Building the data layer for AI
summary
A hands‑on stack shows a Next.js demo using Synapse SDK that executes a three‑step USDFC payment flow (approve → transfer → lock), uploads files to Filecoin, returns CIDs and lets the app retrieve bytes; an S3‑compatible Akave 0³ backend provides default versioning, client‑side encryption, Reed–Solomon erasure coding and claims ~80% cost savings; a Lighthouse flow encrypts/uploads with access conditions, issues API keys, and mints data coins (POP) after verifying proofs; hackathon prizes $1,250/$750/$500.
