Error establishing a database connection
There's a Dapp for that:

Interesting points:
- there is no token, and so IPFS isn't as sexy as some of the stuff running on Ethereum
- there may be no role to be played by VCs in advancing IPFS.
There's a lot of innovation going on that ticks both boxes. I'm curious to see how venture funding will adapt (or not).
- amasad 9y agoIPFS has a token called filecoin and has a whole slew of VCs invested in it.
- diggan 9y agoIt's important to get the relationship between IPFS and Filecoin correct. Saying "IPFS has a token called Filecoin" is not true, as IPFS works (today, right now) without Filecoin, which has not been built yet. Filecoin is simply a way to store things in exchange for FIL (or vice-versa). Filecoin does depend on IPFS, but IPFS is a standalone project and does not require Filecoin to be useful. Disclaimer: I work for Protocol Labs, specifically on the IPFS project
