The DIVI Crypto Podcast

On this episode of the DIVI Crypto Podcast our host Steve McGarry is joined by Jonathan Victor, the Ecosystem Lead for NFT’s and Gaming at Protocol Labs. Steve and our guest start the show by talking about Jonathan’s introduction into crypto and the Web3 space, and where he saw an opportunity to make an impact. They dive into the infrastructure that a lot of projects are using like AWS, and they unpack the potentials and importance of decentralized storage. Jonathan shares what Protocol Labs is focused on, and how they essentially want to change the way that the internet moves data around in order for a better experience for users. Steve asks about the current disadvantages of decentralized storage and what they are doing to combat those at Protocol Labs. Jonathan also talks about how he is excited to see new trends of computing influence the design of new systems being created, and how these new applications could help with mainstream adoption. Filecoin is a peer-to-peer network that stores files, with built-in economic incentives to ensure files are stored reliably over time. In Filecoin, users pay to store their files on storage providers, Filecoin facilitates open markets for storing and retrieving files that anyone can participate in. Protocol Labs is an open-source research, development, and deployment laboratory. Their projects include IPFS, Filecoin, libp2p, and many more. - Website - https://filecoin.io/ - Website - https://protocol.ai/ - Twitter @Jnthnvctr - https://twitter.com/Jnthnvctr – DIVI is creating the world's first closed-loop, vertically-integrated cryptocurrency ecosystem.
