Best project built on Filecoin storage services (e.g. lighthouse or web3.storage) or using FVM (Filecoin Solidity Library) directly to make data management flow smoothly.

Qualification Requirements

Examples: industry specific storage apps xxx.storage, perpetual storage, data aggregators, data caching nodes, truestless notaries & retrieval oracles.

It is powerful to combine verifiable & decentralized storage primitives with AI. We encourage hackers to come up with use cases in the life cycle in training, developing, and using that makes use of the core competence of Filecoin Network.

Qualification Requirements

Ideas such as a transparent training process, AI dataset marketplace, decentralized storage and retrieval of AI models, federated learning, etc. are welcomed.

🕵️ Privacy Tools$3,000
Data privacy and access control are hard topics for any decentralized storage system. We want to award hackers that use zero-knowledge proofs and/or decentralized identity or other means for access control on Filecoin Network.

Qualification Requirements

Keep processing of data trusted and data content private while keeping the verification information public.
