From YouTube: What's Under the Textile Bridge? A Tech Talk
Description
The Textile bridge has allowed many blockchains to integrate seamlessly to Filecoin so they can begin providing simple, permissionless storage to their communities. Hear about the technicals of this bridge from Textile CEO Andrew Hill.
A
Some
of
you
may
be
wondering
what
bridge
we're
talking
about,
and
so
I
wanted
to
give
that
to
you
just
up
front,
because
I'm
going
to
go
on
a
little
journey
along
along
the
side
along
a
different
path
to
start,
so
you
can
find
more
about
the
bridge
at
ethdot
storage.
I'm
also
going
to
talk
about
a
concept
with
the
building
that
hopefully
will
lend
itself
to
a
lot
of
what's
coming
in
the
vm
in
the
near
future.
A
Called
five
point
deal
auctions,
and
you
can
find
more
about
that
at
this
tiny
url
I'll
get
back
to
those
at
the
end,
but
I
want
to
talk
about
the
bigger
picture
first.
Why
are
we
talking
about
all
of
this
and
for
me,
the
bigger
picture
really?
Is
important
because
it
drives
all
of
textiles
vision
and
mission
and
really
helps
us
figure
out
what
we
want
to
be
building
and
who
we
want
to
be
helping
with
technology.
A
So
I
want
to
start
with
a
little
story
that
I
think
many
people
watching
probably
are
familiar
with
the
first
part
of
it,
but
let's
start
with
kardashev
scale,
so
in
1964,
kardashev
came
up
with
this
idea
that
we
could
describe
the
progress
of
civilizations
in
the
universe
by
the
amount
of
the
amount
of
energy
that
they
were
able
to
harness,
and
so
he
had.
He
initially
just
had
three
types
of
civilizations:
a
type
one
civilization.
A
That's
able
to
harness
all
the
energy
that
that
arrives
at
its
host
planet,
a
type
two
civilization
is
able
to
harvest
all
the
energy
that
is
emitted
from
its
host
star
and
a
type
three
civilization
is
one
that
can
harness
all
the
energy
of
an
entire
galaxy,
and
you
can
see
there's
something
like
a
billion,
a
billion
orders
of
magnitude
between
just
the
last
two.
So
these
these
scales
are
huge.
Unfortunately,
humans
aren't
even
on
this
scale,
there's
no
type
zero.
A
In
the
initial
scale-
and
we
don't-
we
don't
harness
all
the
all
the
energy
of
our
entire
planet.
Yet
so
that's
interesting,
but
I
think
even
more
interesting
is
an
idea
that
carl
sagan
came
up
with,
as
were
most
of
his
ideas,
but
he
said
there's
another
criterion
that
we
could
measure
civilizations
by
and
that's
the
amount
of
information
that
they
store
and
I
think
what
he
really
meant
by
store
here
is
have
access
to.
A
A
Okay,
so
what
does
it
mean
to
know
information?
We
need
to
unpack
this
a
little
bit,
so
we
can
arrive
at.
How
do
we
use
that
to
to
classify
and
understand
the
progress
of
civilization?
So
what
does
it
mean
to
really
know
information,
and
I
think
using
that?
Yes,
no
framework
really
helps
here,
and
so
he
said
he
said,
store,
meaning
access
to.
So
knowing
information
means
having
access
to
it.
A
So,
let's
see
it
in
action
because
what's
really
interesting,
is
that
each
question
that
you
ask
divides
the
universe
into
two
portions,
two
bits,
and
so
as
an
example,
we
have
this
universe
of
things
and
I
imagine
a
thing
now
you
want
to
get
to
what
that
thing.
Is
you
ask?
Is
that
thing
an
object?
So
in
that
first
question
you've
created
the
first
bit,
then
you
might
ask.
Is
it
biological?
A
So
in
three
questions
of
three
yes,
no
questions.
We've
we've
created
an
eight
bit
universe,
so
in
the
game
of
20
questions,
so
it's
2
to
the
20.
So
just
over
a
million
bits
of
information
and
we
love,
we
love
base
10,
so
something
like
10
10
to
the
6.
Roughly
so
carl
sagan
said:
okay,
that's
a
great
starting
place
to
measure
the
progress
of
of
a
civilization
ten
to
the
six
and
he
said:
let's
build
a
scale
from
that.
A
Let's
start
there
and
say
every
time
we
move
up
the
scale,
we'll
describe
a
more
advanced
civilization
on
the
information
scale,
so
type
a
civilization.
He
said
had
ten
to
the
six
bits
of
information
accessible
to
it
and
then
moving
up.
He
arrived
at
the
type
h
civilization,
with
10
to
the
14
bits
his
estimate
of
how
much
information
1970s
humans
had
available
to
them.
A
A
more
recent
estimate
on
this
scale
says
that
humans
in
2018
were
type
j
civilization,
and,
and
so,
if
we
multiply
that
by
a
million
we
get
to
the
type
q
civilization,
so
this
would
be
a
galactic
civilization
with
the
information
of
a
million
worlds
like
our
own,
and
so
this
goes
all
the
way
up
to
type
z,
which
is
something
that
carl
sagan
posited,
wouldn't
even
be
possible
given
the
age
of
the
universe.
Yet,
but
this
is
really
cool,
so
humans
are
currently
type
j
civilization.
A
A
What
I
think
is
really
interesting
when
you
look
when
you
look
at
it.
That
way
is
something's
holding
us
back
and
I
know
something's
holding
us
back,
but
I
have.
I
don't
have
a
lot
that
I
can
show
you,
but
I
can.
I
can
give
you
the
same
feeling
and
that's
why
I'm
telling
you
this
story.
So
my
feeling
is
that
there's
something
odd
going
on
right
now
between
the
information
that
we
create,
as
as
a
civilization
and
the
information
we
have
access
to
the
key
to
moving
across
the
scale.
A
So
as
time
has
moved
move
forward,
our
creation
of
information
has
really
gone
exponential,
but
our
access
to
information
has
trailed
behind
that
and
that
information
gap,
I
think,
is
what
is
what
is
leading
to
a
lot
of
uneasiness
and
especially
in
technologists
today
we're
in
this
period
of
runaway
information
creation.
So
if
you
think
of
early
days
of
the
of
the
of
networks
of
computer
networks
and
emails
and
message
creation
that
information
creation,
just
in
your
personal
life,
has
run
away,
so
it
moved
to
shopping
and
clicks
and
behaviors
online.
A
It's
led
to
a
number
of
great
innovations
in
technology,
but
over
a
long
period
of
time.
This
could
be
very
bad,
and
this
can
be
very
bad
if
we
think
about
our
progress
through
the
scales
of
civilization,
and
so
I'm
sorry,
carl,
we
might
be
stuck
for
a
while.
If
we're
not
careful,
we
may
not
move
as
fast
through
these
scales
as
we
as
we
as
we
would
hope
to.
A
So
how
can
we
fix
this?
Well,
I'm
a
big
believer
that
one
of
the
first
ways
that
we
fix
it
is
with
storage,
and
that's
why
we're
so
excited
about
vilepoint
is.
It
starts
with
access,
it
starts
with
preservation
and
decentralized
storage
offers
us
the
hope
that
information
can
truly
be
made
free
to
all
of
society.
A
This
is
very
intentional
wording.
Exchange
is
bi-directional,
implies
value,
it
has
multi-actors,
it
has
permissions.
We
think
this
is
actually
something
that
we
can
measure
as
a
company.
We
can
measure
our
impact
here,
and
it
starts
with
actually
just
looking
at
how
much
data
we
can
move
across
peers
in
the
networks
that
we
create.
A
Let's
look
at
some
of
the
things
that
we've
already
built.
So
one
of
the
experience
experiments
that
we're
doing,
which
I
think
will
lead
right
to
the
fpm
when
it
lands
is
actually
new
deal
making
on
the
filecoin
network.
So
we
created
an
auction
system
that
has
stored
over
150
terabytes
to
date
on
the
filecoin
network.
A
This
is
a
simple
protocol
that
makes
it
so
that
storage
providers
can
bid
for
access
to
storage
deals.
We
launched
this
in
august
and
we
are
now
processing
anywhere
from
five
to
six
terabytes
a
day.
This
gets
a
lot
easier
when
we
have
the
fdm
and
we
can
actually
decentralize
some
of
the
pieces
that
we've
just
stood
up
to
experiment
with,
but
for
this
is
this
is
really
exciting.
It's
moving
towards
that
idea
of
exchange
and
movement
of
data
between
peers
on
the
network
and
we're
trying
to
tune
this
for
thousand
communities.
A
All
of
the
community
can
access
and
potentially
it's
forkable.
So
you
can.
We
can
imagine
multiple
lives
for
that
data
asset
going
forward.
That's
so
exciting
to
me.
We've
also
built
a
bridge
to
this
network,
so
permissionless
fast
and
interoperable
bridge
called
ethot
storage.
So
if
you
go
to
ether
storage,
you
can
take
a
look
at
this
and
this
is
meant
to
bring
storage
to
some
of
the
biggest
web
3
communities
that
are
out
there.
A
And
I
want
to
give
a
shout
out
to
the
miners
that
are
working
with
us.
So
if
you
are
one
of
the
miners,
that's
already
working
with
us
you've
been
awesome.
You're
helping
us
build
this
neat
tap
into
this
network
of
decentralized
storage
providers
on
filecoin,
but
so
we
built
a
tool
so
that
miners
can
actually
help
us
move
data
across
the
network
faster.
So
they
run
a
simple
node
next
to
the
filecoin
mining
operation
called
bitbot.
A
If
you
are
a
miner
and
you're
watching
this
or
a
file
coin
storage
provider
and
you're,
watching
this
definitely
check
out
that
repo.
It's
super
easy
to
set
up
but
yeah
you
set
it
up
and
it
gives
you
access
to
this
auction
stream
and
you
immediately
start
storing
data
from
from
the
feed,
and
this
actually
will
help
us
grow
throughput,
and
it
helps
us
ensure
that
our
users
have
this
globally
distributed
ever
growing
hard
drive
and
that's
backed
by
file
points.
Cryptographic,
storage,
proofs.
A
A
So
where
is
this
going?
Like?
I
already
said:
community
owned,
decentralized,
affordable
data
silos
for
humanity.
Silos
are
a
key
insight.
I
think
here,
because
the
ability
for
community
to
run
these
silos
will
be
directly
tied
to
their
value
to
capture
or
their
ability
to
capture
value
from
them.
Recall
data
has
gravity.
A
We're
excited
to
take
carl's
vision
for
where
humanity
goes
all
the
way
to
the
next
letter
and
beyond.
So
that's
what
I
have
to
share
about
bridges
today,
but
thanks
a
high-throughput
storage
protocol
for
communities
is
in
the
works.

very
much
for
