builder.fi is a socialfi app where builders can capitalize on their reputation and earn crypto for answering questions. think of it as friend.tech for real builders.

builder.fi offers a unique opportunity for experienced builders to monetize their knowledge and reputation, while also supporting the next generation of builders.

for new builders and creators with limited connections, builder.fi can be a powerful networking tool to find and connect with high-value individuals, learn from them, and even potentially making a profit from those connections.

this journey with builder.fi began during ethereum singapore 2023, where the first prototype saw the light of day.

builder.fi was the most awarded project at the hackathon, winning 4 awards from airstack, polygon, mantle and taiko.

The Compute Over Data (COD) working group aims to enrich the Filecoin ecosystem by providing a compute over data framework that integrates seamlessly with core functionality and can be a platform for future developers in any ecosystem. It is made up of a large community of member projects who want to create a space to collaborate on decentralized Compute Over Data platforms.

drand is a randomness beacon that provides verifiable, unpredictable, and bias resistant random values as a service. The drand network is operated by the League of Entropy (LoE), a group of 14 independent member organizations that contribute to the production of randomness beacons.

Decentralized: drand is an open source software project ran by a diverse set of reputable organizations on the Internet wherein a threshold of them is needed to generate randomness, which ensure there is no central point of failure.
Publicly verifiable & unbiased: drand periodically delivers publicly verifiable and unbiased randomness. Any third party can fetch and verify the authenticity of the randomness and by that making sure it hasn't been tampered with.

Zama's fhEVM enables confidential smart contracts using fully homomorphic encryption (FHE). On-chain data is public by design, making it hard to build dapps that require confidentiality. Zama's fhEVM, the first private smart contract protocol using fully homomorphic encryption (FHE), enables transaction data and on-chain state to remain encrypted end-to-end, even during processing.

Filecoin is a peer-to-peer network that stores files, with built-in economic incentives and cryptography to ensure files are stored reliably over time. In Filecoin, users pay to store their files on storage providers. Storage providers are computers responsible for storing files and proving they have stored them correctly over time. Anyone who wants to store their files or get paid for storing other users’ files can join Filecoin. Available storage, and the price of that storage, are not controlled by any single company. Instead, Filecoin facilitates open markets for storing and retrieving files that anyone can participate in.

Filecoin is built on top of the same software powering IPFS protocol, which is a peer-to-peer distributed storage network that leverages content addressing to allow permanent references to the data, and avoids relying on specific devices or cloud servers for addressing the content. 

Filecoin

Fluence provides an open-source, permissionless, decentralized platform and a development toolkit for building, hosting, and running peer-to-peer applications and protocols. It is designed to be the open source, community-managed, and self-sustaining protocol. Fluence Labs sends regular updates about the project.

Forest is an implementation of Filecoin written in Rust. The implementation takes a modular approach to building a full Filecoin node in two parts — (i) building Filecoin’s security critical systems in Rust from the Filecoin Protocol Specification, specifically the virtual machine, blockchain, and node system, and (ii) integrating functional components for storage mining and storage & retrieval markets to compose a fully functional Filecoin node implementation.

We are individuals and organizations building new models of sustainable public goods funding and value alignment in open source networks. Our goal with Funding the Commons is to bridge the public goods community across Web2, Web3, research, philanthropy and industry. We do this by convening builders and practitioners, researchers and academics, and funders and philanthropists, catalyzing innovation in public goods. In the future, we seek to expand our impact by facilitating the creation of a public goods fund tied to impact evaluators, seeding projects that are conceived and incubated by the Funding the Commons community.

The goal of the FVM project is to add general programmability to the Filecoin blockchain. Doing so will give developers all kinds of creative options, including:
Orchestrating storage.
Creating L2 networks on top of the Filecoin blockchain.
Providing new incentive structures for providers and users.
Frequently verifying that providers are storing data correctly.
Automatically finding which storage providers are storing what data.
Many more data-based applications.

Filecoin was the first network deploying programmability, post-genesis, to ensure that layer 0 of the Filecoin blockchain was stable and fully functional. Due to the large amounts of capital already secured within the Filecoin network, the development of the FVM needs to be careful and gradual.


Homestar is the individual node that makes up the network (similar to how IPFS Kubo, Iroh, Nabu, or other implementation nodes make up the IPFS network). It's written in Rust, and is designed for performance and composability.

Interplanetary Consensus (IPC) is a framework that enables on-demand horizontal scalability of networks, by deploying ""subnets"" running different consensus algorithms depending on the application's requirements.  IPC is a scaling solution intentionally designed to achieve considerable performance, decentralization and security for dApps.
It achieves scaling through the permission-less spawning of new blockchain sub-systems, which are composed of ""subnets"". 

Subnets are organized in a hierarchy, with one parent subnet being able to spawn infinite child subnets. Within a hierarchical subsystem, subnets can seamlessly communicate with each other, reducing the need for cross-chain bridges.

Subnets also have their own specific consensus algorithms, whilst leveraging security features from parent subnets. This allows dApps to use subnets for hosting sets of applications or to shard a single application, according to its various cost or performance needs.    

IPC (InterPlanetary Consensus)

IPFS is a modular suite of protocols for organizing and transferring data, designed from the ground up with the principles of content addressing and peer-to-peer networking. Because IPFS is open-source, there are multiple implementations of IPFS. While IPFS has more than one use case, its main use case is for publishing data (files, directories, websites, etc.) in a decentralized fashion.

Iroh is a protocol for syncing bytes. It's open source, peer-2-peer, and works on your phone. Bytes of any size, across any number of devices. Use iroh to create apps that scale different.

libp2p, (short for “library peer-to-peer”) is a peer-to-peer (P2P) networking framework that enables the development of P2P applications. It consists of a collection of protocols, specifications, and libraries that facilitate P2P communication between network participants, known as “peers.”

ibp2p was initially developed as part of the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) project as its wire protocol but has since phased out into a networking stack that has been adopted by a wide range of other projects as a networking layer. It provides a set of specifications that can be adapted to support various protocols, allowing libp2p applications to operate in diverse runtimes and networking environments.
