Description
Pooja Shah, Filecoin Product Lead, talks about building on Filecoin.
At The First Ever CSCON Virtual Event!
A
So
this
next
speaker
that
I'm
about
to
introduce
is
also
a
member
of
critical
labs
and
this
day
seems
to
be
pretty
peer-to-peer
file,
storage,
themed,
which
is
awesome.
Personally.
I've
been
binging,
her
youtube
videos
for
about
a
year
now,
so
it's
really
cool
to
get
to
introduce
somebody
that
I
watch
on
youtube.
A
B
Can
you
hear
me
I
can
hear
you
perfect,
okay,
great
thanks
for
the
introduction
nice
to
be
here
no
problem
floor.
Is
yours
awesome?
Okay,
let
me
share
my.
C
Screen
all
right,
so
hey
everyone
really
really
excited
to
be
here
today,
as
cindy
mentioned,
my
name
is
pooja
and
I
lead
product
for
the
filecoin
project.
I've
been
a
happy
member
of
the
protocol
labs
family
now
for
a
few
years,
two
and
a
half
years.
So
I
have
definitely
you
know
gotten
to
work
really
closely
with
a
number
worked
with
david,
a
little
bit
and
as
well
many
folks
on
the
chainsafe
side.
C
So
really,
you
know
just
love
this
team
and
love
this
community
so
much
and
yeah.
Today,
I'm
really
excited
to
talk
about
what
are
some
of
the
various
ways
in
which
you
can
think
about
sort
of
getting
involved
in
the
filecoin
ecosystem.
C
There's
so
much
to
do,
and
it's
really
really
early
days
in
this
network
and
many
opportunities
abound
for
developers,
so
would
love
to
talk
a
bit
about
what
some
of
those
opportunities
are.
So
I'm
gonna.
This
is
a
brief
agenda
of
the
discussion
today
I'll
talk
about
why
you
should
build
in
the
file
clean
ecosystem.
What
are
some
examples
of
the
types
of
projects
that
other
folks
are
building
what
you
might
consider
building
and
some
resources
to
get
started
so
the
first?
Why
should
you
build
in
the
file
coin?
Ecosystem?
C
I'm
sure
many
folks
have
talked
about
this
at
various
points
throughout
this
this
conference,
but
you
know
the
mission
of
filecoin,
which
is
something
I
hold
really
dear
to
my
heart
personally,
it's
something
that
really
motivates
me
to
work
in
this
in
this
ecosystem
every
day
is
to
create
a
decentralized,
efficient
and
robust
foundation
for
humanities.
C
Information
and
sort
of
each
word
of
this
mission
statement
is
something
that
we
take
really
seriously
as
a
project,
and
so
you
may
see
some
of
that,
and
just
I'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
at
a
high
level
how
the
system
is
kind
of
designed
and
some
of
the
core
features,
and
they
really
speak
to
this
mission
statement.
That's
something
that
drives
all
of
the
efforts
across
the
project.
C
Filecoin
is
you
know,
probably
the
the
thing
that
most
people
are
familiar
with
is
obviously
it's
a
decentralized
storage
network,
but
filecoin
is
actually
a
lot
more
than
that
too.
It's
a
set
of
decentralized
storage
protocols,
the
actual
just
underlying
protocols
that
you
know
anyone
can
implement
and
even
create
new
networks
on
the
basis
of
so
we
really
do
believe
strongly
in
really
good
protocol
design
and
artifacts
that
represent
what
those
protocols
actually
are
like
really
strong
specifications
and
so
on.
Filecoin's.
C
Also,
a
payment
mechanism
on
its
own
and
also
filecoin,
is
a
really
thriving
ecosystem.
C
You
know
someone
to
store
data
with,
and
there
are
miners
that
are
filling
that
need
by
providing
storage
to
the
network,
and
you
can
kind
of
think
of
the
network
as
sort
of
this,
like
decentralized
intermediary
between
the
two
sides
of
this
marketplace,
which
is
what
it
says
here,
and
so,
when
a
client
decides
that
they
want
to
store
data
on
the
network,
they'll
send
some
amount
of
file
coin,
as
well
as
their
data
to
storage
contracts
on
on
the
network,
and
the
network
will
pass
this
data
on
to
the
miners
that
the
client
has
selected
to
to
store
their
data
over
time
and
periodically
and
currently
in
the
protocols
about
every
24
hours.
C
The
network
will
also
ask
miners
to
generate
storage
proofs
to
show
that
they
indeed
are
storing
the
data
correctly,
that
they
were
supposed
to
be
storing
that's
kind
of
what
these
little
pi
proofs
are.
Those
are
submitted
back
to
the
network
they're
submitted
onto
the
filecoin
blockchain
and
as
long
as
miners
are
continuing
to
prove
their
storage
and
show
that
they're
storing
the
data
correctly.
C
The
filecoin
tokens
that
came
from
this
storage
client
are
distributed
to
the
miners
and
there
are
lots
of
really
key
mechanisms
in
the
protocol
that
are
designed
to
ensure
that
this
system
can
work
trustlessly
in
a
way.
So
you
know,
clients
and
miners
should
be
able
to
trust
that
the
networks
protocols
will
do
the
will
will
incentivize
all
of
the
participants
on
the
system
to
do
the
right
thing
and
ultimately
make
this
system
of
data
storage
and
continuing
to
show
that
the
data
is
being
stored
correctly
over
time
actually
work
as
intended.
C
There
are
a
number
of
features
in
this
design
that
I
think
really
make
filecoin
the
decentralized
storage
network
for
web3
today
and
over
time,
really
just
kind
of
the
decentralized
storage
layer
for
all
storage
use
cases
that
we
will
begin
to.
Imagine
one
core
feature
of
filecoin
that
I
think
is
really
interesting.
C
Is
this
idea
of
having
more
differentiated
and
granular
storage
markets
so
when
most
of
us
in
in
the
world
today,
obviously-
and
maybe
this
is
not
as
relevant
for
the
web
3
crowd,
but
I
think
just
generally,
as
we
think
about
storage
in
the
world,
you
hear
a
lot
of
phrases
like
you
know:
storage
is
commoditized.
C
Storage
is
pretty
undifferentiated,
it's
a
resource
that
people
don't
really
think
very
much
about
when
you're
building
standard
applications,
but
what
the
filecoin
network
allows
for
is
more
differentiation
in
the
storage
in
a
storage
market
you
can
have
people
who
are
you
know,
miners
who
are
in
various
geographies
in
the
world.
They
can
be
offering
their
storage
at
different
prices
from
each
other.
They
may
have
different
slas
in
terms
of
you
know
like
the
retrieval
availability
and
things
like
that
from
that
storage
miner.
C
They
may
even
choose
on
their
end
over
time,
and
you
know
the
network
is
still
young,
so
we're
not
seeing
as
much
of
this
yet,
but
over
time
we
may
start
to
see
miners
differentiate
themselves
against
other
dimensions
as
well,
like
some
miners
may
choose
to
advertise
that
they're,
hipaa,
compliant
or
gdpr
compliant,
or
something
like
that,
and
so
what's
really
cool.
C
I
think
about
filecoin
is
just
the
fact
that
it
is
a
two-sided
marketplace,
enables
this
sort
of
differentiation
to
occur
in
a
storage
market
which
may
over
time
lead
to
much
better
fit
of
storage
as
a
resource
for
they're,
coming
kind
of
from
the
client
or
demand
side.
C
One
really
cool
product
that
has
recently
come
out
around
the
file
coin
storage
network
is
is
called
the
storage
product.
It's
by
a
consensus
team
called
codify
and
they're
sort
of
helping
to
support
this
idea
of
just
minor
differentiation,
because
you
can
see,
like
you
know,
they're
they're.
Basically,
it's
essentially
a
minor
reputation
product
and
you
can
see
different
miners.
They
have
a
reputation
score.
They
have
their
sort
of
amortized
monthly
storage
price.
That's
listed
on
this
website
as
well
that
clients
like
uri
could
go
in
and
see.
C
Okay
like
this
is
maybe
the
miner
that
I
want
to
be
storing
my
data
with,
because
they
have
shown
that
they
are
really
good
actors
on
the
network.
They
have
a
high
reputation
score
and
that's
maybe,
who
I'm
going
to
be
making
my
storage
deals
with
another
really
interesting
feature.
That's
native!
That's
I
think
native
and
unique
to
filecoin
is
this
idea
of
having
verifiable
storage?
C
C
It's
a
deal
for
like
a
storage
contract,
that
information
goes
onto
the
filecoin
blockchain
and,
as
we
mentioned
before,
periodically
miners
are
asked
to
generate
proofs
to
show
that
they
are
storing
that
initial
piece
of
data
that
you
sent
through
the
network
that
they
are
showing
that
they
are
storing
that
same
piece
of
data
correctly
over
time,
and
I
think
this
enables
some
very
interesting
use
cases
because
you
can
imagine
you
know,
for
example,
like
one
really
interesting
implication,
is
the
ability
for
this
network
to
fight
misinformation
in
a
way.
C
So
you
know,
I
could
decide
that.
I
want
to
store
my
transcript
onto
the
filecoin
blockchain
and
if,
in
the
future,
maybe
I'm
like
applying
for
a
job
or
something
like
that,
they
ask
for
a
transcript,
and
I
want
to
tweak
like
a
grade
that
I
got
and
so
now
the
content
hash
for
that
particular
file
has
been
changed.
You
could
kind
of
just
compare
like
the
content
hashes
for
these
files
at
two.
C
This
same
ostensibly
same
file
at
two
different
moments
in
time,
see
that
from
the
information
on
the
filecoin
blockchain
that
the
original
cid
does
not
match.
Like
the
cid
of
the
transcript
that
I
am
now
sending
to
my
potential
employer
and
the
potential
employer
could
use
that
to
say
well,
okay,
this
later
copy
is,
or
the
thing
I'm
actually
being
sent
is
probably
not
the
original.
It's
like
been
maybe
been
doctored
in
some
way,
and
so,
if
we
just
think
about
you
know,
maybe
that's
like
one
example.
C
There
are
lots
of
other
examples
where
this
type
of
functionality
is
really
important.
One
group
that
I'll
talk
about
a
little
bit
later
that
we've
been
working
with
is
using
filecoin
to
store
genocide,
testimonial
archives,
and
so
they
want
to
be
able
to
just
have
this
public
ledger.
That
kind
of
shows
that
a
particular
individual
who
was
a
survivor
of
a
genocide
in
some
place
in
the
world
that
their
story
about
what
they
experienced
was
actually
time
stamped
to
have
exist.
C
You
know
to
have
occurred
at
a
particular
moment
in
time,
and
there
is
this,
like
auditable
trail,
on
a
public
blockchain.
That
shows
that
establishes
like
when
that
initial
story
was
sort
of
like
published
and
when
it
was
sort
of
distributed
into
the
world-
and
you
know
there
are
folks
in
the
world
who
are
holocaust
deniers,
for
example.
So
these
these
sorts
of,
like
publicly
auditable
trails
of
storage,
can
be
really
useful
to
fight
sources
of
misinformation.
C
Another
really
cool
feature
about
the
filecoin
network
is
sort
of
infinite,
like
pricing
control,
just
in
the
same
way
that
the
the
network
allows
for
granular
differentiation
of
storage
properties.
It
also
allows
users
and
both
clients
and
miners
to
enter
only
into
the
economic
contracts
that
are
affordable
for
them.
So
you,
as
a
person,
who's
storing
data
on
the
network.
C
C
The
other
thing
as
well,
which
is
you
know,
one
of
the
main
reasons
that
filecoin
was
created
to
begin
with,
was
this
idea
of
having
data
persistence
on
a
fundamentally
peer-to-peer
storage
network?
Obviously,
protocol
labs
is
also
the
you
know.
Creating
team
and
organization
behind
ipfs
and
one
of
the
things
that
we
saw
with
ipfs,
was
that
it
was
really
successful
for
peer-to-peer
storage
but
because
participants
nodes
on
the
network,
weren't
being
incentivized
to
keep
that
data
around.
C
Sometimes
the
data
would
be
garbage
collected
and
so
over
time,
we've
seen
kind
of
these
centralized
services
crop
up
in
the
ipfs
ecosystem
to
provide
that
missing
data
persistence
functionality,
but
filecoin
sort
of
has
this
like
natively
decentralized
data
persistence
functionality,
just
in
the
in
the
way
that
the
network
has
been
designed,
and
then
the
last
thing
also,
which
is,
I
think,
touch
on
it.
C
A
few
different
points,
but
all
of
the
content
that
is
stored
on
the
filecoin
network
is
also
addressed
by
a
content
identifier
or
a
cid,
which
is
the
same
as
how
content
is
addressed
in
the
ipfs
system
as
well,
and
so
we've
carried
over
a
lot
of
those
properties
into
because
filecoin
and
ipfs
are
in
many
ways
like
the
same.
They
use
the
same
underlying
protocols.
Those
properties
also
exist
in
the
filecoin
network
as
well.
C
So
these
are
some
of
the
core
features
that
exist
in
filecoin.
Today,
but
you
know
this,
is
you
really
should
think
of
this
as
just
kind
of
the
ground
layer
and
there
it's
just
the
beginning?
C
There
really
is
just
so
much
more
that
can
be
built
on
top
of
this
foundation
to
make
filecoin
extremely
useful
for
a
number
of
different
use
cases,
a
number
of
different
types
of
developers
as
well,
and
so
I
wanted
to
touch
on
some
of
the
things
that
others
in
the
ecosystem
are
building
to
make
filipino
really
really
useful
and
and
also
just
using
in
their
own
applications
and
use
cases.
C
Filecoin
today
is
a
rapidly
growing
ecosystem.
There
are
thousands
of
people
who
and
organizations
who
are
working
towards
this
common
goal.
This
mission
that
I
mentioned
before,
of
building
a
decentralized,
efficient
and
robust
foundation
for
humanities
information.
C
There
are
more
than
250
developer
teams,
there
are
have
been
more
than
4
500
individual
people
who
have
made
open
source
contributions
to
many
of
the
different
repos
that
are
sort
of
within
the
file,
king
ecosystem
and
project
and
hundreds
of
miners
providing
more
than
an
exabyte
sorry
xb
bite
at
this
point
of
storage
capacity.
C
So
you
know
the
main
net
launched
a
little
bit
less
than
two
months
ago
and
we're
already
starting
to
see
just
a
huge
amount
of
activity
in
the
ecosystem,
which
has
provided
some
really
cool
examples
of
what
people
are
already
doing
and
some
direction
into
kind
of
like
what
remains
and
what's,
the
space
of
future
opportunity.
Look
like
one
example
is
a
project
called
slate
and
I
don't
have
the
url
up
here,
but
you
can
check
it
out
at
slate.host.
C
It's
a
really
beautiful
product
which
is
essentially,
you
know
intending
to
be
like
a
first-class
user
experience
product
that
is
built
on
top
of
fundamentally
like
a
totally
decentralized
stack.
So
it's
built
on
top
of
ipfs
filepoint
and
the
textile
staff
as
well.
C
If
you
haven't
checked
it
out,
I
would
definitely
recommend
trying
it.
It's
really
cool
to
just
have
this
sort
of
experience
and
not
even
have
to
know
that
under
the
hood
is
a
bunch
of
like
really
interesting
decentralized
technology,
it's
a
product
that
just
works
and
it's
also
fully
open
source,
and
so,
if
you're
looking
to
build
these
sorts
of
user-facing
applications
on
top
of
the
ipfs
and
filecoin
stack.
Slate
is
a
really
good
example.
For
that.
C
Another
really
awesome
project,
that's
being
built
by
the
fleeq
team,
is
called
space
and
space
is
actually
it's
awesome.
It's
both
a
developer
product
because
they
have
kind
of
a
daemon
that
abstracts
away
a
lot
of
the
complexity
of
dealing
with
the
various
different
apis
of
ipfs
and
filecoin,
and
I
think
they
also
have
incorporated
some
decentralized
identity
solutions
as
well
into
the
space
stamen.
C
So
there's
kind
of
this
like
developer
tool
component,
which,
if
you're
looking
to
build
user
facing
applications
again
on
like
a
fully
web3
stack
space
statement,
is
kind
of
a
good
option
to
consider
there
and
they've
also
built
this
space
application,
which
is
really
like
a
drop
box.
Basically,
that's
built
with
the
space
back
end
running
on
top
of
a
space
demon,
but
looks
like
dropbox
and
feels
like
dropbox
and
is
starting
to
get
us
much
closer
to
like
building
these
really
great
products
on
top
of
a
web3
stack.
C
So
space
is
really
great
as
well,
and
it
should
definitely
you
should
definitely
check
it
out.
Other
really
cool
use
cases.
So,
over
the
last
few
months,
we've
seen
an
increasing
number
of
use,
cases
that
are
sort
of
bridging
file
coin,
with
different
types
of
decentralized
finance
needs
and
one
that
we've
seen
recently.
Is
this
what
what
is
also
built
by
the
consensus
codify
team?
C
It's
called
the
d5
bridge
and
it's
essentially
a
bridge
to
be
able
to
convert,
fill
filecoin
tokens
to
ethereum
tokens
using
renfill
and
which
is
like
very
useful.
You
know
for
a
number
of
different
d5
applications
like
being
able
to
loan
filecoin
tokens
out
to
let's
say
you
know,
miners
who
need
them
or
being
able
to
stake
filepoint
as
well.
C
There
are
a
number
of
decentralized
video
projects
that
are
using
filecoin
as
their
storage
backend
as
well.
Two
that
are
listed
here
are
one
is
called
foodify
and
then
another
one
is
called
file.video,
which
is
a
collaboration
with
live
peer,
and
then
there
are
increasing
number
of
folks
who
kind
of
are
like
were
originally
primarily
focused
within
the
ipfs
ecosystem
and
are
also
now
starting
to
integrate
some
of
the
unique
filecoin
features
into
their
projects.
C
One
example
here
is
a
project
called
query,
and
this
team
is
like
really
amazing
and
they've
started
using
filecoin
for
versioned
backups
of
the
data
sets
that
are
being
stored
within
the
query
network.
There's
a
link
here
as
well,
so
you
can
they
kind
of
wrote
both
like
a
tutorial
for
how
they've
managed
to
integrate
filecoin
with
their
existing
ipfs
functionality
and
and
also
like
how
it's
working
for
their
own
system.
So
they
have
some
stats
about
their
own
file.
C
Coin
storage
as
well
on
this
link,
another
project
which
many
folks
may
be
familiar
with
open
bazaar.
The
open
bazaar
team
also
has
a
mobile
product
called
haven
and
haven
now
exposes
filecoin
as
well
as
a
as
a
payment
option.
So
we
don't
talk
about
this
one
as
much.
C
But
you
know,
filecoin
for
payments
is
a
totally
valid
use
case
and
again,
I
think
the
the
haven
integration
is
like
very
is
completely
open
source,
and
so
people
should
definitely
feel
free
to
take
a
look
at
how
this
team
used
filecoin
for
payments
in
a
popular
commerce,
product.
C
So,
in
the
other
project
I
briefly
mentioned
before
about
genocide.
Testimonial
archives
is
called
starling
and
we
had
when
we
launched
the
file
coin
mainnet.
There
was
a
big
event
that
we
produced
is
called
falcon
liftoff
week
and
there's
some
really
great
talks.
One
is
called
from
storage
to
justice
about
this
particular
project
really
inspiring,
and
it
goes
into
a
lot
more
detail
about
this.
How
this
project
actually
works,
but
really
the
collaboration
here
was
intended
to
take
this.
C
You
know
nine
petabyte
genocide,
testimonial
archive
and
find
a
way
to
securely
store
it
on
a
decentralized
storage
network
like
filecoin,
and
so
there
were
a
number
of
like
really
valuable
tools
that
came
out
of
that
collaboration
as
well,
and
one
is
called
starling.
So
you
can
go
to
starlingstorage.io,
and
it
includes
some
of
the
links
for
this
tool
that
you
can
use
to
store.
Really
massive
data
sets
to
filecoin
so
again,
like
petabyte
scale,
datasets.
C
We've
also
started
to
see
some
games
being
built
on
the
filecoin
network
and
on
top
of
data,
that's
being
stored
on
the
file
code
network.
This
is
one
we're
also
working
with
a
number
of
other
groups
who
are
bringing
their
games
to
file
coin
as
well,
and
in
a
recent
project
that
we've
blogged
about
on
the
falcon
blog,
it's
called
filecoin
discover-
and
this
is
again
just
really
I
mentioned
before
you
know.
C
We
really
really
believe
in
preserving
and
storing
humanity's
most
important
information,
there's
something
like
two
and
a
half
quintillion
bytes
of
data
that
we
generate
as
a
society
as
a
world
every
single
day
and
a
lot
of
that
data
is
actually
thrown
away,
especially,
like
you
know,
lots
of
telemetry
telemetry
data
logging
data
things
that
can
be
extremely
useful
for
scientific
analysis
and
research.
C
But
you
know
it's,
maybe
just
the
the
owners
of
that
data
have
deemed
that
it
doesn't
make
sense,
maybe
to
like
it's
too
cost
prohibitive
to
store
that
incremental
piece
of
data
for
the
value
that
they
predict.
C
It
might
bring
to
their
future
analyses
and
so
a
lot
of
times
that
data
is
just
thrown
away,
and
so
we
think
that
you
know
that's
a
shame
like
we
shouldn't
be
throwing
a
lot
of
this
data
away
and
in
fact
there
are
other
data
sets
that
are
super
valuable
for
humanity
that
exist
today,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
they
can
be
preserved
for
the
long
term
and
a
network
like
filepoint
is
perfectly
built
to
solve
that
need.
So
we
began
this
project
to
store.
I
think
you
know.
C
Our
ultimate
goal
is
to
store
something
like
100
petabytes
of
the
world's
most
valuable
data
sets
on
the
filecoin
network
and
we've
built
an
interface
as
well,
so
that
you
know
the
data
sets
that
we
have
stored,
some
of
which
are
pictured
here,
can
be
accessed
and
sort
of
viewed
and
downloaded,
and
it's
all
being
kind
of
powered
by
the
filecam
network.
C
Powergate
is
a
you
know,
really
really
awesome
project
that
is
built
by
the
textile
team
and
it's
again
an
open
source
solution.
It's
sort
of,
like,
I
think,
a
layer,
two
solution,
almost
on
top
of
ipfs
and
filecoin,
that
allows
people
to
not
have
to
deal
with
kind
of
the
the
specifics
of
interacting
with
either
system.
C
They
can
interact
with
a
much
simpler
interface,
which
is
the
powergate
interface
and
yet
be
able
to
store
data
in
this
kind
of
like
multi-tiered
way,
so
that
it
hits
both
like
the
ipf's
public
network.
Also,
the
filecoin
public
network
and
data,
when
it's
being
retrieved
can
be
retrieved
through
the
hottest
layer
in
which
the
the
data
is
available,
and
so
that
enables
some
like
really
interesting.
C
Caching,
strategies
for
people
who
are
using
powergate
today
as
a
storage
backend
for
their
solutions,
they've
been
able
to
see
some
really
significant
reductions
in
the
cost
of
storage,
because
they
kind
of
have
this
like
multi-tiered
storage
strategy,
truffle
as
well,
which
I'm
sure
almost
everyone
here
is
familiar
with.
Truffle
truffle
now
has
a
native
command
that
sort
of
allows
you
to
directly
preserve
your
application
data
on
the
ipfs
and
filecoin
networks,
which
is
super
super
cool
and
also
later
this
year.
C
Truffle
will
be
adding
a
ganache
integration
that
allows
for
kind
of
a
local
file.
Point
simulator
that'll,
be
super
helpful.
I
think
for
development
on
the
fireplace
network
and
another
really
interesting
and
exciting
project
is
infura.
So
insurance
now
has
a
file
coin
api
in
beta.
If
you're
as
awesome,
I
think
we
all
think
it's
super
great,
and
now
they
also
support
file
queen
as
well
so
great
to
see
that
come
alive,
and
then
you
know.
C
Of
course
there
is
the
the
several
implementations
of
the
file
coin
protocol,
including
forest
by
the
chainsafe
team,
which
has
been
a
monumental
effort
and
just
like
super
super
amazing
work
has
gone
into
making
this
this
additional
implementation
of
the
filecoin
protocol.
C
So
you
know
lots
of
work
here
to
make
many
implementations
come
to
life
and
so
yeah
so
sort
of
just
like
zooming
out
a
bit.
You
know
there's
there's
a
lot
going
on
and
across
a
number
of
different
verticals
of
development
in
the
falcon
ecosystem,
but
still
this
is
just
the
beginning,
so
I
wanted
to
seed
some
ideas
for
what
given
where
we
are
today.
What
are
some
of
the
things
that
you
might
consider
building
if
you're
interested
in
contributing
to
this
ecosystem?
C
I
think
there
are
some
really
immense
opportunities
to
build
like
very
valuable
businesses,
really
really
compelling
products
and
extremely
useful
developer
tools.
So
I
wanted
to
touch
on
some
of
those
ideas
just
to
get
some
of
the
creative
juices
flowing.
As
a
reminder,
filecoin
is
a
lot
of
things.
It's
a
storage
network,
it's
also
a
set
of
protocols,
it's
also
a
payment
mechanism,
and
if
you
choose
to
build
in
it,
you
know
like
you'll
see
it
really
is
a
very
thriving
ecosystem.
C
So
when
we
think
about
the
storage
use
case,
I
think
there
are
so
many
opportunities
here,
but
just
a
few
that
really
are
top
of
mind
are
just
really
thinking
about.
You
know
what
are
some
of
these
next
generation
dapps
that
can
make
use
of
this
unique
property
that
falcon
has
natively
of
being
able
to
establish
data
trails
and
data
authenticity.
C
C
I
think
filecoin
is
the
perfect
storage
solution
for
this
idea
of
data
marketplaces,
where
you
know,
individuals
or
institutions
can
kind
of
surface
their
their
data
and
others
who
want
to
run
analyses
on
their
data,
perhaps
can
like
pay
them
a
small
fee
to
be
able
to
access
like
some
subset
of
the
data
that
they're
making
available,
there's
so
many
different
iterations
on
these
ideas,
and
so
many
different,
you
know
perceived
needs
and
so
on,
but
I
think,
ultimately,
you
probably
want
like
a
fundamentally
decentralized
network
to
power,
a
marketplace
like
this,
and
one
also
that
has
some
notion
of
economics
embedded
in
it.
C
So
I
think
falcon
is
really
really
a
great
now
that
this
network
exists.
I
think
data
marketplaces
would
be
a
great
idea
to
reinvest
in
and
see
how
we
can
make
those
a
reality.
C
I
think
there's
a
huge,
a
huge,
huge
space,
still
a
huge
amount
of
surface
area
to
look
at
what
do
these
storage
bridges
look
like
between
the
various
amazing
smart
contract
platforms
that
exist
out
there
and
a
network
like
biocoin
and
also
other
storage
networks,
not
just
filecoin,
but
I
think
we're
we're
really
seeing
a
need
for
some
of
these,
like
more
native
storage
bridges
to
exist,
and
that's
something
that
I
don't.
I
think
people
you
know
it's
like,
there's
not
that
much
happening
here
yet
and
it's
like
hugely
valuable.
C
I
think
there's
a
really
big
opportunity
there
for
sure
building
smart
contracts.
That
aggregate
over
large
data
sets,
I
think,
is
another
like
interesting
opportunity
to
look
into,
and
this
is
a
more
minor
one,
but
you
know
like
storing
game
assets
and
virtual
world
data
on
a
network
like
this.
C
You
know
where
those
assets
can
be
accessed
by
many
different
games,
potentially
or
like
a
universe
of
different
like
mini
games,
I
think
is,
is
a
promising
direction
as
well
for
the
file
coin
storage
use
case,
then
we
think
when
we
think
about
filecoin
for
payments.
I
think
the
fact
that
you
know
filecoin
is
the
medium
of
exchange
that
you
use
to
buy
and
sell.
Storage
on
the
biocoin
network
makes
means
that
it's
like
a
very
seamless.
C
It
should
probably
be
like
in
many
cases,
kind
of
the
the
natural
payment,
medium
of
exchange
for
user
applications
that
have
some
notion
of
like
user
storage,
so
any
application
that
wants
to
expose
to
its
users
some
sort
of
like
decentralized
storage
and
wants
users
to
be
able
to
directly
pay.
For
that.
I
think
you
know
it
totally
makes
sense
to
use
a
system
like
filecoin,
for
that
there
are
all
sorts
of
like
file
coin
wallets
and
thinking
about
like
how
to
integrate
file
code
wallets
and
have
standalone
file.
C
Coin
wallets,
and
things
like
that
to
make
to
enable
these
sorts
of
more
flexible
use
cases
that
I
think
there's
a
huge
space
there
that
still
hasn't
been
fully
explored
and
then
still
a
huge
amount
of
opportunity
for
collaborations
between,
like
thinking
about
how
file
coin
can
be
used
in
various
dfi
use
cases
as
well.
C
And
then
this
is
like
kind
of
the
biggest
category,
because
I
just
think
there
are
so
much
to
do
when
we
think
about
like
developer
tools
and
utilities
and
various
layer,
two
protocols
that
can
take
like
this
fundamental
infrastructure,
a
file
coin
and
like
the
layer,
one
protocols
that
exist
and
really
just
take
it
to
the
next
level.
C
So
I'll
just
quickly
talk
through
a
few
of
these,
you
know
definitely
seeing
a
need
for
like
more
solutions
for
node
observability
and
allowing
users
to
be
able
to
understand
like
resource
consumption
of
their
nodes
and
also,
if
they're,
making
storage
deals
like
monitoring
the
life
cycle
of
those
storage
contracts.
C
Decentralized
databases
that
can
like
sort
of
natively
use
filecoin
as
a
storage
layer
in
some
like
clever
solutions
for
indexing
content,
that's
being
stored
into
the
network
and
also
ideally
like
public
indices
of
content,
is
where
that
makes
sense,
so
that
anyone
in
the
world
can
kind
of
like
retrieve
data
and
be
able
to
interact
with
it
for
their
own
applications.
C
This
is
kind
of
related
to
the
former
one,
but
like
solutions
for
content
discovery,
lots
of
improvements,
I
think,
can
still
be
made
in
like
layers
of
abstraction.
On
top
of
how
do
you
make
deals
on
the
network?
How
do
you
like
batch
your
storage
in
ways
like
how
do
you
know
how
to
optimize,
how
you're,
interacting
with
the
storage
components
of
the
system,
to
make
it
like
really
easy
to
use
payments
as
well?
C
So,
like
you
know
just
thinking
about
what
is
a
potential
layer,
two
solution
look
like
so
that
you
don't
need
to
create
new
payment
channels,
potentially
for
every
single
time.
You
want
to
make
a
storage
deal
on
the
network,
but
like
batching,
some
of
these
payments,
so
some
of
like
the
efficiencies
we've
seen
with
lightning
network
and
other
networks
like
that
yeah,
maybe
another
one
that
I'll
call
out
here
is
minor
discovery
and
reputation
system.
C
So
I
surfaced
a
couple
of
these,
but
I
think
these
are
still
really
nascent
and
just
thinking
about
very
rich
ways
that
we
can
kind
of
expose
this
differentiation
that
exists
in
the
storage
market
to
the
broader
world
of
users
will
be
super
valuable
and
we're
seeing
a
huge
need
from
it
today.
Like
you
know,
every
day
I
hear
people
like
users
on
the
system
asking
me
like.
Oh
you
know
how
do
I
know
like
a
miner
who
meets
x,
y
and
z
like
capabilities?
C
How
do
I
know
how
to
find
that
person?
So
I
think,
there's
like
definitely
a
big
need
here
as
well,
for
helping
users
find
storage
miners,
think
of
it
kind
of
like
the
airbnb
ui
or
something
but
for
for
miners
on
the
coin
storage
network
and
then
I'll
just
plug,
because
I
think
chainsafe
is
just
so
at
the
nexus
of
so
many
different
ecosystems
that
this
audience
may
find
relevant
like
just
bridges
to
like
across
the
various
projects.
C
I
think
are
badly
needed
and
definitely
in
the
case
of
file
queen
as
well.
We
would
love
to
see
much
more
of
this,
so
this
is
my
my
last
reminder
to
you,
but
you
know
this
is
really
just
the
beginning,
there's
so
much
to
do
and
if
you're
interested
in
getting
started
in
this
ecosystem,
I
wanted
to
highlight
three
main
resources,
so
the
first
is
taking
I'm
definitely
taking
a
look
at
the
falcon
documentation
site,
it's
kind
of
like
the
go-to
place
to
learn
about
all
things
file
coin.
C
We
have
a
really
active
file,
clean
slack
workspace.
You
can
join
via
this
link
and
that's
where
you
can
get
in
touch
with
myself
and
a
number
of
members
of
the
file
crane
like
protocol
labs
team
and
like
the
entire,
several
thousand
member
community.
It's
a
really
active
place,
it's
a
little
overwhelming,
but
there's
a
lot
going
on
and
that's
the
best
way
to
kind
of
get
further
direction
on
any
of
the
projects
you
might
be
interested
in.
C
We
also
have
a
youtube
channel,
which
I
think
actually
contains
some
of
the
best
educational
content
that
we
have
about
how
to
develop
in
the
ecosystem
and
also
like,
what's
going
on
with
other
members
of
the
community,
so
definitely
take
a
look
at
the
youtube
channel.
There,
there's
probably
something
in
there.
That
will
be
really
interesting
to
you
and
that's
it
thanks
so
much
for
the
time
and
if
you
decide
to
participate
in
the
falcon
community
and
ecosystem,
I
am
always
available
on
five.
A
A
Awesome
super
great,
so
I
hope
you
upload
your
slides
somewhere,
so
we
can
access
them
for
later
reference.
Yes,
so
you've
got
one
question
here.
The
question
is
for
a
regular
person
who
knows
nothing
about
decentralization
or
doesn't
care.
What
kind
of
unique
products
are
impossible
to
build
in
web
2
that
we
can
expect
to
see?
Maybe
in
web
3.
C
That's
a
really
great,
really
great
question
yeah
I
mean
I
think
that
there
are
two
sort
of
like
categories
of
use,
cases
that
I
think
I
think
of
as
the
like
web
3
web
2,
relevant
web
3,
enabler
bull,
but
probably
not
web
2
enabled
and
so,
and
specifically,
when
I
think
about
decentralized
storage,
because
that's
just
I
spent
a
lot
of
my
time
thinking
about,
but
it
does
center
around
these
ideas
of
verified,
storage
and
sort
of
like
data
marketplaces.
C
So
I
do
think
that
we're
increasingly
starting
to
see
people
care
about
the
veracity
of
information
that
exists
in
like
digital
information
that
exists
in
the
world.
People
are
increasingly
caring
about
like
misinformation,
and
things
like
that.
C
C
And
I
think
that
this
is
this
is
where,
like
a
network
like
biocoin,
is
super
interesting,
because
I
can
totally
imagine
a
world
in
which,
like
every
article
that
is
ever
written
right,
like
is
posted
on
a
blockchain
somewhere
or
it's
like
posted
in
a
decentralized
storage
network,
and
there
is
some,
like
you
know,
cid
or
something
that
like
when
you
go
to
the
decrypt
website
or
whatever,
like
the
new
york
times
website.
C
It'll
show
the
content
hash
for,
like
that
particular
file,
and
if
some
like
random
website
somewhere
is
trying
to
claim
different
sorts
of
information,
maybe
like
taking
some
of
the
components
but
like
twisting
them,
and
it's
like
at
later
moments
in
time.
You
can
just
sort
of
it
just
gives
people
more
information
to
be
able
to
reason
about
like
that
content
and
see
what
they
think
actually
makes
sense.
C
So
I
think
that
trying
to
find
some
way
for
this,
like
verified
storage
component,
to
enter
into
our
like
mainstream
media
and
our
just
like
how
we
interact
with
information,
will
be
super
interesting.
C
I
think
it's
something
that
can
be
built
in
web
2
land,
but,
like
you,
don't
have
to
care
about
decentralization
for
that
and
then
the
other
one
is
is
really
like
data
marketplaces
too,
and
I
think
that's
just
because
I
think
we're
increasingly
starting
to
see
people
care
about
privacy,
and
I
think
you
know,
systems
that
enable
people
to
interact
with
digital
solutions
and
services
but
without
having
to
like
reveal
all
of
their
information
unless,
unless
they
choose
to
like
they
opt
in,
and
maybe
it's
for
like
a
fee
they're
earning
something
on
the
basis
of
that,
I
think,
is
very
interesting
too
and
could
kind
of
fit
into
like
some
of
the
like
products
and
solutions
that
exist
in
the
world.
C
A
Yeah,
that's
totally
a
great
answer
because
it
seems
like
when
we're
googling
things
nowadays
or
maybe
it's
just
me.
It's
like
I
get
less
and
less
information,
and
maybe
more
and
more
targeted
advertising,
so
it'd
be
really
great
to
get
some
verified
data
and
totally
a
trail
of
all
of
that,
and
I
think
you
also
touched
in
your
presentation
that
a
bunch
of
data
that
is
prohibitively
expensive
to
store
would
now
be
enabled
in
web3.
