S4E6 Filecoin & a DePIN Masterclass w. Porter Stowell
Manage episode 410894605 series 2930162
DePIN is a sector where Blockchain tech is having a major impact. We talk this, and Filecoin’s 6-year history with Porter Stowell.
Decentralised Physical Infrastructure Networks: In short, the democratisation of compute, storage, communication and more. Optimising existing industrial-grade infrastructure and also allowing individuals to participate in a P2P sharing economy. Sound interesting and disruptive? It is.
Amazon and Google aren’t exactly quaking in their boots, but they’re watching with interest, and have been making moves in Web3 to make sure their legacy businesses doesn’t get blindsided by Blockchain.
Filecoin has been leading the charge, particularly in storage, since 2017 and was one of the most love projects from Web3’s previous growth cycle. Porter gives us his take on the emergence of DePIN, what it REALLY takes to scale viable decentralised networks, as well as:
- A Filecoin 101 for those who are new here
- How to manage supply and demand in DePIN networks
- The art of the ‘deal’ for B2B, large-scale storage
- What more is needed for DePIN networks to become attractive to enterprises and a wider user base
