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

# Indexing and Interoperability on IPFS and Filecoin

‘Content routing’ is the set of rules and mechanisms that dictate how information and traffic flow between users and applications on a network. At Protocol Labs, the Data Systems team works on the data layer of the transfer protocols in the interplanetary stack that Protocol Labs helps maintain. At Filecoin Orbit, Will Scott from the Data Systems team walked through how content routing currently works in IPFS, and the improvements being made to ensure more efficient and complete data transfer. Catch up here (opens new window).

# Brand new on IPFS

# Around the ecosystem 🌏

In case you weren’t able to tune in for Filecoin Orbit 2021 — on Friday, Protocol Labs announced the Filecoin Virtual Machine (FMV)! The FVM is an EVM-compatible execution environment for the Filecoin network, bringing computation and data storage together in a way that will revolutionize the dapp ecosystem on top of Filecoin. Learn more about the FVM (opens new window).

While the first IPFS version of the Aave Protocol UI went live with the open sourcing, now http://app.aave.com (opens new window) will always point to a pinned version of the latest IPFS hash, to allow for a decentralized front end controlled by the community. Learn more (opens new window).

It has been just over one year since the Filecoin mainnet went live. The past year, the community of developers, builders, entrepreneurs, investors, storage providers, and clients have been growing at breakneck speeds. Check out the complete overview of what’s been happening on Filecoin for the past year — from research and engineering to use cases, collaborations, and more. Dive in (opens new window).

The first Techstars Filecoin Accelerator starts in 2022 — and applications are open now! Tonight, Protocol Labs CEO Juan Benet and Techstars Filecoin Managing Director Isaac Kato sit down for a Fireside Chat and AMA about the upcoming accelerator. Join the conversation at 8:00pm ET tonight — register here (opens new window).

Tomorrow! Join the Chainlink Fall 2021 Hackathon (opens new window) for an “Introduction to IPFS and Filecoin” session starting October 27th at 11:00am ET. Join the livestream here (opens new window).
