A
Hey
everybody,
so
my
name
is
Matt
and
I
am
from
pinata.
We
are
a
company
leveraging
ipfs
or
the
interplanetary
file
system
to
help
a
lot
of
companies
solve
a
lot
of
problems
they're
experiencing
in
the
web
3
space.
So
we've
learned
a
lot
in
the
past
year,
we've
been
working
and
we
fear
to
be
helpful
to
describe
a
little
bit
of
the
use
cases
that
we're
seeing
our
customers
and
what
they're
encountering
when
they're,
using
IP
FS
to
build
in
their
applications.
A
So
a
little
bit
of
a
background.
The
way
that
we
store
and
move
data
on
the
Internet
is
outdated.
We've
progressed
a
lot
since
the
early
days
of
the
Internet
and
we've
had
we've
had
some
lessons
and
we've
also
forgotten
some
lessons.
So
we
currently
rely
on
a
cloud
infrastructure
that
ignores
the
advantages
of
peer-to-peer
technologies
in
the
early
days
of
the
web.
Peer-To-Peer
technologies
were
abundantly
used.
They
provided
a
way
that
was
efficient,
that
can
move
content
between
users
of
a
network,
but,
as
the
web
grew
centralized
cloud,
computing
models
became
much
more
prevalent.
A
Unsurprisingly,
at
many
companies
chose
the
path
that
made
things
easier
and
chose
the
route
of
the
centralized
clouds,
but
what
if
we
could
combine
the
best
of
the
cloud
and
still
get
the
benefits
of
peer-to-peer
technology
and
what
I
mean
by
this
is
making
peer-to-peer
technology
as
easy
as
using
modern
cloud
infrastructure.
We
can
totally
do
this
so
to
do
this,
pinata
uses
IP
FS,
it's
a
new,
powerful
and
very
feature-rich
peer-to-peer
technology.
A
Ipfs
is
usable
on
almost
any
device.
It's
incredibly
powerful
in
that.
In
that
aspect
it
lets
companies
store,
but
also
move
data
intelligently
across
servers,
desktops
mobile
devices
and
even
IOT
devices.
So
IP
FS
does
this
and
it
provides
data
integrity
through
what's
called
native
immutability.
This
means
that
applications
can
no
with
absolute
t-that.
The
data
they're
working
with
has
not
been
tampered
okay.
So
before
explaining
that
why
apps
are
leveraging
this
movement
of
data
and
data
integrity
with
pinata,
we
need
to
describe
how
these
apps
are
set
up
and
why
they're,
integrating
with
us.
A
So
every
use
case
is
a
little
bit
different
and
luckily
IPF
s
is
super
extensible.
In
that
respect,
our
users
are
all
building
with
their
own
unique
IP
FS
patterns
and
they're
doing
things
in
their
own
unique
way,
but
they
all
have
one
thing
in
common:
they
need
stability
and
they
need
speed.
This
is
where
pinata
helps
developers
can
leverage
the
benefits
of
peer-to-peer
technology
without
having
to
deal
with
the
complexities
of
developing
and
maintaining
their
own
custom
infrastructure.
A
We
make
peer-to-peer
easy,
ok,
so
now
that
we
know
kind
of
what
users
are
doing
and
that
they
have
such
different
use
cases.
Let's
learn
through
what
they've
built
here's
some
of
the
most
prevalent
ways
that
companies
on
our
platform
are
leveraging
the
benefits
of
ipfs.
A
common
use
case
is
peer-to-peer
messaging,
so
ipfs
allows
for
new
novel
ways
of
securely
communicating
across
the
web
developers
use
pinata
to
make
sure
their
users
messages
are
always
available
for
retrieval
when
the
users
need
it
most.
Another
use
case
is
web
site
hosting.
A
A
So
what
this
means
is
that
users
can
visit
a
web
site
and
know
that
the
data
they're
retrieving
from
that
web
site
is
what
they're
expecting
to
get
and
that
they're
not
being
subjected
to
a
man-in-the-middle
attack
through
our
partnership
with
CloudFlare.
We've
made
sure
that
websites
on
IP
FS
are
both
stable
and
fast.
Lastly,
content
delivery.
This
is
a
super
important
use
case
of
IP
FS
and
is
one
of
the
use.
Cases
were
most
passionate
about.
Ipfs
allows
companies
to
build
their
own
on
demand
or
elastic
CDN.
A
So
when
users,
an
applic
patience,
retrieve
content
on
ipfs,
they
become
providers
of
that
content.
This
means
that
the
next
user
that
needs
that
data
is
going
to
get
it
faster
and
because
this
content
is
being
distributed
by
the
users
themselves,
content
providers
can
realize
the
modern
benefits
of
CDNs
without
the
massive
massive
cost
associated
with
using
them.
This
organic
user
driven
CDN
approach
eliminates
a
massive
capital
barrier
that
many
startups
in
today's
world
face
when
trying
to
scale
their
platforms.
A
Okay,
so
for
users
that
are
looking
to
sign
up
for
pinata,
you
can
do
it
pretty
easily.
Just
search
pinata,
ipfs
and
you'll
be
taken
to
our
website,
pretty
easy
to
sign
it
up,
just
sign
up
for
free
and
what
this
requires
is
just
putting
in
your
email
address
yeah.
So
I
don't
have
a
fake
email
address
on
me
right
now
and
we
require
our
users
to
sign
up
and
verify
their
email
address.
A
Okay,
so
now
we're
in
the
pinata
platform,
we
found
that
the
most
effective
way
to
get
our
users
involved
with
our
ecosystem
is
to
take
them
straight
to
the
documentation.
Most
of
our
customers
are
gonna,
be
developers,
so
it
makes
sense
to
send
them
to
the
place
that
they're
probably
going
to
care
about
the
most.
Here
we
talk
about
what
you
do
with
your
API
key,
how
you
get
connected
with
the
API
test
to
make
sure
things
are
working
correctly.
We
provide
extensive
documentation
on
how
to
do
this.
A
You
can
do
it
through
postman,
which
is
a
common
UI
application
that
developers
use
to
test
out
REST
API
s,
and
then
we
also
provide
Java
Script
examples.
This
is
a
pattern,
that's
repeated
throughout
our
documentation
and
if
you
don't
want
to
use
the
API
itself,
we
also
provide
an
SDK
that
you
can
integrate
into
your
node.js
j/s
applications.
A
Okay,
so
surprisingly,
a
lot
of
people
using
our
platform
are
also
not
developers.
They're
people
wanting
to
try
out
ipfs.
For
the
first
time,
maybe
they've,
learned,
hey
I
can
host
a
website
on
ipfs.
That
sounds
like
fun,
but
I'm
not
a
developer,
so
we
provide
an
easy
way
to
do
that.
We
have
an
upload
section
of
the
website
or
you
can
come
in
and
you
can
upload
files.
A
You
can
upload
directories,
which
is
what
people
use
when
they
want
to
host
websites
and
also
for
those
of
you
that
are
developers
or
hosting
stuff
on
ipfs,
and
you
don't
really
want
to
go
through
the
API
to
get
us
to
save
your
content.
We
allow
you
to
just
provide
us
a
hash
and
then
we'll
grab
it
for
you,
and
you
can
see
the
progress
of
that
as
things
progress.
So
what
happens
when
we
upload
stuff?
A
We
also
have
what's
called
a
pin
Explorer,
it's
a
bunch
of
tests
demo
stuff
here,
but
this
allows
our
users
to
see
what
they've
pinned
and
have
kind
of
an
overview
of
what
they're
all
using
within
their
application.
They
can
see
the
total
amount
of
data
they've
stored
with
us,
the
total
amount
of
pins.
They
can
see
the
size
of
their
individual
files
and
we
also
provide
a
gateway
that
allows
users
to
quickly
view
that
content
so
say.
I
have
a
lovely
photo
of
pinatas
in
a
pasture
I
want
to
show
it
to
my
friends.
A
I
can
quickly
do
that
by
clicking
on
the
gateway
link.
We
can
quickly
allow
users
to
delete
data
as
well.
Let's
say
I
want
to
remove
that
pinata
past
your
picture,
I
can
remove
it
it'll
be
successfully
unpinned
from
our
nodes,
and
now
you
are
no
longer
being
charged
for
us
store
in
that
data.
We
charge
our
users
based
on
a
familiar
cloud
model,
which
means
that
you're
gonna
be
prorated
on
what
you
store.
If
you
only
want
to
store
things
for
a
day,
that's
okay,
you
can
store
it
for
a
day.
A
Delete
it
and
you'll
only
be
charged
for
the
amount
of
data
that
you
stored.
On
that
given
day
you
can
search
for
stuff,
you
can
do
all
sorts
of
fun
features.
I
won't
get
into
that.
If
you
want
to
learn
more
about
it,
I'd
recommend
just
checking
out
the
website
yourself,
but
that's
kind
of
a
quick
process
of
how
to
use
pinata.
A
So
we've
also
seen
apps
focus
on
the
immutability
aspect
of
ipfs.
Blockchain
applications
are
leveraging
ipfs
and
mass
blockchains
are
really
good
at
time.
Stamping
data
but
they're
really
bad
at
time.
Stamping
a
lot
of
data
store
in
one
photo
on
a
blockchain;
it
would
cost
thousands
of
dollars
and
it's
not
really
possible
to
do
all
at
once.
So
how
do
you
get
around
this
with
ipfs?
You
can
leverage
the
immutable
tamper-proof
nature
and
how
ipfs
signs
its
content
to
basically
time
stamp
content
without
actually
putting
all
of
that
content
on
the
blockchain
itself.
A
A
Applications
are
being
built
that
allow
scientific
collaborators
to
share
their
data
with
each
other
throughout
the
world.
The
way
that
ensures
data
integrity,
something
that's
crucial
to
the
scientific
community,
so
I
haven't
mentioned
one
of
the
most
valuable
features
of
ipfs
a
side
effect
of
the
way
that
ipfs
handles
data
is
that
when
data
is
repeated,
it
doesn't
take
up
more
disk
space.
