Here’s what’s happening in the InterPlanetary File System (opens new window) galaxy!

# Just released: IPFS Cluster 0.14.0!

We're happy to announce the release of IPFS Cluster 0.14.0 (opens new window)! IPFS Cluster provides an overlay layer to control and orchestrate pinsets in multiple IPFS daemons. It adds content, distributes pins, tracks them, and ensures content is replicated while providing streamlined API(s) for IPFS storage management. From feedback received, the release of IPFS Cluster 0.14.0 (opens new window) has added CAR import support, batched-pin ingestion, and automatic garbage collection to the Badger datastore, along with other optimizations, updates, and bug fixes.

# Browsers 3000 kicks off its 6 week event, including a presentation from ENS

July 8th marked the beginning of Browsers 3000, a six-week event focused on integrating decentralized technologies into the browser experience for users around the world. So far, we’ve heard from team members of Unstoppable Domains, ENS, IPFS, Microsoft, Puma, Agregore, and more.

You can watch the full Browsers 3000 event so far here (opens new window). To drill down to the role that ENS is playing in the evolution of the browser, check out this learning session (opens new window)from Makato Inoue, dev at Ethereum Name Service (opens new window).

# Brand new on IPFS

# Around the ecosystem 🌏

Textile unveils plans to bring native Filecoin storage to NEAR, ETH, Polygon, and others - learn more (opens new window)!

The Protocol Labs R&D teams have been working to bring zk-SNARKs to the world and to Filecoin. Today they launched a minisite (opens new window) as the first preview into the vision & progress. Check it out (opens new window).

Just announced - Techstars and Protocol Labs are collaborating to launch the Filecoin Techstars Accelerator (opens new window) to focus on startups that use the IPFS and Filecoin Networks.

The Graph just launched on Product Hunt (opens new window)! The Graph lets anyone build APIs on top of decentralized networks like Ethereum and IPFS.

Applications are open for Outlier Ventures’ Filecoin Base Camp accelerator. The 3-month remote accelerator gives teams access to stellar product support and up to $250,000 in funding per team. Learn more and apply. (opens new window)

# Upcoming Hackathons

There’s always more ways to build the IPFS ecosystem, check out these upcoming hackathons:

# Want to help build the new internet?

Senior Software Engineer (opens new window): Distributed systems engineering lies at the center of many projects at Protocol Labs. With IPFS, libp2p, Filecoin, and other related projects, we are laying the foundation for a more resilient, more secure, distributed version of the web. This requires rigorous engineering from protocol design through all the phases of implementation. We strike a balance between pragmatism (put it on a ship ⛴), deeply informed protocol design, and strict application of strong engineering principles. All of this happens in an environment defined by curiosity, passion, and a love for open source. Protocol Labs, Remote.

Fullstack Engineer (opens new window): Textile's web products and services are written primarily in Golang and TypeScript, and communicate with Textile's core gRPC services. You will own the end user experience and have full ownership over the product stack, from research and development to implementation and production monitoring. Textile, Remote.

Backend/API Engineer (opens new window): As a Backend/API Engineer, you will research, contribute to the product vision and help define the roadmap of multiple products. You will build and maintain features on the Textile Hub (opens new window), and build new services and systems to integrate with blockchain networks including Threads (opens new window), Buckets (opens new window), Hub (opens new window), and Powergate (opens new window). This role is for someone with solid coding experience and the ability to lead new features. Textile, Remote.

Product Manager, Developer Experience (opens new window): As a Product Manager on the Developer Experience team at 3Box Labs, you'll be in charge of delivering a best-in-class experience for developers building on the Ceramic platform. 3Box Labs created the leading identity and data solution for Web3, and alongside the open source developer community. They’re looking for impact-driven, intentional, and fast-learning teammates. 3Box Labs, Remote.

Community Lead (opens new window): As a Community Lead at 3Box Labs, you’ll have the opportunity to create an incredibly engaged, welcoming, synergistic community around the technology and values that can help catalyze a global movement for a better web. 3Box Labs created the leading identity and data solution for Web3, and alongside the open source developer community. They’re looking for impact-driven, intentional, and fast-learning teammates. 3Box Labs, Remote.

Protocol Engineer (opens new window): As a Protocol Engineer at 3Box Labs, you will contribute to the Ceramic protocol alongside the rest of the core engineers. Projects may include challenges with distributed consensus, sharding, access control systems, blockchain system design, and more. As an early team member, you'll have the opportunity to build deeper expertise in areas you're already familiar as well as explore those that are new. 3Box Labs, Remote.
