Filecoin

An independent 10-week intensive Project-Based Learning accelerator and capstone hackathon onboarding 50-70 University of Lagos students into Web3 smart contract engineering and dApp development. Building upon curriculum frameworks successfully piloted in prior collaborations with Gimbalabs and Andamio PBL, this student-led initiative provides direct in-person mentorship, mobile data subsidies, and real-world deployment experience.

Open-source physical-to-digital art provenance protocol and marketplace engine. Pairs physical fine art pieces to tamper-evident NFC/QR security tags with on-chain NFT authenticity certificates, immutable provenance tracking, and automated secondary resale royalties for African and global artists.

Open-source programmatic video and investor acquisition engine for Base-native RWA tokenization protocols (like Tokeshare). Automatically transforms fractionalized asset drops (commercial franchises, real estate, income-generating local businesses) into deterministic 1080p motion explainers and real-time USDC dividend receipts in under 35 seconds.

Filecoin Data Portal is an open-source public data layer for the Filecoin ecosystem, providing reproducible datasets, metric definitions, dashboards, and agent-ready resources that serve as a shared source of truth for network and application KPIs. The project maintains reliable data pipelines and quality checks across core on-chain and ecosystem sources, reducing duplicated private analytics and vendor dependency while improving transparency and decision-making for governance, infrastructure,…

js-libp2p is the JavaScript/TypeScript implementation of libp2p, providing a modular peer-to-peer networking stack that underpins Helia and enables IPFS/Filecoin-connected applications across Node.js and browser environments. The project will strengthen core connectivity by assuming long-term maintenance of critical stream multiplexing and secure transport components and by delivering an updated WebRTC-Direct specification and implementation so browsers can reliably dial public libp2p nodes.…

Web2 Object Storage Pod is building a self-serve, S3-compatible onboarding “shim” that provides a unified entry point for Web2 developers to provision, upload, retrieve, and convert object storage usage into recurring paid, on-chain Filecoin deals via multiple ecosystem on-ramps. The project delivers an instrumented MVP and repeatable go-to-market playbook that reduces integration friction and drop-off while preserving on-ramp differentiation. By standardizing the path from familiar Web2…

Calibration Network Miner will deploy and operate a production-grade Filecoin Calibration Network (Calibnet) storage miner using the Curio stack, contributing 250 TB of Quality-Adjusted Power backed by real data and maintaining high-availability operations. By adding an independent, economically meaningful storage provider, the project improves operator diversity and the technical/economic realism of Calibnet testing, strengthening pre-mainnet validation of upgrades and reducing systemic risk…

Filecoin Foundation Infrastructure & Coordination Stewardship provides neutral, cross-organizational stewardship for the Foundation’s core coordination infrastructure—collaboration, identity and access management, documentation, monitoring, and public-facing channels—to ensure these systems remain secure, reliable, and auditable as teams and vendors evolve. By establishing clear ownership boundaries, least-privilege access governance, and durable runbooks with ongoing incident and request…

Lotus Miner & Boost Maintenance delivers ongoing security, bug-fix, and compatibility support for the Lotus Miner and Boost codebases, which underpin storage operations and deal-making workflows across the Filecoin ecosystem. The project ensures these critical components stay synchronized with protocol upgrades and remain stable during the network’s transition to newer implementations, reducing systemic risk of outages, data loss, and degraded onboarding capacity for Storage Providers and…

Forest is an efficient, lightweight Filecoin full node implemented in Rust that provides a production-ready alternative client for core network infrastructure roles such as bootstrap services, RPC, and snapshot generation. By prioritizing protocol correctness, timely support for mandatory network upgrades, and continuous performance optimization, it lowers hardware and operational costs while strengthening cross-client conformance and reducing client concentration risk. The project also…

drand is an open-source distributed randomness beacon that delivers free, publicly verifiable randomness as a core piece of Web3 infrastructure. It underpins the League of Entropy’s random beacon service and provides high-availability HTTP and gossipsub relay access used by Filecoin clients for leader election and timelock-related on-chain workflows. Funding supports ongoing protocol maintenance, resharing ceremonies, and reliable low-latency operations to preserve liveness and security across…

This project upgrades the Filfox Filecoin explorer to improve observability and verification of Filecoin Onchain Cloud activity, with first-class support for PDP and Filecoin Pay. It adds accurate FEVM subcall execution tracing, structured runtime and relationship views for datasets and payment flows, and a discoverable registry of core FOC service contracts, enabling developers, storage providers, exchanges, and integrators to more reliably interpret on-chain behavior and reduce integration…
