Filecoin is a peer-to-peer network that enables reliable, decentralised file storage through built-in economic incentives and cryptographic proofs. Users pay storage providers (computers) that store and continuously prove file integrity, to store their files over time securely.

3rd place: 3 winners for 3k USD each
Key challenges to tackle:
• Data Provenance: In an era of AI-generated content, verifying data origins is crucial. Filecoin's immutable storage enables transparent data lineage tracking and verification of untampered LLM models.
• Data Sourcing: As high-quality user data becomes scarce, we need ethical collection solutions. Filecoin enables data marketplaces and DAOs that respect privacy, while incentivizing authentic contributions.
• Fair Attribution: AI's growth demands equitable compensation for data creators. Filecoin enables transparent value tracking and distribution through Data DAOs.
• Efficient AI: Generative AI’s growing demands for data and computing power raise serious environmental concerns. Filecoin's decentralized storage can enable efficient model training and deployment.
We're especially interested in projects that consider:
• Modular Architecture
• In terchain Interoperab ility
• Ag entic Economy

The Checker Network provides verifiable quality of service checks and reputation data on DePIN nodes and networks. Just think of Google Reviews, but for DePINs.
The Checker Network is structured to host Checker “subnets”. For example, Filecoin Spark is a Checker Subnet that checks the retrievability of data on Filecoin.
By structuring the Checker Network in this way, it enables anyone to build Checker subnets just like Filecoin Spark that can measure, verify and improve web3 networks, whilst rewarding those involved. What’s more, If a subnet is successful, builders can earn from them!
Build Checker subnets that create verifiable reputation data on a DePIN network.
All reputation data is and must be stored on Filecoin!

Prizes:
1st: $2,500
2nd: $1,500
3rd: $1,000
