Filecoin, the world’s largest decentralized storage network, allows users to store, request, and transfer data via a verifiable marketplace. The winner was judged based on the best innovation used in these areas.

Here are some comments shared by mentors:

Fanstop enables users to upload encrypted files into a complex and user-unfriendly solution to get them onto IPFS. Could totally be upgraded from here though, solid base. -Ryan Baumann (Discordian), Developer Advocate, Protocol Labs

Storverse is an interesting concept with large potential impact. I like the idea of adding tags and other metadata to CIDs on IPFS/Filecoin. On the technology side, the design is nice, UI, golang, and SDK golang support. -Ricky Yuen, Blockchain Engineer, FilSwan

CooperDB used IPFS/Filecoin and Filswan MCS. They have a good idea to provide tools for Web2 developers to onboard. It could be great if the demo can be playable, and UI can be improved. -Jademont.eth, Co-Founder & Managing Partner, Waterdrip Capital

go-mcs-sdk is a good tool that helps go projects use FilSwan’s MultiChain.Storage products. -Gary Gao, Head of Filecoin Business, FBG Capital

IPFS Computing Router is a useful tool for computing data based on IPFS/Fileocin. The result upload on MultiChain.Storage is useful for payment for computing from different chains. Looking forward for more features. -Charley Chen, BD Director, FilSwan
