Colin Evran, Filecoin ecosystem lead at Protocol Labs, said, “We are excited to celebrate another major Filecoin community conference in APAC. Centered in the beating heart of the emerging tech world, the city of Singapore will provide a great hub for this collaborative summit among developers, storage clients, storage providers and the broader community. This marks a high point of years of innovation and hard work from the Filecoin and IPFS communities. We’re excited to celebrate the achievements and progress of the network while also helping define the future of global decentralized storage and Web3 adoption.
Filecoin is the world’s largest decentralized storage network set to rival cloud-storage giants such as AWS, Google Cloud and Dropbox. Filecoin’s marketplace creates a unique sharing economy, aligning incentives and pragmatically rewarding useful and reliable storage to drive an unprecedented economy of scale for pricing storage solutions. Designed to underpin a more resilient internet, Filecoin’s committed storage capacity has grown steadily since 2020 to over 18,250 exbibytes, equivalent to approximately 1014 million copies of Wikipedia or 54.1 million hours of 4.3K recording. The network capacity comes from over 4,000 decentralized storage providers distributed around the globe. The ecosystem has grown to over 330 projects, up from 40 at the start of 2021. Various use cases have emerged, including NFTs, Web3, gaming, the Metaverse and audio/video.
Tim Guo from IPFS Force said: “FIL-Singapore will bring together the visionaries of numerous projects in the ecosystem in one place, and we can’t wait to see what new and exciting ideas emerge.”
FIL Singapore is open to everyone and provides a unique opportunity to learn, build, connect and venture into the exciting prospects of the future of Web3. Registration for the event is open now.
