Looking
back
at
the
past
year,
post
filecoin
launch
in
october,
we
have
seen
an
explosion
of
growth
of
the
network.
Available
storage
capacity
now
reached
more
than
12
ebytes
of
data.
There
are
more
than
3
000
storage
providers
around
the
world,
contributing
storage
and
retrieval
services
to
the
network.
A
So
in
short,
the
supply
side
of
filecoin
is
thriving
and
now
we're
super
excited
to
turn
to
the
demand
side
of
things
and
to
bring
more
and
more
organizations
who
have
large
data
sets
and
who
need
storage
and
so
we're
launching
project
gravity.
It's
a
referral
program
that
aims
to
reward
community
members
who
help
bring
successful
new
use
cases,
as
well
as
clients
to
filecoin.

So
that's
one
example:
another
one
is
internet
archive
internet
archive
has
been
collaborating
with
protocol
ops
on
onboarding,
a
2016
end
of
presidential
term
data
set
to
filecoin,
and
the
goal
is
to
enable
researchers
and
public
interest
groups
to
retrospectively
analyze
data
after
a
change
of
leadership
similar
to
the
show
foundation.
Storing
this
information
on
falcon
was
a
perfect
fit
for
the
foundation's
goal.
A
A
A
Second,
the
first
sector
of
the
proof
of
concept
piece
needs
to
be
sealed
before
december
1st.
So
it's
a
it's
a
limited
time
offer
we're
looking
for
net
new
organizations,
so
the
ones
that
have
not
stored
data
on
file
or
ipfs.
Yet
and
finally,
you
know
the
organization
needs
to
be
comfortable
to
talk
publicly
about
our
collaboration,
because
we
want
to
we
want
to
advertise
it,
and
we
want
to
make
it
known
to
the
community,
and
there
is
no
limit
to
how
many
referrals
can
be
submitted
to
to
participate.
