Introduction to IPFS and Filecoin & how they shape the future of web3 - WORKSHOP

In this 45-minute workshop, Konstantin will introduce IPFS and Filecoin and how they accelerate the transition to Web3, a version of the web where ownership and control are more decentralized and distributed than they are today. Participants will get a high-level introduction to the technologies’ core concepts, discuss their potential in the context of web3 and learn about user-friendly tools and existing applications to kick-start their own development efforts.
The Interplanetary Filesystem (IPFS) is a peer-to-peer network and protocol designed to make the web faster, safer, and more open. IPFS upgrades the web to work in a decentralized manner, addressing data by what it is instead of where it’s located on the network or who is hosting it.
Filecoin, the world’s largest decentralized storage network, allows users to store, request, and transfer data via a verifiable marketplace. Filecoin is an entirely open-source alternative to costly cloud storage, where a blockchain network offers efficiently priced and geographically decentralized storage that ensures the persistence of user’s data.
We welcome all builders to join us and build the future of the internet together!
