Here’s what’s happening in the [**InterPlanetary File System**](https://ipfs.io/) galaxy!
## IPFS, Filecoin, and Content Persistence
## Starling Lab: Establishing Trust for Humanity’s Data

There are two fundamental problems facing the sustainability of content on the internet: addressing and persistence. _Addressing_ refers to the way in which internet users can find the content that they’re looking for online. Today, the Web leans into location addressing, or finding content by where it is located, as opposed to content addressing, which allows network participants to confidently and consistently ensure their content does not change over time without a clear record of that change. _Persistence_ refers to the ability of those network participants to continue accessing content in perpetuity, without worries of the content disappearing or becoming unavailable for any reason. [**Learn more in our recent blog post.**](https://blog.ipfs.io/2021-06-03-ipfs-filecoin-content-persistence/)
Announcing the launch of Starling Lab, a commitment to continue building the frameworks required to endow humanity’s most vital digital information with trust. In collaboration with the USC Shoah Foundation and Stanford University, Starling Lab is deploying technology and methods that make the decentralized internet a viable platform for social impact. With an initial commitment of $2 million in funding from Protocol Labs and the Filecoin Foundation for the Decentralized Web, the Starling Lab is the first center in the world dedicated to using decentralized tools to advance human rights.
## DI2F: Decentralizing the Internet with IPFS and Filecoin
Core to the Starling Lab solution is the Starling Framework, a set of open-source prototypes, best practices, and case studies built upon IPFS and Filecoin that help to reduce information uncertainty in digital media. The Starling Framework rests on the fundamental need to capture, store, and verify information to protect its integrity.

## Web3 Weekend in Review
The first edition of a research-focused workshop on decentralisation, IPFS and Filecoin is here! DI2F is taking place alongside IFIP Networking 2021 on June 21, 2021 and it has a packed program full of exciting paper presentations, demos, abstracts, hands-on tutorials and invited talks! The workshop sessions will focus on protocol and architecture extensions, Decentralized Identity and Web 3.0 services.

The workshop’s hands-on session will get the audience kickstarted with the IPFS essentials and a hackathon will kick off at the end of the day and run for the following three weeks, netting the finalists prizes of more than $1,000.
What better way to dive into all things Web3 than a weekend hackathon? The folks at ETHGlobal thought so, and we joined them during the last weekend in May for [**Web3 Weekend**](https://web3.ethglobal.co/).
The workshop will run from 13:00-18:30pm UTC+3 on June 21st. You can find the workshop program [**here**](https://networking.ifip.org/2021/workshops/di2f-decentralising-the-internet-with-ipfs-and-filecoin) and registristration for the conference and workshop [**here**](https://networking.ifip.org/2021/registration). Note that non-author students can attend for free but still need to register.
This three-day event kicked off with a full-day summit, bringing together experts and luminaries from across the ecosystem to encourage and inspire builders to challenge the idea of what’s possible with decentralized technologies. Over the weekend, we offered a combined $20,000 Filecoin (FIL) prize pool distributed evenly between all submissions built on or with IPFS or Filecoin during Web3 Weekend. Any project built with ecosystem tools like Textile, Pinata, Fleek, Ceramic, Fission, Livepeer, and more received a prize—over 65 finalists in total! [**Check out this post**](https://blog.ipfs.io/2021-06-08-web3-weekend/) for a full recap including challenges and finalists, as well as Protocol Labs’ talks and workshops from the event.
