GBBC Virtual Members Forum with Filecoin Foundation
March 4, 2021 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm EST
The Filecoin Foundation is an independent organization dedicated to supporting Filecoin, an open source, decentralized peer-to-peer storage network with built-in economic incentives to ensure files are stored reliably over time. In contrast to more traditional centralized storage networks, which may be subject to large-scale outages, censorship, and don’t allow for the creation of an open market.
Join us on the GBBC Virtual Members Forum with Marta Belcher, Board Chair at the Filecoin Foundation, to learn more about Filecoin’s vision for a decentralized web and how the Filecoin Foundation supports the Filecoin ecosystem.
