## **Building Web3: Berty**
## **Fleek: A Web3 Developer Hub on IPFS**

There are known security issues in current Web 2.0 messaging services built on centralized networks. [Berty](https://berty.tech/) addresses these issues with a distributed communication protocol that takes advantage of the decentralized infrastructure provided by IPFS to build an untraceable messaging system. It’s completely peer-to-peer, open-source, and it can operate over bluetooth, without an internet connection. [Read more](https://blog.ipfs.io/2022-03-11-berty/) on the IPFS blog and join the [Berty community](https://berty.tech/community).
Developers looking to build on the Web3 stack have a low-code solution that allows them to host their dapps, websites, and frontends using decentralized infrastructure. Fleek orchestrates services like IPFS, Filecoin, and ENS to provide a viable alternative to Web 2.0 counterparts like AWS, and DNS. [**Find out more**](https://blog.ipfs.io/2022-04-24-fleek/) about how the tool is helping to make the web permissionless, trustless, and community-owned.
## **Brand New on IPFS ✨**
1. Recently Michelle Lee joined Patrick Wheeler and Jason Gauci on [The Programming Throwdown](https://www.programmingthrowdown.com/2022/03/129-web-30-breaking-free-from-client.html) to talk about how Web3 disrupts the client-server model and introduces trust back into the web. More importantly, they discussed IPFS’ role in powering these developments. [Listen to the episode](https://www.programmingthrowdown.com/2022/03/129-web-30-breaking-free-from-client.html).
2. Applications for the [Faber Filecoin Accelerator](https://filecoin.faber.vc/) are open until March 31st. Join the fully-remote, 12-week program to work with entrepreneurs and engineers solving the hardest problems in getting new Web3 infrastructure and applications off the ground. [Apply now](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScNVB9IFo58k3fY3pEDnF4eHybye-9MywIAFmTcsJZjvC4HwA/viewform?usp=pp_url)!
3. Cryptography is going to space! Stanford PhDs at [Cryptostat](https://www.cryptosat.io/) are in collaboration with the community to launch Bernardo David and Carsten Baum’s work on a new time-based cryptographic primitive known as the Verifiable Delay Function (VFD) powered by unique satellite properties. Read the official [announcement](https://medium.com/cryptosatellite/cryptosat-and-protocol-labs-collaborate-to-take-cryptography-to-space-e5d78e89cdfe).
4. ETHGlobal’s [BuildQuest](https://buildquest.ethglobal.com/) Summit is coming to an end. [Watch](https://ethglobal.tv/buildquest-finale-e6eda9b3) the demos of the top 10 teams and see all the winners of this The 12-day hackathon focused on gaming and the metaverse. You can also watch Discordian’s [Intro to IPFS and Blockchain](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJO-1PIOmYw) and Pan Chasinga’s [IPFS Build 3D Voxel Characters in MagicaVoxel](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFakIp8l-AA) workshop recorded at the BuildQuest Workshop Day from March 5th.
5. Mark your calendar for Konstantin Tkachuk’s Intro to IPFS and Filecoin and How They Shape the Future of Web3 on March 24. Besides a high-level look at what the systems do, Konstantin will go into their potential, applications, and user-friendly tools for developers in this 45-minute workshop. [Set a reminder](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPfPIjN8nHo) on Youtube.
6. [Take a look](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dB085fAJMQ) at this quick tutorial on how to upload your NFTs to IPFS via Pinata and Rampp.xyz by Tim Carambat. Everything is handled from your browser and requires no coding at all.
7. Watch Yusuf Abdulrahman’s [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOpUJgOrALg) on how to upload files to IPFS directly from your browser as well with a [dedicated tool](https://anarkrypto.github.io/upload-files-to-ipfs-from-browser-panel/public/#).
8. Read through Rounak Banik’s two-part guide on creating generative art NFTs and storing their metadata on IPFS. He’ll take you through the [generation process](https://dev.to/rounakbanik/create-generative-nft-art-with-rarities-1n6f) in Python to [pinning](https://dev.to/rounakbanik/working-with-nft-metadata-ipfs-and-pinata-3ieh) the data on IPFS with Pinata.
1. [**NFT.Storage**](https://nft.storage/) is [**celebrating**](https://nft.storage/blog/post/2022-03-29-50M-uploads/) 50 million uploads as it continues to provide developers and applications with a streamlined way to store virtual assets and their metadata on IPFS and Filecoin.
