Round 2 / ETHGlobal

ETHGlobal contributes directly to the education of the FVM & Filecoin ecosystem via developer engagement at conferences and in-person and online hackathons we organize. Our events are the principal forum for developer education, tinkering, and direct DevEx feedback for the FIL/FVM teams.

Between April and September 2024 we ran HackFS, the largest hackathon with Filecoin, IPFS, and other key Protocol Labs technology at its core. This year's HackFS saw 460 hackers leveraging the Filecoin Virtual Machine (FVM) and in the end, 157 projects were submitted!

The event was an opportunity for PLN teams including Filecoin, Galadriel, Lit Protocol, Fluence, Mona, Huddle01, Powerloom, Lilypad, Zondax, WeatherXM, CoopHive, Fleek, Chainsafe to learn about developer pain points, iterate documentation and tooling, and of course receive tons of projects building on their technology.

Additionally, the event generated over 22 hours of educational content which is hosted both on Youtube and IPFS via our website.
