Skiff Integrates IPFS to Bring Decentralization and Encryption to Consumers

Skiff’s integration of IPFS means documents and files can be stored and shared with security, persistence, and privacy.

Today, Skiff (opens new window)has announced its integration of the Interplanetary File System (IPFS) to add a secure, persistent, and decentralized storage layer to its collaboration product.

Skiff is now open to the public! Learn more below, or jump right in at

#Catching up with Skiff

Skiff is a private, decentralized, and end-to-end encrypted workspace for the modern web. Today, most collaboration platforms rely on centralized servers, which moderate document state, collaborative changes, and content sharing through Operational Transforms [OT].

These OT solutions, though swift and efficient, suffer from the shortcomings of centralization. Most notably, lack of privacy. In order to manage document state, OTs must also, by necessity, have access to all the information created within the document itself.

Skiff solves the tension between collaboration and privacy by offering a solution: a decentralized, open-source collaboration and document management software that is fully end-to-end encrypted to preserve privacy. Skiff’s product uses a “conflict-free replicated data type” (CRDT), which allows multiple independent parties to maintain, update, and merge documents. CRDTs are not a new concept for the world of collaboration technology, but only recently have reached the throughput and efficiency needed to enable a consumer-facing application that can mimic the efficiency of OTs without the drawbacks of centralized privacy.

#Skiff x IPFS

Skiff and Protocol Labs are collaborating to fully integrate IPFS and decentralized storage into Skiff. The result will be a collaboration management application in which users can store files, images, content, PDFs, and more all through IPFS.

Skiff’s integration of IPFS retains the end-to-end encryption that Skiff users expect as a cornerstone of the system. Skiff and IPFS will continue to collaborate to roll out the capabilities of document management within the decentralized storage ecosystem.

Can Filecoin Become the Next Bitcoin?

In the post-epidemic era, the global economy has fallen into a downturn, and the industrial growth of each industry has stagnated. On the other hand, the crypto market has ushered in a new round of skyrocketing. From last year's hot DeFi market, which opened the prelude to the bull market of the entire crypto market, to the explosion of the concepts of NFT, GameFi and Metaverse, all of which demonstrated the potential development of a huge crypto market.

On the one hand, with the recent breakthrough of Bitcoin, the skyrocketing price of SHIB has also led MAME coin to go crazy, and many speculators have joined the ranks of MAME coin investment. Although in this MAME coin carnival, some people have obtained a hundredfold or thousandfold increase in assets, but more users have suffered heavy losses due to the collapse of the project. Risk and return are interdependent, and high returns often represent high risks, which is especially obvious in the crypto market.

On the other hand, as people's willingness to invest in encrypted assets continues to increase, many countries such as the United States, Canada, Australia, and Switzerland hold an open and tolerant attitude towards encrypted assets led by Bitcoin. This also makes the Bitcoin futures ETF officially listed in October, providing traditional investment users with more secure and compliant encrypted asset services. In addition, banks in various countries have also developed a strong interest in encrypted asset services.

According to related reports：

Commonwealth Bank will be the first in Australia to offer crypto services to customers, the bank said in a Wednesday statement.

The bank will offer a crypto exchange and a custody service in collaboration with Gemini and intelligence firm Chainalysis.

Customers will have access to 10 digital assets, including bitcoin, ether, bitcoin cash, and litecoin.

Commonwealth Bank will integrate Gemini’s crypto exchange into its app through an exclusive partnership, the bank’s CEO Matt Comyn said in the press release.

The offerings will start next week as a pilot. Commonwealth Bank will add features progressively.

Obviously, after the world's major traditional institutions enter the encrypted asset industry, Bitcoin will inevitably usher in a new soaring. However, investing in Bitcoin seems to be a game among the rich due to the high price. It is difficult for ordinary people to earn the first gold in their lives from Bitcoin investment.

However, it seems that Filecoin will also perform the script that once became rich by buying Bitcoin.

Say Bitcoin is the gold in the world of encrypted assets, then Filecoin is the gold in the decentralized storage ecosystem. Storage is not a pseudo-demand, the operation of the Internet is inseparable from enormous amounts of data. This data needs to be stored so that it can be used when needed. Amazon, Microsoft in the United States, Samsung in South Korea, AliCloud and Tencent Cloud in China have been deeply involved in the field of data storage for many years. But still, they are centralized storage, while IPFS perfectly solves this vital con. However, the current mainstream data storage method remains centralized storage.

Filecoin is the token of the IPFS incentive layer. Its serves as an income for store and retrieve, it encourages miners to better serve the entire market, and hence makes the entire IPFS ecosystem prosper. Its price determines its practicality.

Although the currency price continues to trade sideways, the Filecoin mining market is still hot. No matter how the currency price fluctuates, mining coins always gives out the most stable long-term return. Without the promotion of FIL, which is the ticket and fuel for the largest and most reliable storage market in the future, the IPFS decentralized storage network cannot stand strong. Currently, the only factor IPFS lacks is a firm application basis. With the development of IPFS technology, Filecoin's ecosystem will surely usher in a full-blown explosion.

FILPool as a crypto asset investment services platform with global presence, provides users with one-stop mining investment services by launching Filecoin hashrate leasing products. FILPool has established multiple IPFS&Filecoin mines around the world to ensure true and transparent hash power. Currently, FILPool has established IDC data centers in Seoul and South Korea.

If you want to invest in Filecoin mining, FILPool one-stop investment services can make it easier for you to participate in it. Even if you don't want to spend money and participate in Filecoin mining,FILPool is still here for you.

Will IPFs bring a piracy free network era?

IPFs can effectively protect and encourage content creation. In terms of copyright confirmation and genuine verification, it can achieve data credibility, copyright protection and transaction credibility. In terms of preventing piracy, it can give priority to duplicate inspection and protection through technologies such as "file fingerprint" and "file de duplication".

On November 1, the personal information protection law was officially implemented, and building a secure boundary for the use of information and protecting personal information in an all-round way once again became a hot topic.

At present, with the popularity of the Internet, the problem of user privacy disclosure is receiving great attention. In July this year, Zhejiang communications administration investigated that on November 11, 2019, Alibaba cloud disclosed the registration information retained by the user to third-party partners without the user's consent. Subsequently, Alibaba cloud reported that the incident had been seriously dealt with and actively rectified in accordance with the company's system. The copyright owner of this year's hit series "anti Mafia storm" issued a statement, saying that the full version of the sample film sent for approval by "anti Mafia storm" was exposed on the Internet and widely spread in a very short time, which has seriously disturbed the normal broadcasting order of the film.

At present, the world has gradually entered the digital era, data has become the core production factor of enterprises, and any data security event has a great impact. One after another data leakage incidents targeting users and enterprises occur frequently, which makes many people pay attention to the emerging blockchain technology. How to make the data no longer "transparent" through the unique advantages of tamper proof, traceability and full link transparency of blockchain? Relevant experts answered this.

Blockchain is decentralized

"At present, the new IT infrastructure built with blockchain technology as the core is improving the related problems of data security from the underlying architecture." He Jin, Professor of blockchain Industry School of Chengdu University of information engineering, said that blockchain technology, abbreviated as BT (blockchain Technology), also known as distributed ledger technology, can be simply understood as a "distributed shared database", It has three main characteristics: open and transparent information, difficult to tamper with records, and non centralization without relying on intermediaries.

"The main role of blockchain is to make data traceable and trustworthy, so as to promote the evolution of information internet to value Internet. In the system that has used blockchain technology, the trust problem of all parties involved can be effectively solved by automatically executing smart contracts without the audit of central institutions." He Jin said, The system architecture based on blockchain has the characteristics of decentralization, which can be tamper proof, traceable and transparent all links. It provides a new path to solve the problems of certificate storage, transaction and rights protection in fields such as network copyright. Many content giants at home and abroad have begun to use blockchain to solve the persistent problem of piracy.

On April 9, 2020, the opinions of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council on building a more perfect market-oriented allocation system and mechanism of factors were published, and the data were written into the document as a new type of production factor. The efficient allocation of data elements requires the reform of data resource allocation system and mechanism matched with the reform of market economy from the perspective of transaction marketization; It is also necessary to provide technical support from the perspective of technical implementation. Blockchain technology is an important supporting technology in the era of digital economy.

In May this year, the Ministry of industry and information technology and the state network information office issued the guiding opinions on accelerating the application of blockchain technology and industrial development, which further defined the development objectives of the blockchain industry in the next 10 years: by 2025, the comprehensive strength of China's blockchain industry will reach the world advanced level and the industry will begin to take shape; By 2030, the comprehensive strength of China's blockchain industry will continue to improve and the industrial scale will further expand.

"The release of the guidance indicates that the top-level design of China's blockchain development has been basically completed, which has important guiding significance for the overall development of the industry." He Jin said that with the increase of policy efforts and the continuous maturity of blockchain technology, blockchain has begun to show its edge in anti-counterfeiting traceability, supply chain management, judicial deposit, government data sharing, livelihood services and other scenarios.

However, blockchain technology itself still faces problems such as security, credibility and scalability. Limited by many factors such as underlying technology, scenarios and commercialization, blockchain has not really realized large-scale implementation.

Blockchain "upstart" IPFs can effectively protect digital information

As a mainstream system protocol in the blockchain technology field, IPFs (interplanetary file system) has caught fire in recent years. IPFs is also called "interstellar file system". It is a point-to-point distributed file system protocol. You can understand it as a network transmission protocol for network content storage and file sharing.

"In the IPFs protocol, how files are stored, indexed and transmitted in the system is defined in advance, that is, the uploaded files are converted into a special data format for storage; at the same time, IPFs will hash the same files to determine their unique address." He Jin said that the biggest difference between IPFs and HTTP protocol is that HTTP passes through the domain name (web address) To find the text, pictures, music, video and other content stored in the network, commonly known as "web address addressing"; IPFs looks for network files through file fingerprints (hash values), commonly known as "content addressing".

We are no stranger to "URL addressing". "Content addressing" can be understood as that when you want to see a movie, you only need to enter the movie name into the search box, and the movie will be presented directly. Without a series of complex operations, it can better ensure the user's sense of experience. In this regard, he Jin added that when the server nodes based on IPFs protocol develop to a certain extent, there will be no single point of failure, that is, there will be no phenomena such as "404 inaccessible", and the rapid exchange of data between nodes can be realized without mutual trust.

In terms of preventing piracy and information leakage, IPFs is a "potential stock" in the blockchain technology industry. Chen Xu, a distinguished industry tutor of the school of blockchain industry of Chengdu University of information engineering, believes that the main application scenarios of IPFs include search engine, file transmission, social media, content platform, etc.

It is understood that once the security sensitive data stored on IPFs and protected by blockchain authorization and additional security mechanism is found to be copied and disseminated, it may touch the IPFs smart contract. The system will destroy or warn the file and record this error at the same time, so as to provide reliable data for subsequent accountability and traceability.

Chen Xu believes that on the premise that the Internet infrastructure and underlying data are mature, IPFs can effectively protect and encourage content creation. In terms of copyright confirmation and genuine verification, IPFs can achieve data credibility, copyright protection and transaction credibility. In terms of preventing piracy, IPFs can give priority to duplicate inspection and protection through technologies such as "file fingerprint" and "file de duplication".

IPFs is expected to become a new "tuyere" of information industry

In recent years, in response to the national call for new infrastructure, domestic telecom operators have established distributed storage infrastructure. Alibaba cloud, Tencent cloud, Huawei cloud, Inspur and other enterprises are entering the layout of IPFs. At the same time, some technical service providers focusing on decentralization have also become exporters of the underlying technology community.

"At present, the infrastructure of smart city construction in major cities mostly adopts distributed storage, so that the upper application can withstand the huge data flow. After years of development, it has formed a certain scale and application, especially the whole network computing power of IPFs has obvious advantages," He Jin said, Some Internet technology enterprises are participating in the wave of exploration and research of this new technology.

Jiang Yin, a researcher at the digital governance research center of the school of blockchain industry, Chengdu University of information engineering, also believes that IPFs technology, as an important supporting technology in the era of digital economy, its research and application will largely meet the requirements of all walks of life for data security, so as to realize the effective protection of enterprises and people's digital information assets. "The integrated development of IPFs technology will serve enterprises and people in government affairs, finance, medical treatment, education, law and other industries," he said.

"Although some enterprises are actively exploring and developing the market, it should be noted that the advantages of IPFs are relative. Only when there are enough storage nodes based on IPFs protocol can they give full play to their great advantages. At present, many practical applications are distributed storage based on a single ecology, so the storage cost is not reduced, but the hardware investment cost is increased. In this regard, the government or leading enterprises need to take the lead to build a unified application platform for trusted blockchain research and trusted distributed storage, "Jiang Yin said.

In this regard, Chen Xu also believes that according to the development law of IT technology, continuous research and practice are needed to form large-scale applications, including the government strengthening policy support and guidance, universities and scientific research institutions strengthening research and cultivating talents, and enterprises should cultivate the market more prospectively and actively. "The government, universities, scientific research institutions and enterprises should work together to build an ecosystem of talents, theory, technology and market, cultivate 'new species' in the new ecology and apply them to daily production and life, so as to form sustainable vitality and value," he said.

BPool特别为这一次意义非凡的一周年活动进行整理，请阅读以下回顾，更多信息请前往Filecoin Orbit YouTube播放列表查看完整的会谈清单。

Filecoin Virtual Machine — Filecoin虚拟机（FVM）

“Filecoin虚拟机的目标是使用户能够在Filecoin区块链上部署自己的智能合约，来自Protocol Labs（协议实验室）的Raúl Kripalani透露。”有很多东西可以建立在FVM上，我们对此感到非常兴奋。我们真正想做的是让你思考这里的可能性。”

FVM为Filecoin区块链带来了可编程性和与Ethereum虚拟机智能接触的兼容性。Filecoin Orbit的与会者是第一批了解到FVM具体作用的人，并且FVM的推行将释放出成千上万的机会。

互联网档案馆

互联网档案馆是最早收录了Filecoin和IPFS的具体信息，是以安全和强大的方式存储人类最宝贵的信息的组织之一，并在2020年4月宣布与Filecoin基金会合作，为这一重要使命服务。

在Filecoin Orbit上，互联网档案馆的创始人Brewster Kahle指出了为子孙后代归档知识的重要性。他说：”我们想让互联网成为永久性的，因为当万维网创建时，它没有一个为长寿而生的结构，这也是Filecoin和互联网档案馆旨在解决的事情。”

The Truth Machine

通过将Chainlink整合到Filecoin生态系统中，出现了许多以前不可能实现的双向智能合约功能，如去中心化的甲骨文网络。

在这一次Filecoin Orbit炉边谈话中，Chainlink联合创始人Sergey Nazarov与Juan Benet讨论了这些和其他新的能力，以及加密验证系统将如何帮助解决大规模的全球问题。

Zcash

上个月，Protocol Labs、Electric Coin Company（ECC）和Ethereum Foundation宣布合作研发Halo 2，ECC的Zcash递归系统。Zcash是一种增强隐私的加密货币，而Halo 2也是区块链可扩展性的一个奇迹。在Filecoin Orbit的主题小组中，Zcash创造者和ECC首席执行官Zooko Wilcox和Filecoin基金会主席Marta Belcher谈到了扩展Halo零知识证明系统以及如何使用这项新技术。

Zooko还谈到了web3在隐私方面的含义。”很多人认为隐私是’秘密’，但对我来说，它意味着同意。你应该选择在你的生活中与谁分享信息。Web3应该使那些人能够按照他们自己的条件进行分享”。

NFTs

OpenSea是首批整合Filecoin并允许创作者冻结元数据的NFT市场之一，使NFT变得可验证并存储数据使其长期存在。

OpenSea联合创始人兼首席执行官Devin Finzer在这次Filecoin Orbit中进行了深入的谈话，并提到了用Filecoin存储NFT元数据的好处：”你知道我们开始与IPFS和Filecoin进行更密切的合作，我们真的想为创建NFT的人创造一种体验，让他们能够永久地存储他们的元数据。”

对初创企业的要求

在Filecoin Orbit周开始时，Protocol Labs对 “加密原生 “初创公司发出了一个意义深远的请求，邀请新的和现有的公司寻求Protocol Labs网络的支持，并加入加密原生革命，Filecoin官方将为建设的团队提供可靠的服务，让他们自由地专注于他们着手解决的核心技术问题。

Filecoin基金会

除了参加关于Filecoin Green和Zcash的会议外，迅速成长的Filecoin基金会在Filecoin Orbit会议期间还参加并主持了其他一些活动。他们以一个市政厅式的活动拉开序幕，专门讨论Web3中的治理理念以及它与Filecoin生态系统的关系。
