Head of Global Technology Community, SINSO, Franklin

SINSO is a two-layer network built on Filecoin. As the infrastructure of the Web3.0 ecosystem, SINSO is committed to expanding the middle layer of Web3.0 and promoting the transformation of various DApps from Web2.0 to Web3.0.

Topic and main points：

Vivian: How do you view the distributed storage industry from different perspectives?

Jenks：

Filecoin and Protocol Labs believe that the Internet is the most important technology for human development. The main function of network evolution from web1.0 is to read, and to web2.0 to read and write. The future trend of web3.0 is to read, write, and own. By establishing distributed DApps, the Dao community has some resources on the Internet. No matter how the network evolves, data storage is the most basic infrastructure of the network. For example, if you enter Google.com into your browser, the browser will find the address of the server. This is a search system for addresses. Web2.0 uses this technology to find the content on these networks. This has led to the rise of many powerful platforms, and also caused many centralization problems. This data does not belong to the user and cannot be verified, and it is easy to be tampered with. These are some centralized problem of transformation. Then the IPFS technology initiated by the Filecoin project provides verifiable content through the feature of content search CID, which means that this kind of content cannot be tampered with. If it is tampered with, the URL will also change. smaller.

Also in terms of permanent storage. We are now on the Web2.0 network. Some people have calculated that the average age of web pages is about 2.5 years. Many web pages will be lost. One of the goals of Filecoin and many blockchain storage markets is to make the content of the network more long-term storage.

The interstellar file system IPFS was proposed by Juan in 2014 and published a white paper. In 2017, the main network of Filecoin began to be constructed, in order to solve these problems of the Internet and promote a faster process from web2.0 to web3.0 .

Then the purpose of Protocol Labs is to build a better next-generation network, store the most valuable data of all mankind through a distributed network, and the longer the better.

So this is the biggest contribution I think the distributed storage industry and our Filecoin have brought.

Charles:

I think that distributed storage or decentralized storage has several main features: the first one is that the data will have a better degree of remote disaster recovery, for example, because of some special accidents In some cases, or when there is a problem with the company or some entities, the data will always have a safe backup. The second is data uniqueness, which has a particularly great advantage with a feature of IPFS itself. Some calculations show that using the IPLD format of IPFS to store data will save 30-50% of the space compared with the common zip compression method. Because it has a very strong type of Merkle tree, it will cancel some duplicate content of the data, so from an economic point of view, using the IPLD file format will bring some economic benefits. The third point is about the incentive model of Filecoin, which can greatly reduce the cost, which will be an actual advantage for enterprises.

Of course, like the uniqueness of file CID, it can help users to determine the uniqueness of content better and faster in the future, which will be greatly improved in all aspects. In my opinion, this is a very large industry, and it has many places worth exploring. At present, many Web2 companies have not realized the advantages brought by these features. With the development of this time, we will have more and more Focus on these advantages, and at the same time empower the persistence and validity of their data.

Franklin：

For the Filecoin project, I think it is a very unique project in the blockchain world, because it solves the problems that have not been solved in the storage part since the birth of Ethereum. It proposes a very complete solution, and has A good incentive model for the storage trading market.

I think whether it is proof of replication or proof of space-time, it provides a paradigm that includes storage transactions like zero-knowledge proof. Although it is not so mature now, or it has reached a certain low cost, it actually provides a future. It is possible that its storage cost will be lower than the current centralized storage of web2. That is to say, the current user's storage may meet the needs of both web2 and web3. Filecoin uses this kind of purely market-oriented storage to match transactions, allowing everyone to use idle resources or globally. Integrate the most advantageous resources and configure them.

Then Filecoin should be said to have surpassed Amazon and solved the problem of crossing web2 to web3.

on a specific application level. As early as March 2018, we used IPFS to store a large amount of human genetic data. At that time, we stored about 90 TB of data.

So what is the significance of storing this data? I also interviewed some people in charge of the user gene big data company. I said that what you value most is the cost of storage, or is this storage architecture able to confirm the rights of the user's data? The user told me that he said the most What matters is right.

Then, under such a technology combination of Filecoin's CID combined with FVM, I think it is possible to generate a trading market for genetic big data of medical data, which allows users to master their own health data, and can pass this kind of data. A frictionless decentralized transaction that can generate greater value, I think this is what Filecoin attracts me the most.

Well, we are now very much looking forward to Filecoin having such a good infrastructure, combined with the programmability of FVM, I think it has brought us a huge room for imagination. It mainly brings us more possibilities at the application level of web3. For example, in combination with FVM, users can also customize the purchase of storage space built with low-carbon energy and green energy. It quantifies many things through this market method, and can minimize this transaction cost.

Vivian: Next, I would like to ask Jenks, the data side is most concerned about security, cost, efficiency and convenience. Compared with centralized storage, what are the advantages of Filecoin in these aspects?

Jenks：

In terms of security, in the entire mechanism of Filecoin, there are many data providers, and you can store your data in many places, not just a few centralized data centers, so this aspect can provide a variety of The replicability of the region ensures that your content can be preserved.

Filecoin uses space-time proof and replication proof to ensure the authenticity of data and the nature of long-term storage of multiple backups. Charles mentioned uniqueness, which is actually very important. This also mentioned another kind of security, that is, information security. There are a lot of fake news now. When you upload a news picture, you don’t know if it has been tampered with. Use CID to store this kind of news picture. If someone tampers, then there must be a new CID, which will reach them. Uniqueness of content.

Now we also have a lot of very popular and high-value NFTs in the NFT market. Although the transaction volume is small, the value is very high. It is too expensive to deposit Ethereum, and it costs tens of thousands of dollars for a few MB. Then if the CID of IPFS is written into their metadata, a unique address is provided, and then the owner of the NFT can own it for a long time, so it is not easy to tamper with. Here are a few points about security:

From the perspective of cost: The price fluctuates relatively large, and the price fluctuations in the encryption market are relatively large. Storage can be divided into cold storage and hot storage.

From the perspective of cold storage, according to previous calculations, the price of Filecoin is 0.38% of AWS S3. It is very competitive in price, but in terms of usability, such as the ease of use of some developer tools, it is indeed a bit lacking compared to web2. So we have many partners in the ecological chain to help us make application layer tools for developers to use. But in order to encourage uploading more high-value data that is useful to humans, many tools are now free. For example, if data is transmitted through NFT.storage, it is directly uploaded to the Filecoin network. Currently, this is a permanent free project.

Filecoin plus is also a very interesting project. It also provides permanent preservation of the public electronic data of the New York Library, which is very meaningful to all mankind. We also have a complete notary system to manage Filecoin certifier information to ensure the value and quality of information. Like FilSwan is also one of them.

In the long run, the Filecoin system is market-priced and can be economically regulated. What we can do is we try to keep web2.0 cheap forever, which can facilitate the transfer of data from web2.0 to web3.0.

From the perspective of efficiency and convenience, it depends on the needs of developers. I just said that storage has hot storage and cold storage, IPFS is hot storage, you can post it immediately, and you don’t need money, but it’s not permanent. Filecoin is cold storage, and it is not something that needs to be retrieved immediately after storage, so there will be various development tools corresponding to this. I think the overall effect is still not as perfect as web2, and we are still exploring. We are still under construction, and the entire web3.0 is not completely perfect, so we have grants, bounty, and hackathons for hardworking and intelligent developers to help Let's solve these problems.

So this is what I want to say about safety, cost, efficiency and convenience.

Vivian: There are many distributed storage projects, such as Arweave, Sia, FilSwan and SINSO. Why did they choose Filecoin as the data storage layer? What are the main considerations?

Charles:

I can start by talking about the reasons for my choice. First of all, the first and most important point is that the current computing power storage scale of Filecoin has exceeded 18EB. If I remember correctly, this is an insurmountable peak for all storage projects.

Because many projects have no way to prove that they can complete the storage on a small scale. When it becomes a large scale, it can still achieve a coordination of all aspects of performance.

For example, like Arweave, its problem is that it saves small files now, ok no problem, hundreds of terabytes can barely be synchronized, who can guarantee that it can still be synchronized at the PB level? Who can guarantee that its Eb level can still be synchronized. But Filecoin is different. Filecoin has reached the Eb level of hundreds of PB as early as the space race. So for us, if you make a real enterprise-level application, there are relatively few scenarios where an enterprise data is stored on EB for a single enterprise. That is to say, you almost no longer need to prove whether it can reach the level. The answer is yes, it can.

The second point is that Filecoin, as the leader of the entire storage track, is second to none in terms of technical scale, number of ecological personnel involved, and global influence. For example, we know that Filesoin's Protocol labs team has a large number of top researchers from Stanford, Harvard, and MIT to continuously improve this model.

For example, many of us know that in the early days, Filecoin had a very serious message congestion phenomenon. Later, they developed a z cup upgrade method within a few months, which reduced the number of messages by 60%. The above has caused the gas fee to drop rapidly that year. This is not something that ordinary teams can operate on the scale of the public chain.

Well, if anyone has participated in the space race, then you should still have memories. Before the mainnet goes live, the team has repeatedly drilled and solved it. For example, how to deal with a series of processing operations such as disconnection of the network, failure of block consensus, etc.? We have seen that some public chains, such as Solana and Polygon, often have problems such as broken chains and messages that cannot be produced during the operation of the main network. So this also makes us feel that as a commercially available blockchain, Filecoin has already solved many of these catastrophic problems early on.

Then the third is its advantage in community support. Filecoin is very friendly to developers, and there are various such developer assistance projects. If developers want to test the order, as long as you have a github account, you can get a 32GB real data storage for your early testing. If your development project is really helpful to the Filecoin ecology, you can also get a Microgrant of about $5,000, allowing you to quickly start your project.

Then, as the ambassador of Filecoin, I and some other ambassadors will help these developers and those interested in the ecology to enter the ecology in the community.

Well, FilSwan, as an enterprise-level application ambassador, has also established many tools, such as our multi-chain storage, which is convenient for you to use Metamask to store your small files for a fee. For example, we provide some FS3 to help you transfer data from AWS or Alibaba Cloud migrated to the Filecoin network, and these ecological projects are tirelessly empowering these enterprises and start-up projects of web2 and web3. Then Filecoin still has many hackathons, and we also participated in some hackathons in the early days Song, and then we also participated as sponsors, such as some donation projects like Dorahacks. We ourselves developed as a funded team in the Filecoin ecosystem, and now we have changed from a funded team to a team that sponsors other teams, so I think the Filecoin ecosystem is good for both developers and applicators. Well, the enterprise is also very friendly, which is why we think that Filecoin, as the leader of the storage track, has its own uniqueness, and we also highly recommend it when considering storage, whether it is a web2 or web3 enterprise , personally consider using Filecoin as one of its main alternatives.

Franklin:

What Charles said before is relatively perfect. I mentioned a point here. I think Filecoin has a relatively good ecological dividend at the current stage. You don’t need to worry about the high storage cost in the early stage, because there are already many Some very cheap storage facilities are available for free, including FilSwan, and many tools including NFT.Storage and web3.storage. In fact, our focus is on how to make a good connection with Web3 applications.

We think of Filecoin as a data processing plant. It is a good data base and the world's largest zero-knowledge proof network. What we value is that Filecoin is actually mainly positioned for this kind of enterprise-level storage. It has high flexibility in the enterprise storage market. Arwave I think it is mainly biased towards NFT.

In the area of ​​enterprise-level storage, we pay more attention to the efficiency level, which is to improve efficiency and its effective data collection in terms of compliance. For example, there are many concepts of edge storage now. We need to combine with edge computing, and many people need to build a private storage node nearby to interact with its applications. We want to upgrade the edge storage and make it a distributed secondary cache network, and then let it go to Filecoin The data is cached inside, and developers can identify this concept of hierarchical storage according to their own needs. For example, I store important recent data in the Filecoin space, for example, it can be made into Filecoin's DataCap as the concept of 10 times the computing power of this effective data.

Then for less important information, we store it in our SINSO Getway as a layered storage, and what we need to consider is how to motivate the data ecology to use the storage. I think there are still some details, such as data processing There is a factory, but the standardized highway leading to the data processing factory and its logistics system, as well as some rules for data delivery, we need to make some detailed definitions at the front end, which is what SINSO needs to do .

To put it simply, we need to build a second-level cache network to allow developers to define more hierarchical storage, and to do pre-processing and pre-processing classification on their behavior of uploading data. And there are corresponding incentives.

Then in the process of incentives, we need to consider how to separate the role of incentives between the resource provider and the actual user, and if the c-end user follows such a storage paradigm of web3, then it needs There is a combination of distributed did and CID, how can we have a general data browser to access his own real data, instead of saying that after I use Filecoin now, I have all the data of the c-end users in one brain Pack it together, save it and it's over. For C-end users, their data is still controlled by the relatively centralized B-end, which is not of much value. So we are now doing some real integration with applications to solve detailed problems in the early stage. infrastructure tools.

SINSO has already made some small cases and is making perfect actions.

I think Filecoin already has a good foundation, which is to use imagination to guide the project implementation and build the infrastructure structure backwards and forwards. This kind of thinking is completely ok, and it is positioned for enterprise-level applications.

Jenks：

I can confirm that our current network storage capacity is indeed 18EB, which is about 1% of the total capacity of cloud computing. Then the data I just got is that we have a meeting every week to observe the growth of storage capacity, and it is very enjoyable to see this number. There is also a latest data that is 3% of the hard disks produced in the world. Now they are all used to provide storage computing power for our Filecoin, so I am very grateful to our storage provider for buying these hard disks so happily, and then quickly install them on the machine Provide computing power on the Internet, so thank you very much.

Franklin mentioned the web3.storage tool, which is now free for developers under 1 TB, and free for developers over 1 TB. Of course, there may be a fee in the future.

Let me talk about other storage projects from this project side. The main purpose of Arweave is permanent storage, and price is not their primary purpose. Filecoin is not, Filecoin is a deal making, and the storage trading market must be our characteristic, because only by applying the two adjustment methods of the trading market and the token economy can you ensure that your price will always be low.

Vivian: I think there is another point. In addition to providing storage, Filecoin's ecological expansion will be much higher than other bottom layers. Especially after the launch of FVM, there may be some special tools for some vertical fields in data storage and data retrieval, which can help users to help enterprises better manage some of their data and ensure data security. Develop many new applications. I think it is something that other storage items may not have. During this period of time, I have been paying attention to some progress of Filecoin, and the storage capacity of data is also growing very fast. Although the overall volume is not very large now, there may be more and more new deployments in the future Going to the Internet is very worth looking forward to.

Then I would also like to ask everyone, what processes are required to store real data on Filecoin, and what preparations are needed for different types of data providers? Today, the three guests belong to different roles of data storage, and they can talk about this issue from their own perspectives.

Charles:

Because we are also the very early notaries of Filecoin, and we are actually the first batch of people who have used real data, including ordinary data. Filecoin has two kinds of storage, one is data storage and the other is real data storage.

Now everyone talks a lot about real data storage, but in fact Filecoin has an order called regular deal. Common data storage can be traced back to before the space race. In fact, at that time, when the official gave data to the contestants, there was a standard called data storage and retrieval success rate, which would directly affect the competition rewards. At that time, because many teams were not yet mature in technology, many teams actually wanted to Do everything possible to enable everyone to save and succeed.

Then right after this game comes a second game called Space Race 2. The main goal of Space Race 2 is data storage. We have participated in the 1.0 space race from the forest post of data storage to the latest 2.8, with a total of 10 rounds of competition. When storing, there are several steps to be done, so for ordinary orders, you need to have a client yourself, like FilSwan provides some billing tools, you can also use some tools to make bills to communicate with the official lotus market interface for docking. You prepare the data, and then convert it into a CAR file, the file will be converted into a Piece id, the piece id will be sent out through the order, and the storage order taker will take your order and download your data , and store it on the node, this is the process from a technical point of view.

Because it has 10 times the computing power, many people are very interested in the storage of real data. So if you want to do real data, real data has an extra notary step on the basis of ordinary billing. If your data wants to be considered real data, first you need to find a notary. There are currently 5 regions in the world, and the last round of selection has just ended, so now there are 50 notaries.

You have two ways to obtain storage orders, one is to find a local notary, such as China, Asia, and North America. Depending on your region, you can find a local notary on the Fil plus website to approve your application for you. If you have applied, they will give you an address and allocate a certain data quota. Any order sent from this data quota address will be considered as valid data. After you get this valid data quota, use this address to issue an order with the previous ordering software, and set one of the fields of the ordering software to "whether it is a real data order", set it to yes, and the sent out is real data . The third step is to find someone who is willing to save for you. For example, FilSwan provides many tools. You can go to FilSwan’s official website FilSwan.com to see which storage miners in the world are willing to accept orders, and you can also use FilSwan directly The automatic matching tool, we have an O to B self-matching tool, which will help you find customers who meet your pricing and capacity on a global scale to receive orders.

We have released nearly a PB of real data storage around the world since we went online, so now many relatively small nodes and new in-depth nodes newly join the ecological nodes, they will register their storage nodes with our FilSwan, and then they will A certain amount of storage can be received every day. There are various sources of storage. There are other customers who get the data and don’t know where to find the order to send it automatically. There is also our FilSwan ecological software. For example, we have engaged in multi-chain storage a while ago, and many NFT projects have been packaged Will send it up. So relatively speaking, data storage is still a relatively complicated function. It is best to find some professional teams to introduce your experience to you, which can save you a lot of detours and speed up your improvement.

Then FilSwan is an enterprise-level ecological application medium. If you need some tools, you can join our FilSwan developer group. We have Chinese and English technical support and can help you quickly log in to the Filecoin network.

Franklin:

The entire process of SINSO has been completed according to what Charles said earlier. Let me add that, in fact, SINSO is most concerned about how to collect the most valuable data and organize it in an orderly manner so that the real The data and billing process adopts an automated process opening mode. Now it has entered a state of joint debugging and testing, that is to say, in the current billing process, the problem is that it may still not form a coherent, real and effective data, and adopt an automated billing process , can store valid data in one go, so it is not a particularly intelligent and automated process in the middle, and now SINSO is moving in the direction of automation.

For the effective data collection level of data, SINSO handles it in this way. For example, we made a demo called "Dicom Network" in September last year. We think that at least a considerable part of the data in the world is in accordance with the standard. A data generated by a communication protocol and a communication format, such as a DICOM file, such as a medical DICOM file, which itself is constructed by the DICOM communication protocol standard of the American College of Radiology, then we have a good understanding of the data format of the communication protocol and its For data display and transmission, we have a communication protocol stack for parsing and formatting. Then we take it as a preprocessing mechanism of the pre-data processing protocol stack. That is to say, through our automated processing, it can be guaranteed that the incoming data are all medical data in accordance with the standard communication protocol format, so the medical data can also be opened by the internationally accepted medical imaging browser. In this way, a large amount of invalid data can be filtered. Next, after entering the SINSO Getway, the development of the front-end DApp can cooperate with the notary to issue bills with the data specified by it. We hope to automate the process and are doing such a thing.

But the biggest problem now is that after the data is packaged into the CAR file, the data must be taken out from Filecoin and retrieved. At present, it may not be very friendly to the front end of DApp, so we also look forward to the completion of the Filecoin retrieval market in the next step, so that the file retrieval and storage process can fully achieve a closed-loop effect. So now Filecoin’s system of uploading valid data and issuing notaries is actually smooth. Basically, there are no major problems. How to make it more automated, intelligent and consistent, this part still needs to be solved. Do a lot of work.

Vivian: I would like to ask whether the reward approval for effective storage is currently suspended? When is it possible to recover?

Charles:

I can say this, it is not a suspension. That's right, Filecoin conducted a new round of notary applications in March and April. The newly appointed notaries have not yet completed their registration work and training.

These notaries are being trained now, and the equipment of the notaries has not yet arrived, so the issuance of the quotas that have been applied for before is still going on. I am one of the notaries who approved these DataCaps, so for some new applications In the case of the case, it is true that there has not been a lot of progress recently, because they need Gallen to generate a thing called LUKS key holder and send it to each notary, so the speed of this is slowed down.

For existing DataCap applications, especially big data-level applications, in fact, I will basically approve the ones that are suitable.

Vivian: At present, the demand for the data side of distributed storage has not been opened. What do you think is the reason? How to improve this situation, any good suggestions?

Jenks:

There is indeed excess storage capacity now. This is a chicken-and-egg problem. If you don’t have space, how do you store it? Then when you have space, you don’t have enough storage capacity, and others think that your utilization rate is not high. So I think the Filecoin project is still being perfected, and many things are still under planning. I am a technician, so from a developer's point of view, I think some developers' tools are not very perfect, and it is not very easy To integrate with the existing web2.0 developer tools.

For example, if I want to migrate all my data from AWS, there is no good migration tool to do it, and there are relatively few enterprise-level tools. In addition, the search market is not perfect, and we are still working hard. Also, we hope that both SINSO and FilSwan mentioned that this can help us solve some problems. For example, the deal making is actually still very menu. Now we have to make a new deal within 6~18 months, and FilSwan’s outfit is also the same. Can help these, really you said that you want to automatically renew, we hope to open it from the FVM level, give developers more innovations, and then make the developer experience better, through this to open data requirements.

Charles:

First of all, we have to pay attention to the fact that it has only been a short one and a half years since the Filecoin network was actually launched. If you look at the early one and a half years of Ethereum, there was actually nothing. From its appearance to its current use, it is a process of market acceptance, which takes time. This is the first point.

The second point is that Filecoin now has a lot of data on the network, and there are already hundreds of PB of data on it, so the demand side is actually divided into two types of needs, one is the customer's demand on Filecoin, and the other is how the customer There are two directions for using Filecoin to store good data. So at present, moving data to Filecoin is actually relatively good. If you compare Arweave with only a few hundred terabytes of data, Filecoin already has hundreds of petabytes of data, which is quite successful.

So more questions are actually about how we treat and use these data, and how to make these data meet customer needs. So on this point, I think we still have a lot of room for improvement. As mentioned earlier, our data is now in a 540-day cycle. How to meet customer needs in a longer period of time? For the storage of cold data, how to do better in all aspects of renewal, then FVM provides a feasible channel, because you can use smart contracts to solve this problem.

As the early builder team of FVM, we are now also participating in the design of this aspect. When the Filecoin smart contract rises in August and September, we may provide a very friendly solution to intervene, which will further open up web2 users. Using pathways makes sense for web3.

In this way, Filecoin can justifiably say that we can actually pay once and use it forever. This will be a very big turning point. Development tools are also a problem in all aspects, because from the storage to the line, each team is also working hard to write their own documents. For example, we have spent a lot of energy and are now writing developers to give developers a better user experience. Then I also A lot of tools have been made, mainly to make developers more comfortable in two points, or to use data more comfortably.

The first one is that the issuance of small files does not require such complicated steps. We provide a multi-chain storage tool, and you only need to click the mouse to go up. This will be a very friendly tool. If you want to save hundreds of files, we also provide a development SDK, you just need to put the files in a folder, and we will send all your edits. Another thing is our cutting of large files. For example, if you exceed the range of 32GB in a sector, I will cut it for you, just like you go to the supermarket to buy vegetables. You don’t need to use a knife to chop ribs Yes, we'll help you chop them all up, divide them into small bags, and pack them for you to send to others. Then these tools have a process of perfect packaging and marketing. It takes a little time to develop. We estimate that in 3 to 6 months, each team will do a good job in these tools.

In terms of data needs, we are currently working with McGill University to sort out the data of some medical centers. It is a joint project between the Ministry of Science and Technology of China and the governments of Quebec. Government companies like McGill University and Stanford University in the United States A world-renowned university, their joining will have a very obvious brand effect and leadership effect.

Well, in these cases, they are continuing to act as a leader. Like in Europe and the United States, I also know that there are many data storage providers, and they are also acting as data storage intermediaries, bringing users traffic to the Filecoin network. So Filecoin also set up a dedicated marketing team and technical support team this year to do this.

Then Stephen, as the general manager of the ecology, is encouraging various projects. For example, I know a project called the gravity project, called Gravity Ideal. This project will allow you to have real data storage needs. You can store encrypted data. Although it cannot be certified as real data, the official will give you a part of the reward. match. Then friends who are interested in the gravity project can also contact me.

If your project is particularly close to the market demand, I can recommend you to the Filecoin Foundation. They have some incentives to do these on boarding work. These actions will greatly increase the influence of our entire Filecoin network in the market, and transfer more corporate data and user data to the network.

And the official team is also doing a lot of these interactions with our various ecological teams, such as the Global Application Conference, the Blockchain Week in Paris, and some NFT.storage demonstrations at the Toronto Film Festival and the upcoming June , there will also be a grand event on coindesk submit, and everyone who is interested can register. It takes a period of time for the market to go from input to production, and it is now in progress.

Franklin:

Now I feel that some work has been done in terms of the application of Filecoin, the introduction of the project party, and the effective data upload, but at present I think there may be some difficulties. The needs of many projects are not only web3 business, but web2 business must also be stored in Filecoin. But in this process, most of the projects still emphasize efficiency. That is to say, we believe that web3.0 is a paradigm of the future economic sharing economy, or a basis for the future blockchain and human production relations. But if we want to build this foundation, we must make Filecoin compatible with web2.0 data at the level of efficiency. It cannot develop by leaps and bounds. It is often because the data of web2 must be efficiently stored in Filecoin, and then combined with FVM or some other new gameplay later, it will generate new production relationships or business model innovations in web3. It may not be a low-cost storage to replace AWS, definitely not such a concept.

Therefore, during this period of time, SINSO may focus on the improvement of storage efficiency the most. We have also recently made an API called SINSO Getway. This API can effectively and quickly cache data in the Getway network first, and then store the most valuable data in the DataCap with effective computing power defined by the R&D personnel. , this process has completely gone through.

Yesterday, I connected with a medical and health project called AdvaitaHealth. It is essentially a sports and health wearable sensor data, which is uploaded to Filecoin through SINSO Getway. In the future, we will do in-depth data analysis in the direction of artificial intelligence. So before doing artificial intelligence, it actually has a very obvious action of data rights confirmation and an action of subsequent data governance. In other words, FVM will bring us more possibilities in the future, that is, Filecoin can not only provide storage, but also open up a computing market.

That is to say, with FVM, our demand for data storage can make the types of data transactions more diverse, and this technology itself is completed by the community, not only by the official team of Filecoin, but also by The community defines a variety of new ways of playing at the level of web3 in the future, and uses this method to attract more ecology to expand.

In fact, I think that many industries have reached the ceiling. That is to say, this industry has reached a point where everyone works hard, but they can't make money. They also want to make a breakthrough in the business model. The premise of the business model breakthrough is that the data must first be moved to Filecoin, and then the web3 gameplay will be generated.

This piece is not done by a team. SINSO has only done some insignificant explorations, but we are starting to do it. We are now uniting our communities in more than 10 countries in Europe, and we are also recruiting ambassadors recently, interacting with Filecoin’s ambassador program, and we are also doing this Demo and publicity, anyway, make some contributions to the Filecoin ecology as much as possible.

To sum up, it is necessary to move the current web2 data to Filecoin by all means, and then further transform it. I think this kind of ecology can be accelerated.

Vivian: Thanks to the three guests for their time and your careful preparations, this is the end of our topic. The distributed storage track is a direction that Cabin VC will pay more attention to next. We will continue to organize some corresponding topics, and hope to have more interactions with you in the following exchanges.
