On August 18th we held our first ever Lab Day (opens new window): a day-long event dedicated to contributors and collaborators in the Protocol Labs ecosystem. Our goal with Lab Day was to gather our community to share and collaborate with each other in a fun and inspiring environment. We heard presentations from a wide array of researchers, developers, and contributors to the IPFS (opens new window), libp2p (opens new window), IPLD (opens new window), and Filecoin (opens new window) ecosystems.

We’d like to extend our warmest thanks to all who attended, contributed, and made the event such a success.
