Shaping The Future of Web3 at FIL Bangkok

The Upload V45

Get ready for a week of events dedicated to the future of decentralized storage. FIL Bangkok is bringing together the brightest minds in Web3 to tackle the industry’s biggest challenges and opportunities – from restoring trust in an AI-driven web to revolutionizing data infrastructure. Here's your essential guide to the community’s biggest gathering of the year: 

FIL Dev Summit 05: Bangkok

November 6-8, join forces with Filecoin developers, builders, storage providers, and community members as we catalyze the network’s next big leap forward.  

  • Charting the Filecoin Roadmap: Progress, Challenges, and What's Next: We’ll reflect on Filecoin’s current opportunities and challenges and the path we need to chart as a community. 

  • Product Market Fit (PMF) Strategies — Expanding the Filecoin Economy: Dive into Filecoin’s value proposition and how it can align with market needs. 

  • Storage Primitives, Data Applications, L2s, & Service Interop: Explore the foundation of storage services essential for building decentralized and verifiable data applications on the Filecoin network. 

  • Chain Tooling & Infra: Dive into the technical world of chain tooling and infrastructure to enhance the Filecoin network. 

  • Strategic Marketing in a Decentralized World: Learn why marketing and community building shouldn’t be the last thing on a founding team’s laundry list but an integral part of their GTM strategy.

FIL Bangkok Main Stage

The main stage is set for a powerhouse showcase of innovation across the Filecoin ecosystem. Together with CoinDesk Studios, we're spotlighting projects pushing boundaries, from breakthrough L2 solutions to network-defining upgrades accelerating Filecoin adoption.  

Here's what to expect on stage: 

From Models to Marketplaces: AI, DePIN, and Rethinking Data Infrastructure

Industry leaders at the intersection of DePIN and AI break down the evolving tech stack layer by layer — from decentralized storage and compute to models, agents, and real-world data integrations. Critical components for this converging market come together to explore: Why does AI need DePIN? And equally existential: Does DePIN need AI?

Where DePIN Meets AI

In the realms of DePIN and AI, storage isn’t the endgame — it’s just the beginning. The Filecoin ecosystem features an evolving world of L2s, tools for cross-chain applications, and a core protocol serving as the DePIN primitive for AI. Check out what’s new in the growing Filecoin ecosystem and the themes that are driving network-wide innovation. 

TRUST 2024: Combating Misinformation in Election Media with Decentralized Tools
