Description
Filecoin Meetup Paris 2022
A
Awesome
yeah,
thank
you,
I'm
Alan.
We
also
in
addition,
have
the
rest
of
the
Falcon
Green
Team
here,
there's
Caitlyn
here
and
and
a
moza
and
Orion
here,
so
we're
all
around.
So
if
you
have,
if
you
have
questions
on
you
know
anything,
we're
doing
you
know,
find
us
or
or
or
any
of
these
These
Fine
people
yeah,
so
I
think
I
wanted
to
start
up
by
saying
we
we
met
up
in
Paris
yesterday
and
Mark.
A
B
Yeah
totally
Hey
everybody.
My
name
is
Mark
awesome
to
be
here
and
actually
before
we
get
into
this,
the
events
team
killed
it
once
again,
just
want
to
give
a
shout
out
to
them
unbelievable
place
in
Paris
with
AC
and
obviously,
as
we've
just
mentioned,
I
mean
who's
been
hot.
This
week,
yeah
a
little
bit,
maybe
today,
as
you're
walking
around
well
you're,
not
alone
and
I'm.
Sorry
to
break
this
news
to
you,
but
you
might
want
to
get
used
to
it.
B
This
Is,
The,
New
Normal,
just
today
in
the
UK
they
set
an
all-time
record,
breached
39
degrees
for
the
first
time
ever
and
I,
don't
know
if
it's
up
in
the
last
hour
or
so,
but
we
were
just
approaching
41
degrees
here
in
Paris,
which
also
has
never
been
achieved
before.
Just
last
month
in
Spain,
over
30
000
hectares
were
burned
to
the
ground.
B
That's
75,
000
Acres
that
were
burned
to
the
ground
and
really
what
all
of
these
recent
events
really
highlight,
in
my
mind,
is
exactly
what
the
climate
scientists
have
been
telling
us
for
years
now
right.
The
United
Nations
environmental
program,
which
is
stationed
here
in
Paris
they
release
a
landmark
report
every
year,
titled
the
emissions
Gap
report
assessing
how
sustainability
initiatives
and
policies
around
the
world
are
mapping
to
our
dire
need
to
decarbonize
the
global
economy
and
in
last
year's
emissions,
Gap
report
in
2021
they
highlight.
B
B
We
have
no
other
choice.
We
must
drastically
and
rapidly
decrease
the
emissions
in
our
atmosphere
at
a
scale.
Wind
speed
never
before
achieved,
and
what
this
imperative
really
really
demands
of
us
is
that
we
as
a
global
Society
countries,
corporations
and
individual
consumers,
Drive
Collective
actions
towards
decarbonization
efforts
once
again
at
a
scale
on
speed.
Never
before
seen
and
well,
I
should
say
that
not
all
is
dire.
There
are
signs
of
Hope
governments,
local
Regional
and
National
are
starting
to
mandate.
B
Climate
risk
disclosures
for
corporations,
and
some
policy
makers
are
even
going
a
step
further
in
implementing
carbon
adjustment
mechanisms
on
imports
and
exports
across
National
boundaries.
Furthermore,
corporate
actors
are
taking
a
pretty
aggressive
stances:
they're
starting
to
implement
more
rigorous
and
stringent
environmental
policies
into
their
corporate
actions.
Financiers
are
starting
to
ask
what
the
environmental
impact
of
corporate
operations
are,
and
even
individual
consumers
are
starting
to
say,
okay,
what
is
the
environmental
impact
of
this
product
or
the
service
that
I'm
about
to
to
purchase?
B
So
that's
all
great,
but
underlying
all
those
questions
or
all
those
policy
pledges
and
corporate
actions
are
two
crucial
questions.
Will
this
be
enough
in?
How
do
we
track
real
progress
and
really
what
we
talk
about?
A
lot
is
the
potential
for
blockchain
networks
and
crypto
Primitives
to
drive
Collective
action
towards
reducing
emissions
and
showcasing
industry-wide
decarbonization,
and
hopefully
you
know
creating
new
demand
for
clean
Technologies
to
at
least
mitigate
or
alleviate
some
of
these.
You
know
very
dire
climate
scenarios
that
we're
seeing
unfold
right
now
and
on
into
the
future.
A
And
I
think
that
really
brings
us
to
something
that
we
think
a
lot
about
in
falcoin
green,
which
is
how
is
crypto
going
to
help
us
solve
this
right?
Why
do
we
need
web3
tools
in
order
to
understand
what
our
impacts
are
across
the
economy,
on
the
climate
and
on
natural
systems
in
general,
and
to
take
action
to
reduce
and
mitigate
those
and
one
of
the
one
of
the
the
frames
I?
A
Think
of
a
lot
for
this
is
that
kosa's
theory
of
the
firm
if
you're
familiar
with
this,
is
this
idea
that
firms
exist
so
companies
exist.
Centralization
in
the
economy
exists
as
an
information
crutch,
so
the
boundary
between
the
interior
of
a
firm
or
a
company
and
the
the
exterior
of
a
firm
has
to
do
with
with
what
types
of
Agreements
are
allowed
to
make
right.
A
So
firms
make
simple
agreements
with
other
firms
because
they
don't
trust
the
people
in
those
other
firms,
so
they
can
just
they
can
just
pass
really
simple
information
between.
They
can
make
very
complex
long
time-bounded
agreements
like
employment
contracts
within
a
firm,
because
there's
this
presumption
of
trust
right
and
the
economy
is
built
on
on
that
right.
It's
built
on
this
informational
Crunch
and
what
we
have
in
web
3
now
for
the
first
time
is
this
whole
range
of
tools
and
governance
structures
that
are
going
to
allow
us
to
pass
information.
A
How
can
we
take
those
proofs
from
the
network
on
chain
and
translate
those
into
proofs
of
energy
use,
so
we
launched
the
filecoin.energy
dashboard,
which
allows
you
to
see
based
on
information
from
the
Falcon
blockchain,
how
much
energy
is
being
used
to
store
files
over
time?
So
then
we
took
the
next
step,
which
is
to
say:
okay,
we
understand
how
much
energy
these
individual
nodes
are
using.
What
can
we
do
to
connect
those
nodes
to
renewable
energy
and
so
also
in
the
falcoin
dashboard
if
a
file,
a
node
you're?
A
You
can
dial
in
the
idea
that
storage
fighter
you
can
see
what
their
energy
use
profile
is
over
time,
and
if
they've
bought
renewable
energy,
you
can
then
download
the
actual
certificate,
proving
that
they've
bought
renewable
energy,
not
just
in
general,
but
from
a
specific,
solar
or
wind
or
Hydro
producer
in
a
region
nearby
that
Falcon
storage
fighter,
and
you
can
actually
see
how
much
renewable
energy
was
purchased
in
order
to
store
my
files
and
where
was
it
purchased
from
who
was
a
purchase
from
what
type
of
energy
was
it?
And
so
this
is.
A
These:
are
the
sorts
of
tools
we're
talking
about
right,
we're
using
this
verifiability
that
we
get
by
by
building
all
these
systems?
So
so
you
know
filecoin
especially
using
this,
this
web3
native
Paradigm
and
we're
then
connecting
it
in
a
granular,
verifiable
way
to
actual
renewable
energy
purchases.
And
so
that's
a
big
part
of
what
we're
doing
is
is
doing
the
the
both
research
and
implementation
of
those
sorts
of
tools
in
order
to
allow
us
to
be
very
granular
and
verifiable
about
our
environmental
claims
and
then
we're
taking
the
next
step.
A
B
But
because,
with
filecoin
we
have
these
on-chain
proofs
of
the
storage
capacity
or
of
the
computational
resources
contributed
to
the
network
on
a
continuous
basis.
We
can
turn
those
into
very
granular
data
about
the
network,
energy
use
and
turn
it
into
these
very
awesome
dashboards
that
we've
developed.
The
team
has
developed
to
explore
this
information
over
time.
B
So
back
to
your
point
about
the
way
in
which
actually
another
point
with
regard
to
the
connecting
to
the
renewable
energy,
you
know
we
are
incredibly
committed
to
decarbonizing
the
file
coin
Network
in
record
time
and
as
a
testament
to
that
commitment
right
now.
Protocol
labs
and
the
filecoin
foundation
are
currently
procuring
enough
wrecks
to
match
to
the
upper
bound
energy
use
estimate
of
the
entire
network.
This
calendar
year
to
date,
we've
reached
more
than
the
middle
line
estimate
about
the
estimate.
B
Anticipate
reaching
the
upper
bound
to
energy
use
estimate,
which
is
significantly
higher
than
the
actual
use
of
the
network
by
the
end
of
Q3,
2022
or
20
yeah
22
this
year.
So
what
that
means
is
that
by
the
end
of
next
quarter,
the
entire
filecoin
network
will
run
exclusively
on
renewable
energy,
yeah
huge,
huge
thing
there.
B
Now
to
your
point,
it's
certainly
not
Our
intention
to
continuously
procure
rex
on
behalf
of
the
network.
That
is
surely
a
very
cost
efficient
way
to
run
out
of
money,
but
we
want
to
develop
guidance
and
we
have
developed
guidance
to
suggest
how
storage
providers,
all
the
individual
storage
providers
can
decarbonize
their
operations
in
a
very
rigorous
and
comprehensive
way.
B
So
we've
spent
a
lot
of
time
developing
guidance
documentation,
that's
intended
to
identify
and
Define
a
ton
of
best
practices
in
terms
of
greenhouse
gas,
accounting,
renewable
energy
procurement
and
a
slew
of
related
topics
to
help
them
move
towards
that
more
sustainable
future
and
to
go
above
and
beyond
that,
because
we
recognize
that
just
providing
this
guidance.
Documentation
may
not
be
enough
to
incentivize
them
and
drive
this
Collective
action
that
we're
really
seeking
to
achieve.
B
We
have
also
proposed
something
called
the
filecoin
green
pledge,
which
is
a
kind
of
a
first
of
its
kind
pledge
that
storage
providers
can
commit
to
to
Showcase
their
their
commitment
to
decarbonizing
their
operations
across
their
their
Global
operations
and
really
what
that
means.
You
know,
as
a
storage
provider,
if
you
want
to
adhere
to
the
filecoin
green
pledge,
then
you
need
to
meet
certain
requirements
and
certain
reporting
requirements.
If
they
will.
B
into
the
guidance.
Specifically,
we
recognize
very
quickly
that
we
needed
to
provide
this
guidance
to
Showcase
how
people
can
decarbonize
their
their
operations
because,
unfortunately,
it's
not
you
know.
Decarbonizing
an
operation
is
not
a
straightforward
manner.
The
kind
of
standard
go-to
approach
for
decarbonizing,
something
is
to
quantify
your
impact.
B
By
conducting
a
greenhouse
gas
emissions,
calculation
then
seek
every
possible
way
that
you
can
to
mitigate
and
reduce
those
emissions,
and
then,
if
there
are
any
emissions
unaccounted
for,
that
you
were
not
able
to
reduce
and
mitigate,
then
you
seek
to
procure
high
quality
offsets
to
fill
that
very,
very
small
remainder
that
Gap.
However,
99
times
out
of
100
corporate
actors,
sometimes
countries
and
individual
consumers
do
a
very
hand.
Wavy,
carbon
accounting
exercise
skip
that
middle
and
crucial
crucial
step
and
just
procure
a
bunch
of
low-cost
offsets
and
with
low
cost
generally
comes
low
quality.
B
A
And
I
think
again
that
that
really
highlights
how
we're
able
to
work
with
environmental
data
in
web
3
in
ways
that
are
very
difficult
or
impossible
in
web
2
right
we're
reaching
into
the
network
we're
trying
to
understand
in
a
granular
and
verifiable
way
exactly
what
is
happening
in
that
Network.
Exactly
what
are
those
environmental
impacts
and
then
not
just
jumping
to
an
overall
offset
calculation,
but
trying
to
one
by
one
node
by
node
reduce
those
environmental
impacts.
A
If
you're
interested
in
this
in
the
sort
of
philosophy,
I'd
point
you
to
a
great
book
called
why
Net
Zero
is
Not
Enough
by
Holly
Jean
Buck.
The
point
is
that
if
you
imagine
a
world
in
a
few
decades
in
which
the
world
is
net
zero
emissions,
because
we
emit
a
lot
of
carbon
and
then
we
pull
a
lot
of
carbon
out
of
the
air,
that's
a
very
different
world
from
one
in
which
we
are
Net
Zero,
because
we
don't.
We
don't
emit
carbon
right.
A
So
when
you're
emitting
carbon,
you
are
solidified,
find
this
fossil
fuel
supply
chain.
That's
you
know
causing
pollution,
it's
causing
environmental
degradation,
it's
causing
all
sorts
of
effects
other
than
just
the
carbon
right,
and
so
we
really
believe
that
we
have
this
opportunity
to
rebuild
how
our
economy
processes,
environmental
information,
and
we
need
to
do
that
in
a
web.
Creative
way
allowing
us
to
look
at
you
know
effect
by
effect
and
reduce
that
effect.
A
B
I
was
gonna,
say:
that's
that's
one
example
of
the
ways
in
which
we're
trying
to
catalyze
this
nascent
space
of
environmental
web
3
projects.
We
also
just
ended
our
hackathon,
our
sustainable
blockchain
hackathon,
ended
yesterday.
I
think
it
was
10
a.m,
Paris
time
CET,
8,
A.M
UTC
and
we
were
like
just
overwhelmed
with
the
amount
of
participation
and
the
great
projects
that
came
out.
A
Now
is
that
currently,
when
a
company
wants
to
prove-
or
you
know,
say,
they're
sustainable,
they
hire
an
auditor
that
auditor
goes
through.
All
their
books
tries
to
understand
what
are
their
emissions
so,
where
those
missions
come
from
they
you
know
they
look
at
receipts,
they
look
at
Transportation,
they
look
at
products
purchased
and
they
try
to
understand.
What
overall,
is
the
sustainability
profile
or
the
emissions
profile
of
this
company?
A
So
that's
the
that's.
The
vision
that
the
stamp
of
blockchain
summit
is
organized
around
is
is
bringing
people
together
who
have
the
Deep
expertise
in
web
3
people
who
have
deep
expertise
in
environmental
accounting
and
really
looking
at.
How
can
we
build
a
version
of
a
greenhouse
gas
protocol
that
is
web3
native
that
allows
us
to
take
this
information
and
pass
it
through
the
economy
in
minutes
not
in
months?
So
that's
going
to
be
happening.
This
Friday
and
Saturday.
