 Welcome to Crypto Economics Day at Phil Austin. My name is Dave Costanero. I'm a brand new member of the Protocol Labs CryptoEcon Lab, so I'm super excited to hear these talks, as well as to hear your questions and your comments. Our lineup of speakers will be talking about the main issues that we're facing in this real-time team effort to forge the rules of the new Web3 economy. So, you know, we call this crypto economics. I can't think of another technology in my lifetime where the stakes have been so electrifyingly high. Some of the best practices are emerging in the concrete value in use cases in and around the Filecoin ecosystem. Filecoin is a decentralized data storage network designed to store humanity's most important information. And Filecoin's unique crypto economic system is central to its design. In less than two years since its launch, the global network has grown to orchestrate more than 4,000 independently operating cloud data storage providers. The contributions of over 10,000 developers and total storage utilization of 99 Pebo bytes. We were looking at the monitor just before this, and it's almost about to tick up to 100, but it'll probably happen later today or tomorrow. So, from perspective, that's roughly the size of the entire Wayback machine, a popular history of select webpages sold and hosted by the Internet Archive, you know, the whole Internet. So, plus, there's even more capacity ready to be utilized. 17 Expo bytes as of today. Again, for perspective, because these numbers make the headspin, that's a capacity on par with the data storage solutions at Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, or Dropbox. And it would only need to grow by 10x to be the size of the most popular cloud data storage solution in the world, Amazon S3. So, Filecoin is clearly growing fast, and along the way, we've also done a lot to expand the ecosystem. Being a champion for scalable Layer 1 research, designing a functional two-sided decentralized marketplace, creating an innovative first deployment of EIP 1559, building data-driven analytics for network governance and evolution, developing Filecoin to become the data availability layer for Web3 blockchains, and introducing new Web3 building blocks with new business opportunities in reputation, retrieval markets, data dows, compute over data, and a lot of other exciting areas. And so, Protocol Labs CryptoEconLab put this event together to share our research findings, opportunities, and challenges with the broader Web3 community, and invite others to do so as well. We'll have 11 speakers. Each talk will be about 20 minutes long, and we'll take a break after the first six speakers a little bit before 3.30 local time. We want to learn from you guys and all of you males and females. I don't want to be gender-specific there. We want to learn from everybody. We're very inclusive. We're hoping for an interactive event. So we'll try to make time after each session for questions, so be thinking about them. It's going to be 105 degrees out there in Austin today, so let's think cool thoughts and dive in.
