The maxim “where there’s a server, there’s a hack” has proven to be true despite the best efforts of corporations like Microsoft, Apple, and Google. The Web3 stack is able to change that and more. Valist is using IPFS and Filecoin to create a safer, faster, and more efficient way to distribute software through decentralized and persistent storage. To find out more, [watch the most recent video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ak6PQPDBkk&t=1s) in the Building Web3 video series featuring Valist and check out[this blog post](https://blog.ipfs.io/2021-12-07-building-web3-valist/). +## Announcing IPFS Cluster Release v0.14.2 + +![](../assets/077-collaborative-clusters-header-image.png) + +A new IPFS Cluster release is out!
