Project Name: Boxo-starter-kit Project Category: Education & Outreach Description: boxo-starter-kit is a step-by-step guide for navigating IPFS and Filecoin. While the ecosystem is rich and diverse, its complexity often overwhelms newcomers, becoming a major barrier to entry. This toolkit makes the journey approachable by starting with simple concepts like blocks and CIDs, then gradually introducing advanced concepts like IPNI and trustless gateways. By lowering the entry barrier, it helps grow the developer community and accelerates contributions across the Filecoin and IPFS ecosystem. |

Project Name: Project Category: Description: JZFS adapts principles of open-source software development and distribution to address the technical challenges of data management, data sharing, and digital provenance collection across the life cycle of digital objects. Compared with code in software development, data tend not to be as precisely identified because data versioning is rarely or only coarsely practiced. Scientific computation is not reproducible enough, because data provenance, the information of how a digital file came to be, is often incomplete and rarely automatically captured. Last but not least, in the absence of standardized data packages, there is no uniform way to declare actionable data dependencies and derivative relationships between inputs and outputs of a computation. JZFS aims to solve these issues by providing streamlined, transparent management of code, data, computing environments, and their relationship. JZFS‘s central use case is the Data Hub-and-Spoke Model integrating JZFS and Filecoin (Like Github, buf for Data) to advancing Open Science/AI/Research which essentially consists of a Git version control for data and a Git collaboration for data. |

Project Name: CrossFi Project Category: Education & Outreach Description: CrossFi is a cross-chain DeFi protocol built to unify isolated assets and liquidity across public blockchains such as Ethereum, Filecoin, BSC, and more. It enables users to deposit native tokens (e.g. FIL), lock them, mint synthetic or “mirrored” versions (cTokens), and use those assets in lending, borrowing, swaps or synthetic asset markets without being constrained by chain boundaries. The native token CRFI powers governance, staking rewards, and serves as collateral for minting synthetic assets. Through features like multi-asset adapter protocols, trust layers (L1+L2), and liquidity sharing pools, CrossFi aims to make cross-chain DeFi seamless, liquid, and more accessible.

Project Name: FILLiquid Project Category: Education & Outreach: Description: FILLiquid is a decentralized liquidity pool and multi-chain lending platform built on FVM, empowered by the Filecoin ecosystem, multi-chain expansion, and AI integration. $FIL holders can deposit their tokens into the decentralized liquidity pool to earn passive income through interest paid by borrowers. Additionally, its mining product boosts returns through $FIG rewards. FILLiquid stands out from other lending markets because service providers can access $FIL liquidity without depositing crypto or fiat collateral. Instead, they simply use their beneficiary address as collateral to obtain $FIL loans. The ecosystem has expanded to the BSC chain and will cover Solana and Base chains in 2025, aiming to build a DeFi super hub combining storage, computing, and AI.
