Protocol Labs
Protocol Labs is an innovation network driving breakthroughs in computing to push humanity forward. The network is best known for developing the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) and Filecoin, both of which are central to the Web3 ecosystem. Beyond its core projects, Protocol Labs has cultivated a global innovation network comprising over 600 00 tech startups, funds, accelerators, foundations, open source projects, service providers, and other organizations. The network collaborates across various technological domains such as Web3, artificial intelligence, augmented and virtual reality, brain-computer interfaces, and hardware, among others.
ABOUT PROTOCOL LABS
Protocol Labs is a pioneering open-source research and development laboratory that builds protocols, tools, and services to radically improve the internet.
The network aims to make human existence orders of magnitude better through technology, through projects such as IPFS, Filecoin, libp2p, and many more.
The network is focused on providing a data-locality aware, secure network stack for distributed applications, and a model for ambient and network-efficient storage.
They connect more than 600 organizations, including startups, accelerators, foundations, and service providers.
