Filecoin Solana Use Cases Deep Dive

Deadline: May 22nd 11:00pm IST

About the Bounty

Filecoin, the world’s largest decentralized storage network offers more than 16+ Exabytes of storage. It allows users to store, request, and transfer data via a verifiable marketplace. Filecoin is completely open-source, enabling people from all over the world to participate.

Filecoin is built on IPFS which is a peer-to-peer network and protocol designed to make the web faster, safer, and more open. IPFS upgrades the web to work peer to peer, addressing data by what it is instead of where it’s located on the network, or who is hosting it.

There are several projects supported by Protocol Labs which developers choose to integrate in the different projects they build.

Additionally, there are several tools that builders can use to build on top of Filecoin & IPFS or integrate them in their Dapps.

With this research, we are trying to understand:

  • Which projects from our stack could be the most useful for Solana builders?
  • Do they know about any of these projects?
    • If yes, which are these? What all do they know about them?
    • Are there any challenges in using them?
  • What are the best possible use-cases for Filecoin for Solana developers?
    • We have seen developers from different smart contract chains build applications across different spaces: Metaverse, DeFi, Gaming, etc. Winning projects from our hackathons here!

🎯
Your Mission: Generate creative ideas & challenges to integrate Filecoin in the Solana ecosystem and summarize your findings in a written document. Bonus points for also identifying Dev-tooling / RFP ideas! You're welcome to write this review individually or in teams of 2. Bounties will be split among team members.
