This page is starting point for learning the key concepts behind Filecoin, IPFS, IPC & other Protocol Labs Technologies, and how to get started building with them.
<aside> ℹ️ IPFS is a peer-to-peer network and protocol designed to make the web faster, safer, and more open. IPFS upgrades the web to work peer-to-peer, addressing data by what it is instead of where it is located on the network, or who is hosting it.

<aside> 💡 Filecoin, the world’s largest decentralized network, offers more than 16+ Exbibytes of storage. It allows users to store, request, and transfer data via a verifiable marketplace. Filecoin is completely open-source, enabling people from all over the world to participate.

<aside> đź’ˇ **FVM**Â unlocks boundless possibilities, ranging from dataDAOs, to perpetual storage, to financial services for miners (e.g., collateral lending, liquid staking, insurance protocols), to decentralized compute and Layer 2 networks (such as reputation systems and incentive-aligned content delivery networks, and more).
</aside>
<aside> đź’ˇ **IPC** (InterPlanetary Consensus) is a breakthrough scalability framework that enables on-demand horizontal and vertical scalability of Filecoin by deploying subnets (self-governing chains) that spawn their own state, validate messages in parallel, and seamlessly interact with any network in the hierarchy, as well as with the Filecoin root network.
