Filecoin has created incentives for users to store data and for IPFS (“InterPlanetary File System”).
The Protocol Labs-founded blockchain startup behind Filecoin is working on interoperability with IPFS and believes the two projects will develop in tandem. In January access to this protocol appeared in privacy-focused Brave browser.
Earlier in September, Joseph Lubin, head of Ethereum company ConsenSys, announced the creation of a new company to develop Web 3.0 and DeFi.
Earlier, in an exclusive ForkLog interview, co-founder and CEO of Blockstack Munib Ali expressed confidence that the future of Web 3.0 is inextricably linked with Bitcoin.
