Revolutionizing decentralized storage with high throughput & low fees ⚡️
A threat to the Web2 cloud behemoths ⚔️
Call it the decentralized Dropbox or Airbnb for cloud storage ☁️
Here's an in-depth look at @Filecoin 🧵

Call it the decentralized Dropbox or Airbnb for cloud storage ☁️
Here's an in-depth look at @Filecoin 🧵
🤔 Think of Filecoin as an online marketplace to store data, where you can rent out storage just as you'd rent a room at @Airbnb
The idea behind Filecoin was to provide a decentralized solution to online storage providers & protocols & eliminate the need for central data storage

Facebook, Instagram and TikTok will be dead in 10 years
Influencers are gaining power, and they’re tired of unequal economics and the constant threat of censorship
They’ll soon lead a “great migration” to decentralized platforms like @LensProtocol
Here’s why and how

#LensProtocol is a decentralized “social graph” that allows users to own their online relationships and content (we’ll explain what this means below)
It has not yet released a token, but over 100K lens #NFTs trade on OpenSea with an average floor price of $108

What is FEVM?
1/4 The #FEVM is an implementation of the #EVM on the #Filecoin network. It allows developers to port EVM-based smart contracts onto the #FVM, where they are called actors, and is compatible with #EVM development tools such as #Hardhat, #Brownie, and #Metamask.

1. To analyze the economics of using tokens, i.e. tokenomics, one has to first understand what tokens are. Not all tokens are made equal.

2. According to the SEC, there are 2 kinds of tokens: security tokens and utility tokens. “Security tokens'' are mostly tokens that represent entitlements of future potential cash flows or profit, while “Utility tokens” are tokens that can be used to redeem a product or service.
3. However, tokens can be further divided into 4 categories: general payment tokens, platform tokens, product tokens, and cash flow based tokens.
1/ We've been working on Exactly that, for some time now. While the general idea is nice and correct...
Leveraging existing GPU mining infra to do ZK is in fact FAR from straight forward.
Time for a thread!🧵👇

2/ GPU mining was dominated by #Ethereum mining which is now, post merge, no longer possible.
So we came up with the idea of helping the community repurpose their GPUs for ZK compute a few weeks ago...

Which took us completely by surprise! (surely, we thought, miners with tens of thousands of GPUs had a plan B for after the merge, right? well no.. but that's another story to tell)

In IPFS, your data is stored in 'nodes'. Every file is sharded and stored into multiple nodes connected to the network.
However, nodes have limited capacity. Nodes will routinely empty themselves to make room for new data to be stored on them. (By default, the threshold is set at 90% but you can manually edit this)
I was researching and building something on top of decentralised storage networks and there service providers and here is my findings 🧵👇
@IPFS/@Filecoin - Its a decentralised peer to peer based storage protocol which uses content addressing to store data. Whenever you upload something on it, The content is hashed and it acts as a id to lookup and retrieve it on the network.
If you upload same content, its id will be same(no redundant data). There are many service providers/tools on top of ipfs. Some of the widely used ones are @infura_io , @pinatacloud , @nft_storage , @Web3Storage , @LighthouseWeb3 , @storj . Lets have a look on them👇
What is Web 3.0?
Web3 is not the future, it is already killing it in the present 🔥
Understanding web 3 is quite a daunting task, especially for Non-Tech peeps. 🤔

#web3 #internet #evolutionofweb #web2 #web1
In order to understand what is web3, we need to understand how the web has revolutionized over time! 🤔
Web 1 (roughly 1990-2005) was about open protocols that were decentralized and community-governed. Most of the value accrued to the edges of the network — users and builders.

👉These are the metrics you need to understand Starboard’s Filecoin Network Health Dashboard (dashboard.starboard.ventures), which presents comprehensive key insights to the health of the #Filecoin Network. [PART 1: STORAGE CAPACITY]
1/ There are three metrics used in our Network Storage Capacity graph: Total RB Capacity, Total QA Capacity and Change in RB Capacity.
2/ These are some key things to consider when reading the Network Storage Capacity graph:
We took a brief look at #Filecoin's $FIL Address Data and Value Flow and here’s what we learned: (A thread)
1/ Total active addresses on the #Filecoin network reached 1.8M, with daily active addresses at 11.2K; and an average daily growth of 1.1K in recent weeks!
Our weekly @Filecoin Network Update: Growth all around! Daily Changes in Storage Capacity is at its highest this year, while ⬆️ in network activity brings Daily Active Deals to a new all-time high! 🚀🚀
1/ Daily Change in Storage Capacity on #Filecoin reached a yearly high of 126.58 PiB on 14 April 2022––its highest since June 2021! The network’s total storage has increased by 2.71% (0.43 EiB) since last month, bringing the total capacity to 16.27 EiB.
2/This growth can be attributed to the significant increase in the no. of active deals on the network, which has achieved an all-time high of 3mil deal counts! ~80% of these active deals belong to Filecoin Plus, which had an exponential increase in adoption since mid-Dec 2021.
$FIL, $STORJ, $SIA and $AR are all useful Web3 data storage solutions that provide forward-looking alternatives to current cloud providers. @Filecoin currently ranks first in terms of used storage and storage capacity:
1/ @Filecoin also has a vibrant ecosystem of over 330 projects, including NFTs and gaming. You can read more about this at messari.io/article/fileco….
2/ Another difference lies in data storage duration and scalability. @arweave is unique in its promise for perpetual storage but limited in scale while @Filecoin, @storj and @Sia__Foundation operate on a contract-based model––
So FAR BE IT FROM ME TO AVOID ADDING MY HOT TAKE but here is my hot take on the crypto takedown du jour 1/n
I hope regular readers are rn clutching their opera glasses, dying to know whether I agree with their predilections or have switched sides and turncoated with the devilish monsters of Web(2|3). Fools of such limited desires! I am more contrarian than you can possibly imagine!
First, I've been reading DSHR's blog for ages--unlike you oiks--so I know the better versions he's written for all of these arguments. I share his pain that it's his hasty talk to the AI folks at Stanford that got the hits, not his thoughtful ponderings over the last few years.
1/ 🌍 Our mission to decentralize the world’s storage via resilient, #P2P networks means the ENTIRE world. 🌍

1/ Web 3 storage: There are multiple options to store data in web3. Here's 4 reasons I am excited about Filecoin & IPFS....
2 / #1: With thousands of storage providers competing to store data, the prices on the filecoin network will always be hyper-competitive.
3 / Decentralized tech can only compete with centralized incumbents if it is competitive. Low cost is a key driver of competitiveness.

Functionland is a team of 10+ strong and growing. We are incorporated in Toronto, Canada🍁 Our leadership team is scattered across the globe. We have been fortunate to have the backing of the Outlier Ventures Family. @jamie247 anyone! ? A thread 👇🧵
We are establishing an Association in Switzerland with the help of a great Canadian-Swiss-UK legal team. This association and current structure lay the groundwork for a DAO. Yes, yes, but what is Functionland building, what's on the roadmap🗺?
Why should you be paying attention to Functionland? Our organization is built upon first principles. We asked - how can all citizens be participants in #Web3 . How can non-technical people jump on board and start using dApps? How do we truly decentralize the decentralized web🌎
1/ When I was young and first learning to code, I would marvel at stories of the open Internet and the creative freedoms it provided✌️.
I idolized the Builders who made it a reality and the #Cypherpunks who helped protect our online freedoms.

2/ Unfortunately, the “free” centralized platforms we’ve come to rely on are corrupted by the power and data they’ve accumulated.
They exploit us, subverting the very values that first helped them flourish. Our oasis is under threat.

Extending the functionality of @Filecoin within @Polkadot 💥

In the future, anyone building on @Polkadot with the need to reference @Filecoin data will use our bridge to verify in @substrate_io that the information from #Filecoin is true.
💡 This means that dApp developers will be able to build features into a @substrate_io chain that are dependent on @Filecoin state. Things like:
∙ Alternative storage and retrieval markets
∙ Wrapped $FIL implementations
