At Protocol Labs, the Data Systems team works on the data layer of the transfer protocols in the interplanetary stack that Protocol Labs helps maintain. At Filecoin Orbit, Will Scott from the Data Systems team walked through how content routing currently works in IPFS, and the improvements being made to ensure more efficient and complete data transfer. [**Catch up here**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y175X7mK6E8&list=PL_0VrY55uV1_HE_bE-frkYUPGybjYHbNz&index=44). +Most people already know what IPFS is and what it offers to the average developer in terms of distributed data. However, IPFS isn't the only thing that one should understand about this revolutionary system. Underneath IPFS is a system known as IPLD that deals with all the heavy lifting that IPFS does to store data on-chain and create hash-links which we see as content IDs (CIDs). But what is IPLD, and why is it important in the grander scheme of things? Learning about IPLD will allow a unique insight into how IPFS works and the methods necessary to extend the data structures currently available to users through IPFS. Read [this recent blog post](https://blog.ipfs.io/what-is-ipld/) to learn all there is to know about IPLD. ## **Brand new on IPFS** -* From the Mercury Hackathon, part of Asia Hackathon 2021, Join Yusef Napora for a 45-min workshop about NFT.storage and IPFS for NFTs.
