IPFS & Filecoin 101
summary
Workshop explains how IPFS uses content-addressing and a P2P swarm to serve files (CIDs instead of locations), and how Filecoin pays storage providers — roughly 3,600+ providers, hundreds of millions pledged, and network growth from ~1.6 to ~17 EiB quality-adjusted capacity. Demos of developer tooling include nft.storage, web3.storage, Fleek and Estuary for pinning and automated deals, and the Filecoin Virtual Machine (FVM) with tens of thousands of wallets and EVM-compatible smart contracts. Retrieval/CDN and decentralized compute projects (Saturn, Titan, etc.) are in active development.
