IPFS distributed storage is the underlying guarantee of the metaverse
Over the decades, we've been working on metaversics, accumulating little by little, improving games and experiences.
Now through the advent of 3D environments, games and open worlds, it is constantly maturing. Coupled with the native applications of blockchain and Web 3.0, we have also introduced them into the metaverse. The world we are in now is exciting, and there are many large-scale enterprises in the metacosm, and they have also begun to make a lot of in-depth investment in the metacosm, including Facebook, Tencent, Ali and other Internet giants.
A lot of big businesses want to get a very relevant version of the metaverse, and that's very important.
Facebook company name will be renamed "Meta"
Facebook co-founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg officially announced at the Facebook Connect developer conference on October 27 that the company name will be renamed "Meta" and the ticker symbol will be changed from "FB" to "MVRS" from December 1.
As soon as the news came out, it triggered a hot discussion in the industry, once again detonating the concept of "metaverse" and the "VR" track. This underscores Facebook's growing ambitions to go beyond social media and its vision to "immerse" itself in the virtual world for work and play in the future.
Filecoin can create an open Web 3.0-driven metaverse
Juan: We can build an open Web 3.0-driven metaverse, and that's what our Filecoin idea is, and we want you to join in making it a reality.
I am especially proud to share with you that the Filecoin community is a leader in many development metaversms.
For example, like the development of NFTs, NFTs have a concept of property rights in the blockchain, so that everyone can have a subordination relationship with space or assets, and they hope to apply NFTs in an open relationship. This means that NFTs interoperate with each other, not only in closed architectures, but also in open architectures.
There are two projects here, and there are other excellent projects. In this area, there are a lot of ideas and activities that are constantly emerging, which is very interesting. Museums and art galleries can be developed in a composable way, and the room itself is an NFT. Moreover, when individual rooms are developed, they are all developed individually.
Prior to that, IPFS founder Juan Bennet gave his thoughts on the theme of "Metacosm Construction" at OVioHQ's Diffusion 2021 event.
The metaverse needs power, empowered by Web 3.0 technology
"Metaverses are important to each of us," Juan first introduced the vision of the metaverse, and then he pointed out: Metaverses need power, and Web 3.0 provides technological empowerment. Incentives are the foundation of civilization, and blockchain enables globally-scale, robust, and scalable mechanism design.
In addition, he shared the value of Web 3.0, including decentralization, privacy security, user rights confirmation, etc., and explained how Web 3.0 catalyzed the metaverse.
IPFS provides storage and retrieval for the metaverse
In the second part, Juan introduces Libp2p, IPFS, and the Interstellar File System. He said CIDs could be used to link data, IPFS could be used as tools to distribute and manage data, and interstellar file system networks could be used to store data. "By using protocol labs' recent NFT.storage and Web3.Storage, you can easily do everything above." He introduced that NFT.storage can be used to store NFT data for free, while Web3.Storage is a simple interface for developers to store and retrieve data from the decentralized storage network of the Interstellar File System.
Unlike Oasis, the Metaverse is an open platform
On the topic of how the metaverse grows, Juan believes that it is possible for large companies to create large-scale platforms to build the metaverse, but if, like the "oasis" in the movie "Ready Player One", the big companies eventually control the interaction of most users, which will turn into a bad world. The metacosm should start with fragments and then be connected together, and it should be an open platform. "It's great to see the NFT Museum and the NFT Gallery grow, because that allows us to have a valuable experience in the virtual world and explore the metaverse." Juan said.
A call for broader "metaverse" participants
Based on the determination of the openness to the metaverse, Juan also encouraged everyone to actively participate in the construction of the metaverse through the four aspects of "starting, building, releasing, and growing". Among them, the protocol lab official also gave some support policies and bonuses, and everyone is welcome to participate in building Web3 together. In addition, he introduced some of the ideas and opportunities for builders, including data upgrades, infrastructure, NFTs, gaming and social experiences, worlds, and more.
brief summary
Juan said that the development of history is always driven by a small number of people, which in turn affects most people. He encouraged everyone to create their own metaverse, "The more you participate, the faster the metaverse will be realized, and the future is up to you!" In the metaverse world, the value of IPFS distributed storage is to serve as the underlying storage, so that all data assets in the metacosm and NFT have a permanent and safe "shelter"
The metacosm contains a huge data system and digital assets, and it is necessary to ensure that data is stored permanently and securely, and the permanence and uniqueness of digital assets are guaranteed. IPFS distributed storage thus becomes the infrastructure of the metaverse: IPFS distributed storage provides verifiable storage on a decentralized network, uses content addressing to reference data, supports the long-term carrying of more value data and never loses it, and can be used as the underlying storage of metaverse data.
With the acceleration of the metaverse and may become an important part of future life, IPFS distributed storage will also be widely used, supporting the concept of metacosmity becoming a reality, and helping the integration and development of the real economy and the digital economy.
