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
