Here’s what’s happening in the [**InterPlanetary File System**](https://ipfs.io/) galaxy!
## Audius Uses IPFS for Content Streaming Storage to Empower Artists & Creators Worldwide
## ETHGlobal’s Web3 Weekend Starts This Friday, May 28
@[youtube](c50licHTOik)
![](../assets/2021-05-24-cardheader-web3-weekend.png)We're excited to be supporting [**Web3 Weekend**](https://web3.ethglobal.co/), a hackathon focused entirely on the decentralized future. From May 28th - May 30th, hackers from across the globe will gather online to experiment with NFTs, Smart Contracts, Games, and other innovative solutions. If you're interested in hacking, it's not too late! [**Applications are open**](https://web3.ethglobal.co/) — but spots are running out fast, so apply now!
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.

## Decentralized games at Gamedev.js JAM 2021
## Congrats, Gitcoin Grants Round 9 winners!
![](../assets/gitcoin-gr9-recap.png)
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.
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/)
![](../assets/2021-05-20-cardheader-gamedevjs-jam-2021.png)Earlier this spring, we were happy to partner with the folks at [**Gamedev.js**](https://gamedevjs.com/jam/2021/) for their 2021 hackathon event focused exclusively on games! Gamedev.js Jam celebrates HTML5 games where participants build a web game within 13 days of the jam on a given theme; this year’s was Mirrors.
The IPFS and Filecoin projects put up $5000 in Filecoin into the prize pool for the Decentralization category. As it was the first time the event hosted this category, the community of game developers were seeing some of these technologies for the very first time. Popular tools used were [**Fleek.co**](http://fleek.co/) and Pinata for hosting of assets and data. [**Check out this blog post**](https://blog.ipfs.io/2021-05-20-gamedevjs-recap/) to learn more about the event and about the prize winners.
