Introducing the Filecoin Ecosystem Digest: All Systems Go
The Upload V42
The Filecoin ecosystem is home to developers, storage providers, and innovators embarking on a collective journey toward a decentralized future.
Published on September 4, the Filecoin Ecosystem Digest: All Systems Go is a collection of seven editorial articles authored by individuals from the Filecoin ecosystem –– the thinkers and doers behind the technology being developed across the network. This inaugural edition explores topics that impact the ecosystem, from decentralized community building to AI-generated media and enterprise solutions.
Guest editor Jonathan Victor puts the idea behind this digital magazine simply: “The Filecoin community is filled with brilliant innovators. In this Digest, we aim to assemble many voices to showcase how Filecoin is playing a critical role in the future of technology.”
Here is a glimpse of what you’ll find in this collection:
“Storage is the bedrock of data’s lifespan on the web, and atop that bedrock, the world can build so much more.”
FilOz Founder Molly Mackinlay shares her vision for three major focus areas emerging in 2024 and beyond for the Filecoin network to unlock the true potential of humanity’s data.
“The key to regaining trust lies in empowering audiences to authenticate and verify the genuineness of their news.”
It’s a major global election year and the Numbers Protocol team is leveraging blockchain technology to embed provenance into digital media –– for greater transparency and trust in a world of AI-generated media.
“How we consume, share, and store data will change radically over the next few years –– which presents an opportunity to set a course for open, interoperable communications standards.”
Dietrich Ayala lays out the state of the burgeoning space economy and the Foundation’s work to demo the Interplanetary File System (IPFS) in space to enable resilient and reliable communications.
“Green data storage providers will drive the next evolution of the cloud model, where energy and cost efficiency are not at odds but rather aligned features.”
Amid data forecasts that far surpass the world’s resources, Holon’s Heath Behncke reimagines data infrastructure to comprise green edge solutions.
