Here’s what’s happening in the [**InterPlanetary File System**](https://ipfs.io/) galaxy!
## Mint NFTs and Publish to IPFS From Wolfram
## Introducing Web3.Storage!

Jon Woodard, CEO of [Wolfram Blockchain Labs](https://blog.wolfram.com/2021/05/12/using-ipfs-filecoin-and-the-wolfram-language-to-build-a-unified-decentralized-services-interface/) (WBL), has worked to develop[ innovative smart contract solutions](https://www.wolframblockchainlabs.com/computational-facts/), including the opportunities for _collectible, credential,_ and _programmatic_ NFTs. During the five years Woodard and WBL have worked on NFTs, they have emerged as one of the largest sectors of consumer adoption for smart contracts. WBL has just announced the [Wolfram Language-Cardano](https://www.wolfram.com/language/) blockchain integration. The integration will make its debut with a liveminting event happening on July 27, 2021. During the liveminting event, an NFT will be created in real time on the Cardano blockchain for the audience, providing participants with a live look at innovation in progress. Learn more about the liveminting event: [“Stephen Wolfram’s Picks of Cellular Automata from the Computational Universe.”](https://blog.wolfram.com/2021/07/21/liveminting-nfts-with-the-wolfram-language-on-the-cardano-blockchain/)
Protocol Labs has launched [**Web3.Storage**](https://web3.storage/), a simple interface for developers to store and retrieve data from Filecoin’s decentralized storage network. Web3.Storage 一 which will remain free indefinitely 一 gives developers an easy avenue to build applications with redundant, decentralized storage and secure, content addressed data. By handling a ton of the complexity of interacting directly with decentralized storage, it is the one of the best ways to integrate with Filecoin storage for all developers, from Web3 newbies to IPFS veterans! [**Try Web3.Storage now**](https://web3.storage/) plus learn how it works, how to interact with it, and what’s next in [**this blog post**](https://filecoin.io/blog/posts/introducing-web3-storage/).
## Introducing ChainSafe Storage (A Note from ChainSafe)
## js-IPFS 0.56.0 Upgrade
![](../assets/chainsafe-storage-sceenshot.png)
![](../assets/header-image-js-ipfs-placeholder.png)
ChainSafe is proud to launch [**ChainSafe Storage**](https://storage.chainsafe.io/): Store files directly to the IPFS/Filecoin network. Storage is ChainSafe’s newest product which provides an intuitive front-end UI allowing devs to publicly pin and unpin files to IPFS, backed up to Filecoin. The service also exposes our APIs by providing API keys on demand, allowing anyone to build products connected to Filecoin and IPFS. We’re extremely excited to offer this product within the Filecoin and IPFS ecosystems. Our call to action for you: test it, build with it, explore with it. Discover the possibilities of building with Storage unlocks. To excite the imagination, here’s a reminder: our privacy-first, non-custodial file storage solution [**ChainSafe Files**](http://app.files.chainsafe.io/) was built using Storage. If you want to get in touch with our Files/Storage developers, don’t forget to drop into our Files #support channel on [**Discord**](https://discord.gg/CprJHjrWG6) to ask questions. For more updates, make sure to follow ChainSafe’s [**Twitter**](https://twitter.com/ChainSafeth)!
[**js-IPFS 0.56.0**](https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs/releases/tag/ipfs%400.56.0) is on its way to the moon with a new data layer and import/export for [**Content Addressable aRchives**](https://ipld.io/specs/transport/car/) along with many small bug fixes and performance improvements! All part of the js-IPFS roadmap ([**check it out here**](https://github.com/orgs/ipfs/projects/6)). Read [**this blog post**](https://blog.ipfs.io/2021-07-29-js-ipfs-0-56/) to learn more about the [**0.56.0 upgrade**](https://blog.ipfs.io/2021-07-29-js-ipfs-0-56/), including new features, breaking changes, and bug fixes.

## Want to help build the new internet?
[**Developer Relations**](https://boards.greenhouse.io/textileio/jobs/4075619004): Textile is seeking someone to run large-scale community projects. These include amplifying our grants program to fund community projects, curating governance groups where we bring community stakeholders into our technology planning, engaging with external teams like Gitcoin and EthDenver to support large-scale developer events, and giving technical presentations at events. This position also includes day-to-day engagement with our Slack group, helping to triage GitHub issues, hacking on demos, writing blog posts and technical guides, and more. We are looking for a self-directed leader who wants to build a developer community while staying hands on with technology. **Textile**, Remote.
[**Social Media Manager**](https://jobs.lever.co/protocol/c7b59dee-673b-42ff-85db-69e27a253f60): Protocol Labs is seeking a Social Media Manager to build best-practice growth strategies, own social tactics, and posting across all of our various channels. Your goal is to assist, educate, and excite every member of our community. You will be responsible for communication with our community primarily on Twitter, Reddit, and Slack but also occasionally over email, Telegram, Discord and other channels. This audience includes everyone from industry leaders, Protocol Labs partners, and investors to storage providers, developers, and users. **Protocol Labs**, Remote.
[**Senior Software Engineer**](https://jobs.lever.co/protocol/3490e571-4d47-487e-a47f-b02f08668290): Distributed systems engineering lies at the center of many projects at Protocol Labs. With IPFS, libp2p, Filecoin, and other related projects, we are laying the foundation for a more resilient, more secure, distributed version of the web. This requires rigorous engineering from protocol design through all the phases of implementation. We strike a balance between pragmatism (put it on a ship :ferry:), deeply informed protocol design, and strict application of strong engineering principles. All of this happens in an environment defined by curiosity, passion, and a love for open source. **Protocol Labs**, Remote.
