We thought 100 PiB was an aggressive goal for a 3 week incentivized testnet, but the
@Filecoin
community completely blew us away -- so much so that we had to add ANOTHER prize at 200 PiB! 🚀
For reference, storing 100 PiB of data would cost $2,364,600 *per month* on Amazon S3.🤯

Truly nuts that new foundational technology takes so long to translate. IPFS is 10 years old - we’re just getting started!🚀
Enjoyed this merge-party!
My take ➡️
@Filecoin
is actually the most valuable place for GPU miners to migrate to post merge!
With sealing-as-a-service, eth1 miners can now specialize just in GPU-heavy Filecoin proof generation, enabling storage providers to offload hardware reqs
It's the eve of the Merge, anon🍾

I am BEYOND excited for this new technology for FVM L2s on Filecoin!
FVM launched the open data economy, & now everyone is excited to build new networks to harness + scale verifiable storage applications:
⏭️CDN retrievals
🧮ML/Compute
💸Fast transfers
⛓️Indexing
Come try IPC!🚀
IPC allows end users and application developers to dynamically spawn hierarchical subnets that execute transactions in parallel, removing the excess load from the mainnet while also providing operating conditions better suited to the needs of applications. 🚀
Read on ...
Must-read for anyone looking to understand what Filecoin is, the upcoming improvements to get really excited about (retrieval markets, compute over data, and FVM L2s!), and how it uniquely unlocks "a fully decentralized web powered by open services"! 🚀
"Filecoin’s ambition is not just to be a storage network (as Tesla’s ambition was not to just ship the Roadster) — the goal is to facilitate a fully decentralized web powered by open services." -

Here is my conversation with

This was like drinking from a firehose with someone who has been there from the beginning and worked across ambitious technical projects like IPFS and Filecoin. We talk about IPC (a new framework for recursive L2s), incentive design,
