gaming
have
become
a
standard
use
case
that
are
using
our
platform
for
storing
the
nfts
that
are
being
created
in
those
games.
A
Now
so
obviously
we're
tracking
the
total
of
nft
stored
on
our
nf
data
storage
platform
and
here
again,
great
growth,
a
continued
linear
growth
of
60
percent
monthly
and
so
we're
currently
at
57.8
million
nfts.
Congratulations
to
to
the
team
to
all
the
ecosystem
partners
that
have
been
contributing
to
this
and
are
using
our
platform
as
their
choice
for
storing
the
nft
on
the
web.
A
Two
side
we're
also
tracking
these
falcon
plus
data
allocation
or
data
cap,
that's
being
handed
out
on
a
daily
basis,
and
here
you
can
see
that
in
the
last
two
months
we
have
seen
a
tremendous
growth
in
data
cap,
that's
being
handed
out
by
the
notaries.
It's
again
a
very
strong
indicator
of
what
is
coming
so
remember,
with
falcon
plus
we
are
handing
out
or
notaries
are
handing
out.
This
is
done
by
the
ecosystem.
A
A
We
see
video
and
audio
consumer
storage
verified
where
verifiability
is
extremely
important,
where
users
want
to
take
control,
finance
and
bio,
so
again,
very
specific
verticals,
with
very
specific
applications
that
focus
on
those
verticals
and,
of
course,
large
data
sets
open
data
sets
climate
data,
internet
archive
gain
forest
czar
or
some
of
the
few
customers
that
are
storing
data
onto
our
network,
and
so
with
that
we
want
to
dive
into
the
last
month
and
give
you
some
quick
updates
on
what
has
evolved
or
what
new
programs
we
have
delivered
and
have
created
in
the
next
month.
B
Hi
everyone,
I'm
rachel
horn
with
filecoin
foundation,
I'm
so
glad
to
be
here
today.
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
an
announcement
that
we
made
this
month.
It
is
the
second
phase
of
a
collaboration
with
electric
coin
company.
This
thing,
this
collaboration
has
two
main
components.
The
first
is:
it
opens
up
a
grant
pool
for
projects
that
add
utility
to
filecoin
and
zcash
ecosystems,
and
the
second
is
that
it
opens
up
the
halo
2
code
base
with
the
mit
license,
which
is
easier.
It's
simpler
to
use
more
permissive.
B
C
All
right
thanks
everyone
for
for
having
me
really
happy
to
announce
the
new
storage
provider
website
that
myself
and
cw
worked
on
over
the
past
couple
of
months.
C
There
in
on
this
website,
also
you'll
see
some
information
on
file
coin
sp
mentorship
program,
it's
a
great
way
for
new
service
providers
to
get
up
and
running
quickly
on
the
network
and
then
a
knowledge
base
that
is
going
to
have
all
kinds
of
information:
a
falcon
foundation,
blog
links,
developer
projects,
lotus
stocks,
all
kinds
of
different
things
and
then
finally,
it'll
close
out
with
an
faq
at
the
very
bottom.
For
some
of
the
more
popular
questions
that
we
get
about:
storage
provider.
A
D
Program
thanks,
stefan
yeah
continuing
on
the
storage
rider
front
on
april
18th.
This
past
monday,
we
introduced
the
new
file
coin
source
provider,
mentorship
grants
program
fspm
to
make
it
as
efficient
and
seamless
as
possible
to
onboard
sps
to
the
network.
This
program
will
allow
qualified
grantees
to
receive
subsidized
expert
sp
consulting
and
is
honestly
the
perfect
opportunity
for
those
looking
to
become
an
sp
or
nascent
sps
looking
to
scale
their
operations.
D
So
right
now,
for
a
limited
time,
only
10
qualified
applicants
will
receive
10
hours
of
fully
subsidized
consulting
services
and
support,
which
is
valued
at
four
thousand
dollars.
And
yes,
you
heard
that
right,
you
can
access
fully
subsidized
consulting
on
topics
like
hardware
considerations,
the
economics
of
the
filecoin
network
and
more
fundamental
topics
without
becoming
an
sp
in
the
new
in
the
near
future.
D
A
A
We
had
more
than
80
attendees
again,
what's
so
cool
about
this,
is
that
we're
not
just
bringing
potential
svs
together
and
accelerating
their
business,
we're
also
as
part
of
this
program,
creating
new
content
for
those
who
couldn't
make
it
to
this
accelerate
program
and
that
content
is
made
available
on
our
storage
providers
landing
page?
So
if
you
want
to
know
more,
if
you
want
to
learn
more
and
follow
the
same
class,
there
is
a
boot
camp
virtual
boot
camp
available
for
all
of
those
that
could
make
it,
but
again
great
momentum.
A
As
you
can
see,
a
ton
of
interest
what's
unique
about
this
scored
is
that
we
had
more
international
attendees
from
australia,
europe,
canada
et
cetera
so
again
great
success,
looking
forward
to
the
third
cohort,
which
is
going
to
be
next
quarter.
So
if
you
want
to
apply,
please
follow
the
web3s.io
landing
page.
E
The
event
was
put
on
by
dystopia
labs,
they've
done
a
bunch
of
the
events
in
various
cities,
and
I
was
lucky
enough
to
have
my
wife,
megan
who's,
a
global
consumer
product,
and
you
know
brand
expert,
getting
the
ideas
like
to
dress
up
that
lounge,
you
see
in
the
photographs
and
we
kind
of
took
over
that
space
with
the
blessing
of
the
organizers,
because
no
one
was
using.
It
ended
up
having
some,
you
know
many
events
in
there
she
pulled
together
the
voodoo
donuts
and
all
that
so
yeah.
The
lounge
was
great.
E
We
made
good
friends
with
the
dowdau
team
and
the
event
was
good
because
everyone
was
talking
about
smart
contracts
and
smart
contracts.
Are
you
know
a
big
part
of
how
nft
storage
is
going
to
turn
our
business
model
into
a
dow
over
time?
So
it
was
just
the
right
people
for
us
to
be
spending
time
with.
A
F
F
We
were
also
able
to
establish
four
communities
in
orbit:
uganda,
orbin,
pori,
orbit
lagos
and
also
orbit
tanzania,
our
community
members
organized
seven
meetups
across
the
globe
in
q1,
and
also
our
first
falcon
conference
in
lagos,
nigeria.
We
were
able
to
engage
over
800
participants
in
orbit
community
events
in.
A
G
Everyone
I'm
emily,
and
today
I
will
be
filling
in
for
jamie
our
head
of
events,
to
talk
to
you
about
all
of
the
events
that
we
have
upcoming
for
the
rest
of
this
year.
So,
right
now
in
in
amsterdam,
we've
got
a
handful
of
events
that
have
already
happened
and
some
that
are
ongoing
devconnect.
We
just
had
an
ipfs
meetup,
a
file
coin
and
friends,
social,
a
boost
ama
yesterday,
a
crypto
econ
day,
that's
happening
currently
and
then
eat
amsterdam
is
happening
at
the
end
of
this
week
and
early
next.
G
We
also
have
a
storage
provider
meet
up.
If
any
of
you

to
be
in
amsterdam
coming
up
in
may
we
have
a
file

got
consensus
for
the
first
funding.
The
commons
event
that's
happening
in
person
is
in
new
york
right
around
nft
nyc.
G
We
have
an
entire
spreadsheet
of
events
which
I
will
share
in
the
chat
so
feel
free
to
just
keep

A
H
So
it's
been
a
really
busy
month,
a
very
exciting
month
across
all
of
our
projects
and
ecosystem.
We

our
first

take
wrapping
falcon
green.
To
give
you
some
context:
there's
seven
million
monthly
views
or
viewers
on
that
particular
program
and
so
really
exciting.
To
engage
new
audiences
with
falcon
green
jv
was
on
ameritrade
a
few
less
people
trying
to
tune
in
there,
but
also
exposed
us
to
a
new
audience
of
investors
and
folks
in
the
financial
services
side
of
things.
H
So
thank
you
so
much
to
both
of
them
for
incredible
appearances
and
we're
looking
forward
to
seeing
more
of
their
faces
