From YouTube: Filecoin Ecosystem: One Year In and Just Getting Started
Description
A data-driven highlight reel from the first year of the Filecoin mainnet. This is an exploration of the events and milestones that defined the year, including the community events that happened this week.
A
A
A
We
built
the
least
expensive,
large-scale
storage
network
in
the
world.
Current
prices
for
filecoin
is
less
than
one
percent
the
cost
of
centralized
storage.
We
built
an
environment
where
builders
can
thrive.
10
000
developers
have
entered
our
ecosystem
through
hackathons.
So
far
this
year,
250
applications
are
building
live
today
and
500
new
teams
are
entering
the
the
falcon
ecosystem.
A
The
community
has
built
the
storage
network
of
web3
over
seven
million
nfts
are
stored
on
fileclin,
making
it
the
default
place
for
nfts
to
be
content
addressed
by
pfs
and
stored
on
filecoin,
and
we
have
integrations
with
75
of
the
large
smart
contracts
blockchains
with
the
rest
of
them
planned
for
the
rest
of
the
year
and,
finally,
I'm
so
delighted
to
showcase
over
25
categories
of
use.
Cases
on
filecoin.
A
A
Over
the
last
year,
we've
seen
over
8
000
contributors
on
github
across
the
four
implementations
and
filecoin
has
become
ranked
number
four.
In
the
top
five
most
actively
developed
blockchain
protocols.
We
have
over
3
200
storage
providers
that
have
added
12
exabytes
of
storage
to
the
network.
This
is
3
billion,
1080p
movies,
1200
times
the
netflix
movie
archive
or
perhaps
1.2
million
versions
of
all
of
web3's
data,
and
we
have
an
absolutely
vibrant
and
thriving
community.
A
But
what
I'd
like
to
emphasize
is
that
filecoin
is
not
just
software.
Filecoin
is
a
rapidly
growing
ecosystem
of
thousands
of
talented
builders
working
towards
a
common
goal,
and
so
really
it's
all
about
the
builders.
The
builders
are
building
250
applications
on
file
point.
Today,
500
new
teams
are
entering
the
ecosystem.
10
000
developers
are
engaged
in
hackathons
so
far
this
year
and
over
8
000
contributors
across
four
implementations.
A
So
because
it's
all
about
the
builders,
I
thought
I'd
spend
most
of
my
talk
today.
You
know
in
rapid
fire
going
through
45
different
types
builders
and
use
cases
on
filecoin,
and
so
I'm
going
to
move
extremely
quickly.
I
wish
I
could
showcase
hundreds
more,
but
we'll
have
lots
of
time
for
that
in
future
talks.
A
So,
let's
get
started
I'll
start
with
smart
contract
integrations
we
have
completed.
The
community
has
come
completed
bridges
with
most
of
the
major
web
3
projects
in
2021,
with
more
plan
for
q4,
and
most
of
these
have
really
been
accompanied
with
ways
where
builders
can
get
engaged
joint
grants,
programs
joint,
hackathons
and
ways
where
those
teams
can
be
fed
into
accelerators
I'll
list.
A
Since
the
beginning
of
this
year,
we
started
with
a
joint
hackathon
in
the
chainlink
fall
hackathon
and
and
have
integrated
chain
links
oracles
into
filecoin's
ecosystem
and
those
participants
in
the
chain-link
hackathon
have
been
progressed
to
our
accelerator,
yielding
nine
graduates
of
different
kinds
from
the
tachyon
accelerator
program.
Just
a
few
weeks
ago,
polygon
joined
forces
with
filecoin
in
august
2021,
providing
a
fully
functional
falcon
polygon
storage
bridge
and
free
storage
available
for
polygon
developers.
A
If
you
can
believe
it.
In
the
last
six
months,
over
seven
million
nfts
have
been
stored
on
filecoin,
and
this
is
across
all
the
major
players:
dapper
open
c
jigstac
and
many
many
other
exchanges,
and
so
using
nft.storage,
which
is
an
incredible
developer
tool
for
nft.
Specifically,
it's
super
easy
to
content
address
nfts
with
ipfs
back
them
up
to
filecoin
I'll
list,
a
few
other
nft
players
that
are
starting
to
emerge
as
major
contenders
in
the
ecosystem.
A
Curio
digital
raised
a
a
very
substantial
siege
round
coming
out
of
the
long
cash
accelerator.
This
is
an
exchange
where
they
partner,
with
some
of
the
biggest
names
in
entertainment,
to
create
officially
licensed
digital
collectibles
and
celebrate
the
characters
and
moments
around
that
show
or
property.
They
were
one
of
the
the
foremost
players
to
come
out
of
the
long
cash
filecoin
frontier
accelerator
and
we're
super
excited
to
support
them
niftify.
I
just
graduated
from
the
tachyon
accelerator
a
few
weeks
ago.
This
is
super
cool.
A
A
This
is
basically
enabling
a
social
layer
to
nfts
where
you
can
manage
your
conversations
throughout
the
internet,
where
that
conversational
data
is
always
in
your
control
and
linked
to
your
decentralized
identity.
They
just
went
live
just
a
few
weeks
ago,
coming
out
of
demo
day
from
the
last
tachyon
cohort,
we'll
move
on
to
video
and
audio
lots
and
lots
to
report
here.
Videocoin
completed
their
integration
with
bilecoin
on
october,
7th,
enabling
video
nft
marketplaces
for
all
sorts
of
different
use
cases.
A
They
have
a
few
major
partners
in
the
works
that
they're
gonna
announce.
I
think
in
the
in
the
coming
weeks
or
months.
I'm
super
excited.
This
is
going
to
create
a
lot
of
buzz
in
the
ecosystem
and
so
they're,
starting
to
become
a
premier
kind
of
solution
to
transcode
store
and
retrieve
video
nfts
using
videocoin
and
filecoin.
A
A
They
recently
landed
a
pretty
major
partnership
with
tiktok,
allowing
artists
to
upload
their
music
to
tiktok
to
be
used
in
their
videos,
which
is
absolutely
incredible.
I
think
when
we
look
back
five
years
from
now,
and
once
some
of
the
most
breakout
successes
in
the
audio
vertical
audience
is
going
to
be
one
of
them.
A
A
A
It's
a
really
amazing
file
sharing
network
that
makes
it
possible
for
people
to
collect,
organize
and
link
their
files
together.
This
is
all
based
on
ipfs
and
filecoin.
Technology
is
a
great
example
for
how
to
implement
filecoin
into
an
application
and
so
check
it
out.
It's
a
really
easy
way
to
store
annotate
site
and
link
your
files,
and
my
mom
uses
slate,
which
is
absolutely
incredible.
It's
such
an
easy
program
to
use
fleek
storage
is
an
incredible
kind
of
drop,
augmented,
dropbox
implementation.
A
On
top
of
ipfs
and
filecoin
you
can
easily
upload,
pin
manage
or
tree
files
in
an
easy
to
use
interface.
It
has
blazing
fast
file,
retrieval
automatic
and
redundant
file
coin
archiving
and
it
really
mimics
an
aws
s3,
compatible
s
cli
and
sdk
and
chain.
Save
files
is
really
starting
to
become
some
of
the
premier,
easy
to
use
tech
in
privacy,
preserving
implement
a
privacy,
preserving
implementation
on
top
of
filecoin.
This
is
an
encrypted
file
storage
net
network.
All
of
your
content
is
completely
encrypted.
A
End-To-End
on
ipfs
file
coins
there's
no
way
for
organizations
to
sell
your
data,
and
this
is,
of
course,
a
fully
peer-to-peer
network
using
ipfs
and
filecoin
and
fully
pluggable
to
hook
up
decentralized
storage
to
your
applications.
If
you're
on
the
developer
side
of
things
on
the
web,
two
data
sets
lots
of
stuff
to
report
here.
The
showa
foundation
is
preserving
portions
of
their
eight
petabytes
of
testimonials
from
55
000
genocide
survivors
on
the
filecoin
network.
I'm
super
excited
for
this
data
set
to
be
preserved,
for
you
know
absolutely
centuries
to
come.
A
Czar
is
starting
to
preserve
climate
data,
so
these
are
researchers
and
developers
from
columbia,
mute
university.
These
are
petabytes
of
climate
data
all
over
the
world
and
since
it's
a
really
large
scale
at
the
petabytes,
it's
historically
been
very,
very
difficult
to
share.
It's
been
siloed
to
individual
resourcers
researchers
or
government
servers,
and
so,
rather
than
using
aws
they're
choosing
to
use
filecoin
to
preserve
these
data
sets
they're,
really
open
and
shareable
in
the
future
game.
Forest
is
a
decentralized
fund
using
artificial
intelligence
to
measure
and
reward
sustainable
nature.
A
Stewardship
opsentia
dao
is
a
really
cool
set
of
data
sets
and
a
dow
model
that
enables
sustainable
funding
models
for
scientific
data
to
be
stored
on
web3
and
specifically
on
filecoin
and
the
internet
archive.
We
just
heard
from
brewster
on
all
the
amazing
things
that
they're
doing
on
the
filecoin
ecosystem
they're
beginning
to
store
their
and
their
end
of
term
web
crawl
data
on
ipfs
and
filecoin.
Eventually,
this
will
become
over
60
petabytes
of
data
on
filecoin.
So
far,
I
think
they've
stored
about
200,
terabytes
and
growing
every
day
on
browsers.
A
A
The
puma
browser
is
an
emerging
browser
on
mobile,
that's
starting
to
become
a
wallet
for
the
web3
ecosystem.
They
enable
seamless
payments
for
creators,
apps
game
developers
and
they're
starting
to
integrate
our
technology
as
well.
The
metaverse
has
become
a
major
use
case
all
over
the
world.
We're
seeing
lots
of
ripples
here
and
filecoin
has
been
really
a
platform
of
choice
for
many
many
players
here.
Mona
is
one
of
my
favorite
ones:
they're,
building
a
metaverse
gallery
for
3d
art.
A
You
can
basically
browse
all
sorts
of
nfts
live
in
this
3d
meta
universe
and
they
recently
launched
the
filecoin
forum.
It's
200
000
of
bounties
for
artists,
architects,
gamers
to
spur
the
creation
of
3d
art
spaces.
So
if
you're
any
one
of
those
and
want
to
contribute
check
it
out,
it's
an
incredible
bounty
program.
A
Metaverse
ai
graduated,
about
eight
months
ago,
from
the
long
cash
filecoin
frontier
accelerator,
they're
working
on
vr
decentralized
identity,
but
with
3d
high
fidelity.
I've
seen
some
of
the
demos
of
this
before
it
goes
live.
It's
super
super
high
quality,
so
check
it
out
once
that,
once
that
flips
to
the
live
switch
on
games,
we
have
op
games
that
recently
raised
a
really
strong
seed
round
to
develop
players
to
discover
html5
games,
compete
in
termina
tournaments
and
buy
op
nfts.
A
So
this
is
really
at
right
at
the
intersection
between
gaming
and
nfts.
I
think
it's
going
to
be
one
of
the
most
popular
gaming
platforms
in
web
3.
and
block
bests
is
a
gaming
platform
for
skill-based
challenges
and
tournaments.
It's
a
way
to
improve
your
skills,
playing
esports
games
and
win
prizes.
This
was
a
graduate
from
one
of
our
accelerators
about
eight
months
ago.
A
All
sorts
of
different
types
of
categories
radix
is
actually
building
an
operating
system
for
the
biology
lab.
So
there's
a
tremendous
amount
of
data
and
compute
requirements
for
biology.
You
know
types
of
use
cases
with
researchers,
radix
has
chosen
to
use
ipfs
and
filecoin
for
the
storage
layer,
they're
doing
all
of
this
kind
of
compute
and
storage
in
the
cloud
instead
of
on-prem.
A
A
That's
basically
built
on
ipfs
filecoin
and
the
gnosis
blockchain
on
verifiability,
powerloom
aggregates,
all
sorts
of
on-chain
and
off-chain
data
to
create
snapshots
with
cryptographic
proofs.
They
can
basically
prove
that
a
snapshot
of
a
website
you
know
a
year
ago
or
whatever
was
the
actual
snapshot
of
that
website.
Numbers
protocol
is
doing
a
similar
thing
with
photos.
This
is
a
really
great
way
to
take
images
or
videos
that
are
completely
traceable,
trustworthy
and
one
of
a
kind
back
to
the
source.
It's
a
super
easy
to
use
app.
A
I'm
super
excited
to
see
where
they
progress
and
in
terms
of
dev
tooling.
We
have
all
sorts
of
ways
to
make
it
really
easy
for
developers
to
use.
Stylecoin
textile
auctions
is
currently
storing
163
terabytes
across
5200
deals.
They
make
it
really
really
easy
to
auction
off
a
deal
to
multiple
miners
and
maintain
that
estuary
is
one
of
the
premier
developer
tools.
They've
stored
over
285
terabytes,
9
million
files,
34
000
deals
on
chain.
You
can
use
any
browser
and
their
api
to
store
public
data
on
ipfs
or
filecoin
bill.
A
Swann
is
an
emerging
s3
compatible
api
that
is
building
a
storage
marketplace
on
filecoin
they're.
Storing
their
have
access
to
petabytes
of
available
storage
capacity
across
the
filecoin
network
and
infura
has
been
a
partner
of
ours
for
about
a
year
now,
as
part
of
a
big
partnership
with
consensus
and
they're
doing
all
sorts
of
incredible
things
to
enable
developers
to
get
access
to
ethereum
and
ipfs
and
powerpoint.
A
There
is
so
much
more,
but
the
organizers
event
will
cut
me
off
at
some
point
pretty
soon.
But
if
you
zoomed
out,
there
are
over
250
applications
building
on
filecoin,
of
which
I
covered
just
45
500
new
teams
entering
the
ecosystem,
10
000
developers
engaged
in
hackathons.
So
far
this
year
and
8
000
contributors
across
the
four
implementations
and
looking
forward.
I
think
we
are
on
track
to
5x
the
number
of
use
cases
and
the
builders
in
the
next
year.
A
A
We
have
hackathons
that
have
engaged
over
10
000
developers,
we're
now
launching
over
five
hackathons
a
month
that
each
have
an
audience
of
between
500
and
1000
developers.
We
have
lots
of
developer
grants,
available,
60,
plus
teams
graduating
from
accelerators
this
year
alone
and
over
65
million
of
external
capital
raised
to
invest
in
the
file
coin
and
ipfs
ecosystems.
A
As
a
reminder,
the
global
data
sphere
will
3x
in
the
next
four
years,
and
so
there's
lots
of
opportunities
to
onboard
client
data
project
gravity
is
just
an
easy
way
to
refer.
Data
sets
to
file
coins,
store
them
and
earn
file
points
for
doing
so
tomorrow,
I'll
be
presenting
on
how
to
catalyze
the
next
thousand
startups
in
the
file
code
ecosystem.
So
if
you're
a
builder
and
want
to
get
involved,
check
out
that
talk,
and
so
just
to
conclude
to
the
builders
in
the
file
point
ecosystem.
