Juan Benet founded Protocol Labs in 2014 when he was building IPFS and Filecoin, two foundational technologies of the decentralized internet and Web3. In this talk from LabWeek22 last November in Lisbon, Juan explains the importance of R&D, the lack of funding it receives, and how he hopes to solve this problem with Protocol Labs, an ecosystem of teams based on open source, working together bridge what he calls the innovation chasm — the separation between research and deployment of product.
How Web3 Will Change Science
Decentralized science, or DeSci, is the attempt to improve science with Web3 technology.
Homomorphic Encryption and Solving Data Privacy
Rapid onset of artificial intelligence (AI) and Web3 is changing our lives and increasing the urgency of data privacy.
