We are excited to introduce [**NFT.Storage**](https://nft.storage/), a service backed by Protocol Labs and Pinata specifically for storing NFT data. NFT.Storage allows developers to protect their NFT assets and associated metadata through content addressing and decentralized storage – ensuring that all NFTs follow best practices to stay accessible long-term.
The IPFS community is proud to share another video in the [**Building Web3 Video Series**](https://buildingweb3.com/), which is dedicated to technologists, teams, and visionaries who are building valuable tools and services for a Web3 world. The latest video features [**Audius**](https://audius.org/), a music and audio sharing platform that uses IPFS as the core decentralized storage component in their mission to give everyone the freedom to share, monetize and listen to any audio. [**Read our recent blog post to learn more about the IPFS and Audius collaboration.**](https://blog.ipfs.io/2021-05-05-audius-uses-ipfs-web3-video/)
NFT.Storage lets developers store NFT data on decentralized networks easily, securely, and for free! With just a few lines of code, anyone can leverage the power of IPFS and Filecoin to ensure the persistence of their NFTs.

For the Gitcoin GR9 Hackathon, Protocol Labs matched 100% of [**Textile**](https://blog.textile.io/funding-the-community/) and [**Fleek’s**](https://blog.fleek.co/posts/gitcoin-gr9-hackathon-fleek-winners) bounties in effort to amplify the ability of our ecosystem collaborators to be stewards of the IPFS/Filecoin ecosystem and decentralize growth and development. Moreover, $23k in bounties for Filecoin and IPFS were offered to encourage the best of the best for tools, libraries, APIs, apps, integrations, and more.
In the past two months Protocol Labs participated in five different hackathon events, ranging in audience from university builders, to game designers, to blockchain hackers all building on IPFS and Filecoin. Chainlink’s spring hackathon, which kicked off earlier in March, wrapped up mid-month, followed closely by the start of Gamedev.js JAM 2021 where IPFS sponsored a special decentralized track. Cal Hacks’ hello:world event, a weekend-long endeavor, began the same day at Scaling Ethereum, an event hosted by ETHGlobal focused on developing robust infrastructure for the Ethereum blockchain.
Rounding out the month was ASUC’s CivHacks event, another weekend-long university event with the goal of using technology to accomplish social good and civic outreach. Check out the IPFS blog for details on these events and for updates and announcements of future hackathons.
Winners were selected from 167 projects total, with 36 submissions to our ecosystem bounties, [**read this post to learn all about the winning projects - congratulations!**](https://blog.ipfs.io/2021-05-10-gitcoin-gr9-recap/)
