Description
Join Ally Haire of Filecoin for a workshop titled "Making Data Useful with Decentralised Compute".
We are incredibly excited to welcome back a community favorite: From June 2-21, 2023 we are joining forces for the fourth year in a row with Protocol Labs, one of the ecosystem's biggest open-source research, development, and deployment laboratories. Their projects include IPFS, Filecoin, libp2p, and many more.
If you enjoyed last year's HackFS event, strap in—because this year will be even more phenomenal!
For the first time, we will have prizes from The Filecoin Virtual Machine (FVM) for a HackFS, a runtime environment for smart contracts (also called actors) on the Filecoin network. FVM brings user programmability to Filecoin, unleashing the enormous potential of an open data economy. We are excited to respond to a highly requested community demand after our successful hacks FVM Space Warp in February of this year and Hack FEVM which took place in November of last year with this!

We
can
see
plenty
of
evidence
of
that
so
advances
in
healthcare
inventions
like
the
sewing
machine,
washing
machine
and
printing
press
and
then
even
onto
the
more
modern
era
of
computers,
the
Internet
and
mobile
phones
and
in
my
lifetime,
I've
seen
that
so
you
can
probably
guess
my
age
from
that.
But
these
things
have
really
drastically
improved
the
lives
of
millions
and
they've
paved.
The
way
supports
a
major
social
changes
and
also
a
rethinking
of
the
value
and
role
of
people
in
society
as
well.
B
I
would
say,
which
is
another
societal
challenge
for
us,
but
while
Tech
creates
some
amazing
New
Frontiers
for
us
and
including
it
especially
now
with
AI
chat,
gbt
Rising
into
the
mainstream
and
disrupting
things
as
well,
it's
incredibly
important
that
we're
kind
of
making
sure
this
Tech
infrastructure
we're
building,
enables
and
even
enforces
the
values
that
we
need
in
it,
that
of
fairness,
trustlessness
and
openness.
We
need
from
our
Tech
and
that
this
Tech
underpins
the
real
goal
for
Tech
and
scientific
breakthroughs,
which
is
to
me
that
of
improving
The
Human
Condition
anyway.
B
I
will
get
off
my
soapbox,
but
this
is
really
some
of
the
motivation
well
behind
why
I
work
at
protocol
labs
and
behind
what
we're
trying
to
achieve
here
at
protocol
labs
and
filecoin.
So
as
we
all
know,
data
is
really
essential
to
our
daily
lives,
but
a
majority
of
our
data
is
kind
of
held
in
these
centralized
monopolies
in
the
web
2
world,
and
this
leads
to
like
some
really
big
engineering
and
social
issues.
So
much
like
the
D5
movement
is
aiming
to
democratize.
B
The
financial
industry
and
inject
more
trust
and
competence
into
that.
Farcoin
is
aiming
to
democratize
this
data
economy
and
the
Internet
by
building
out
these
purpose-built
internet
scale
distributed
Network
for
data.
So
you
know
back
with
at
the
launch
of
falcoin
this
data
storage
blockchain
in
2020.
B
This
was
the
first
pillar
of
decentralizing,
this
data
infrastructure
and
we've
done
that
and
we're
providing
a
robust
and
scalable
market-driven
Network
for
this
decentralized
storage,
as
you'd
already,
of
course
know
probably
We've
since
recently
launched
fbm
the
evm
compatible
layer,
one
for
filecoin,
and
this
has
like
opened
up
the
bag.
A
lot
in
a
oh
opened
up.
B
What's
also
really
exciting,
for
me
is
that,
in
parallel,
we're
also
now
working
on
bringing
computation
over
data
to
filecoin
with
things
like
the
back
of
our
project.
So
this
is
bringing
the
ability
to
really
run
complex
and
robust
computations
over
all
the
useful
data
stored
on
filecoin
or
ipps
already,
which
is-
and
this
is
where
we
can
really
start
to
see
some
of
those
web
scale.
Apps
emerge
that
I
mentioned
earlier,
especially
those
that
require
kind
of
a
massive
amount
of
data
processing.
B
Also
thinking
about
creating
more
open
and
community-owned
models
for
AI
and
ml,
so
things
like
decentralized,
Ai
and
ml
training
and
collaboration,
and
also
by
the
way,
check
out
the
work
done
by
the
park
going
foundation
for
the
decentralized
web,
who
are
leading
a
lot
of
these
initiatives
that
are
shown
on
this
slide.
They're
a
really
inspiring
Bunch
over
there.
B
So
anyway,
how
do
we
go
about
all
this?
Let's
dive
into
the
actual
technicals
behind
the
compute
over
Data
Network
and
how
you
would
build
on
it.
So
Baku
yeah
is
a
peer-to-peer
open,
computation
Network,
which
you
might
have
kind
of
guessed
from
some
of
my
ravelings
already.
So
it's
a
network
of
nodes
which
provides
this
platform
for
public,
transparent
and
optionally,
very
powerful,
computation.
So
fun
fact.
B
The
name
actually
comes
from
the
abbreviation
of
compute
over
data
cod
cod,
which
is
kind
of
Portuguese,
which
the
Portuguese
of
is
bakliya
or
a
version
of
so
bakaya
was
originally
conceived
to
bring
useful
compute
resources
to
data
stored
on
the
I've,
been
pheasant
filecoin
Network.
So
it
enables
you
to
run
arbitrary,
Docker
containers
or
webassembly
images
as
tasks
against
data
and
makes
it
really
easy
to
analyze.
B
Large
data
sets,
while
bringing
kind
of
these
same
benefits
of
open
collaboration
or
data
sets
stored
in
ipfs
and
file
to
generic
compute
tasks,
and
that's
like
a
really
big
concept
and
really
awesome.
So
the
too
long
didn't
read
is
that
battery
hours
are
distributed.
Off-Chain
computation,
Network
insert
the
run
all
the
things
Emoji
here
anyway.
If
you
do
want
to
see
more
about
what
the.
B
From
last
year,
as
well,
some
of
the
use
cases
or
applications
back
there
is
kind
of
a
really
valuable
tool
for
secure,
fast
job
processing
on
large-scale
data
at
the
edge,
and
it
makes
it
really
cheap
as
well.
So
it
takes
the
power
of
compute
to
where
the
data
lives.
So
some
of
the
most
exciting
potential
applications
for
bakuyao
are
for
DSI
as
well,
as
you
know,
as
potential
for
distributed
machine
learning
and
just
centralized
AI
iot,
secure
enclaves,
fraud,
detection
and
many
many
more.
B
B
A
B
Anyway,
so
back
we
are
in
practice,
let's
dig
into
how
we'd
actually
build
on
it.
So
this
example
of
how
you
can
both
make
and
open
this.
This
example
is
found
in
our
docs.
So
it's
it's.
How
you
can
make
both
an
open
source
text,
image
script
in
Python
and
then
run
it
on
back
with
our
GPO
on
a
backward
GPU
enabled
node
with
just
a
few
lines
of
code,
so
this
is
found
in
our
docs
and
I've
also
got
a
video
out
on
it.
B
So,
let's
see
how
we
could
get
started
with
this,
so
there's
really
only
three
steps
involved
in
this
process.
So,
firstly,
you
would
write
your
script,
so
any
script
in
any
compatible,
Docker
or
wasn't
language
is
allowable
here.
So
a
lot
of
scope
there.
So
in
this
particular
example,
there's
a
python
script
which
uses
an
open
source,
tensorflow
implementation
of
stable
diffusion
and
it
has
which
has
some
pre-calculated
weights,
and
it
uses
these
to
generate
the
images
from
a
given
text
prompt
and
then
displays
the
image
they
like
in
practice.
B
You'd
want
to
return
that
image,
not
just
display
it.
So
this
is
a
basic
version.
Then,
to
use
this
script
on
Bachelor,
you
really
just
have
to
dockerize
it
and
finally
install
the
backyard
clay
in
just
what
you
know.
If
you're
going
to
use
buffer
yeah,
you've
got
to
install
it,
but
it's
just
one
line
of
command
line
code.
I
swear
super
simple,
so
you
can
then
run
this
dockeri
script
anywhere
using
the
backyard
CLI,
as
you
can
see
here.
B
So
this
will
send
the
job
to
the
back
of
your
public
node
Network,
which
is
currently
all
free
to
use
for
computation.
So
this
particular
script
is
already
dockerize,
so
you
can
try
it
out
for
yourself
without
any
of
the
effort
of
actually
making
it
as
well.
So
go
ahead
and
you
know
try
some
stable
diffusion
images
using
this
script
in
your
command
line.
If
you
like
now,
the
output
of
this
once
the
job
is
run,
is
that
the
results
are
returned
to
a
folder.
B
One
of
the
cool
things
about
vapia
is
that
it's
able
to
save
these
results
directly
to
ibfs
and
filecoin
Via
Estuary.
So
you
can
also
Define
different
outputs
for
your
configuration,
but
you
can
get
back
this
ipfs
CID,
because
these
jobs
are
saved
to
estuary,
so
cool.
We
have
a
verifiable
computation
Network
and
we
have
some
idea
of
how
to
use
it
now.
B
But
how
does
this
interact
with
fvm
if
I
I
wanted
to
build
on
the
fvm?
Well
in
terms
of
the
PowerPoint
and
fem
Network,
as
I
kind
of
mentioned
in
the
Falcon
Vision
a
little
earlier,
storage
is
really
just
a
start.
So
architecturally
we
can
think
of
the
storage
layer
filecoin
as
it's
like
layer,
zero,
and
then
this
ability
to
perform
on-chain,
computation
or
computation
over
state
which
comes
from
fbm,
brings
these
layer.
B
One
capabilities
to
the
file
coin
stack
so
bakriao
is
then
bringing
this
additional
capability
for
off-chain
verifiable,
compute
loads
on
large
data
to
the
network.
So
in
order
to
bring
the
power
of
this
compute
directly
to
your
smart
contracts,
though,
we
kind
of
developed
this
prototype
for
relaying
backyard
jobs
directly
from
your
fbm
smart
contracts.
So
this
early
prototype
is
called
lilypad
and
it
acts
as
an
initial
connector
for
these
Technologies.
So
lilypad
operates
as
this
bridge
for
calling
backyard
off
chain,
compute
jobs
from
a
smart
contract
and
for
the
devs
here.
B
The
architecture
is
fairly
straightforward
at
the
base
layout
lollipat
acts
as
a
bridge
as
I
mentioned,
but
calling
any
of
the
backyard
jobs
that
you
want
and
receiving
those
results
back
directly
from
sorry
receiving
those
results
directly
from
a
solidity.
Smart
contract
so
I
use
a
contract,
would
implement
the
lily
pad
caller
interface
and
to
call
a
job
they
then
they
make
a
function,
call
to
the
deployed
lilypad
events
contract
with
the
docker
spec
that
they
want
to
use.
B
So
this
contract
then
emits
an
event
which
the
lily
pad
Bridge
Damon
listens
for,
and
it
forwards
this
onto
the
backyard
Network
for
processing.
So
once
the
job's
complete,
the
results
are
then
returned
back
to
the
originating
user
contract
from
the
bridge
bridge,
sorry
code.
So
taking
a
look
at
this
in
practice,
we
have
an
example
in
the
GitHub,
which
is
the
same
stable
diffusion
example
as
we
saw
earlier,
but
we
have.
We
are
running
this
from
the
lily
pad
Bridge,
so
calling
it
directly
from
a
smart
contract.
B
So
I'm
just
gonna
show
you
an
example
of
how
this
would
work,
so
you
would
implement
it
in
this
smart
contract,
like
I,
said,
we've
already
got
an
example
on
the
GitHub
that
you
can
follow.
There
has
been
a
few
recent
changes,
but
basically
you
would
call
this
stable
diffusion
job,
and
this
is
just
in
this
video.
You
can
see
this
being
called
and
you
just
saw
the
vapia
logs
accepting
and
are
running
the
job
sent.
B
So
when
the
image
results
are
returned
in
an
ipfs
CID,
we
can
take
a
look
at
those
images
and
it
is
a
rainbow
unicorn
that
we
saw
just
there,
and
so
you
can
then
use
this.
This
kind
of
Lily
Pad
Bridge
as
the
basis
for
all
sorts
of
functionality
on
fbm,
including
this
kind
of
early
concept
app,
which
was
an
AI
art,
generated
nft
app
on
fbm,
which
is
also
a
video
on
f
on
each
Global.
B
This
Lily
Pad
v0
concept
into
a
more
robust
and
trustless
platform
for
decentralized,
compute
jobs,
and
this
includes
ongoing
work
into
the
game
theory
of
distributed
computing
and
working
with
early
adopters
as
well
to
identify
their
main
use
cases
for
the
platform.
So
if
this
is
you
or
if
this
is
something
that
you're
like
yes,
this
is
the
future.
This
is
something
I
want
to
be
involved
in
definitely
get
in
touch
with
us.
B
We'd
love
to
hear
from
you
or
you
know,
build
out
a
project
in
the
hackathon
that
you
know
really
blows
our
minds.
We'd
love
to
see
that
as
well,
so
just
as
an
example
of
what's
possible
when
you
can
combine
the
features
of
blockchain
with
a
decentralized
off-chain,
compute
Network
I
wanted
to
show
you
our
waterlily.ai,
so
this
is
based
on
the
lily
pad
Tech.
So
underlying
this
application
we
are
using
both
bakria
and
lilypad
on
a
private
network,
but
still
and
there's
a
full
blog
on
this
as
well.
B
You
can
go
and
have
a
look
at
that
at
developerally.com
as
well
anyway.
What
is
it?
Water
lily
is
like
kind
of
this
first
of
a
Kind
user-facing
app
and
we're
kind
of
we
aimed
to
provide
a
more
Equitable
wood
Paradigm
for
generative
AI,
art
platforms.
So
when
I
built,
like
kind
of
my
AI
art
nft
example
utilizing
you
know,
bapio
and
fbm
I
was
a
bit
like.
Oh,
is
this
a
good
thing?
Should
we
really
be?
B
You
know,
marketizing
marketizing,
I,
don't
know
like
making
money
out
of
things
that
you
know
we
didn't
even
really
create
I,
don't
know
something
about
it.
Didn't
really
really
sit
right
for
me.
So
one
of
the
main
Concepts
here
was
to
provide
this
generative
AI
art
platform
that
addressed
some
of
these
issues
and
kind
of
gave
royalties
back
to
original
artwork
creators,
which
is
like
a
really
cool
thing
that
you
can
do
with
blockchain
networks.
B
So
this
is
the
main
concept:
giving
control
back
to
creators
and
adding
this
potential
new
Revenue
stream
for
them
to
opt
into
and
explore,
while
still
giving
a
user
an
easy
way
to
create
these
generative
AI
art
and
even
nfts
that
you
know,
I
I
still
are
kind
of
more
ethical
than
the
original
versions.
Perhaps
so,
as
a
user,
you
can
navigate
to
water
lily.
You
enter
a
text
prompt
for
an
image
you'd
like
to
generate.
B
B
If
that's
something
you're
interested
in
and
we
fine-tuned
this
model
to
this
particular
artist
and
then
each
time
our
user
chooses
this
artist,
this
the
artist
is
paid
a
certain
amount
of
money
for
the
images
that
are
generated
so
for
private
artists.
They
are
paid
directly
to
their
wallet.
For
some
of
the
public
artists,
we
are
donating
those
funds
to
our
art
foundations,
one
of
which
is
gray
area,
which
is
an
amazing
art,
community
and
Foundation
based
in
San
Francisco
anyway.
B
The
point
of
this
is
I
just
wanted
to
show
you
what
maybe
is
possible
with
kind
of
some
of
this
underlying
technology
I'll
move
on
and
give
you
some
more
awesome,
hackathon
ideas
on
what
to
build,
because
it
doesn't
have
to
directly
be
fbm
and
baclia.
You
can
build
anything
you
like
with
the
backyard
Tech
without
interacting
directly
with
a
smart
contract.
That's
just
one
way
to
do
it,
so
some
some
more
ideas
for
bakia
and
lurk
by
the
way,
which
is
the
ZK
snark
language
and
lily
pads.
B
So
you
can
combine
the
power
of
compute
with
data
Downs.
That's
something
I'm
really
interested
in
seeing
I.
Think
data
towers
are
a
really
powerful
tool
in
the
far
Queen
ecosystem
are
really
unique
to
our
ecosystem
too.
So
I'd
love
to
see
them
getting
built
out
even
further,
with
like
kind
of
this
backyard
compute
power,
then
there's
also
using
these
truffle
speeches
of
blockchain,
combined
with
backyard
compute
and
or
lurk
to
solve
unique
challenges
emerging
in
the
AI
space.
B
You
know
kind
of
similar
to
what
we
did
with
water
lily,
but
you
know
I'm
sure
there
is
like
many
many
more
ideas
for
which
way
you
could
go
with
that
or
different
Industries.
You
could
do
that
with
as
well.
You
know
as
some
of
these
people
mention
in
these
tweets
there's
other
example:
ideas
we've
come
up
with
as
well
decentralized
research
framework,
there's
broad
detection
systems,
or
you
know
something.
That's
kind
of
been
really
interesting
to
me.
B
You
know:
could
we
use
kind
of
AI
compute
to
analyze
solidity
contracts?
For
you
know,
security
vulnerabilities.
That
could
be
something
that
might
be
of
interest
to
you
as
well:
decentralized
data,
aggregation,
potentially
decentralized
gaming,
now
I
think
for
the
decentralized
gaming
use
case.
What
will
be
really
cool
in
the
future
is
IPC,
which
and
I
think
IPC
crew
did
a
lecture
here
at
Eve
Global.
B
So
IPC
is
kind
of
this
subnet
interplanetary
connection,
consensus,
sorry,
not
connection,
but
it
could
be
a
connection,
interplanetary
consensus
layer
for
filecoin
and
it's
gonna
work
at
whatever
speed
you
like,
because
it's
got
a
bunch
of
subnets
under
filecoin.
So
basically
a
file
coin
layout
to
is
an
easy
way
to
talk
about
that,
but
it
can
create,
provide
really
fast
transaction
speeds,
which
you
know
would
be
great
for
decentralized,
gaining
gaming,
but
in
the
meantime,
there's
still
plenty
of
applications.
B
You
could
do
there
and
just
a
offline
to
charge
it
anyway,
decentralized
data
analysis,
obviously
with
vapio
and
fem
for
data
analysis
and
insights
generation,
decentralized,
Asset
Management.
It
could
be
called
to
leverage
baklio
and
fbm
with
some
of
the
stuff
that's
happening
in
the
D5
ecosystem,
on
filecoin,
there's,
decentralized
lending
platform,
or
you
know
even
analytics
for
Lending
platforms,
which
is
you
know,
kind
of
a
super
important
part
of
the
filecoin
market
ecosystem
and
data
ecosystem.
B
So
doing
something
like
that
could
be
really
cool,
there's
decentralized,
Insurance,
marketplaces
and
so
many
more
ideas.
In
fact,
if
you
do
want
even
more
inspiration,
we've
recently
just
held
a
compute
over
data
Summit
in
Boston,
and
there
is
a
bunch
of
talks
from
so
many
smart
people.
I
was
just
sitting
in
the
room
going.
Oh
my
God,
hopefully
like
I,
get
smarter
from
all
these
talks.
A
B
The
ecosystem,
as
well
even
more
examples,
obviously
go
and
check
out
the
dogs.
That
could
be
like
the
spark
that
you
need
to
get
started
and
otherwise
I
am
pretty
much
gonna
leave
it.
There
I
think
I'm
just
on
time,
which
is
awesome
because
I
didn't
time
that
so
get
in
touch
with
us
be
involved,
join
us
on
our
slack.
B
We've
got
our
own
slack
there,
a
bitly,
slash,
Buckle,
our
project,
slack
or
you
know,
follow
our
twitters
or
just
get
in
touch
with
me
on
the
global
Discord
and
I'll
be
happy
to
chat
with
you.
If
you
do
have
questions
exactly
I
think
Rory's
just
putting
the
chat
there,
please
feel
free
to
drop
them
here
and
I'll
be
happy
to
answer
them
as
well.
B
Oh
yeah
I
just
wanted
to
show
you.
We've
got
some
awesome
chats
happening
on
ethical
AI
discussions
in
the
bakriya
channel,
which
I've
like
really
been
following
as
well
like.
There's
some
really
great
people
in
there
talking
about
some.
You
know
really
interesting,
subject
matter
as
well,
so
come
and
have
a
look
at
that
or
if
you're
interested
just
you
know,
come
and
join
in
or
look
all
right.
Otherwise,
thank
you
very
much.
Everyone.
