Here’s what’s happening in the InterPlanetary File System (opens new window) galaxy!

# A New Paradigm for Web Storage

IPFS and Filecoin are complementary systems, and the ecosystem has developed tools like Textile (opens new window) and Estuary (opens new window) to help them work together. With the increasing limitations for plugins, these tools are some of the best solutions for developing for web3 with current browsers. As time goes on and IPFS becomes more accessible, browsers will continue supporting native integration (see Opera (opens new window) and Brave (opens new window)). As these integrations continue, Textile and Estuary give a simple workaround for using the systems alongside one another. Check out the blog to learn more about using Filecoin with IPFS (opens new window).

# Brand new on IPFS

# Around the ecosystem 🌏

Believe it or not, it’s been a year since Filecoin mainnet launch, and there’s a lot planned to celebrate one year in orbit. Stay tuned for more details coming soon!
