Strategy and Goals

Our strategy centers around:

1. Hyperscale the knowledgeable + aligned developers improving the PL Stack (IPFS, Filecoin, libp2p, IPLD, and more)
   1. Scale hiring & PL Launchpad
   2. Transition to default-open, network-native development
2. Deliver robust, accessible storage & retrieval of data across IPFS & Filecoin
   1. Seamless PiB Onboarding
   2. Reliable Retrievals
   3. Supra-linear Adoption
3. Launch Network Breakthroughs that unlock user-defined programmability in Filecoin, Scalability and Compute
   1. FVM, Retrieval Markets, Consensus Scalability, Compute over Data, Timelock Encryption, etc
4. Keep critical team + network systems running smoothly
   1. Reliable releases, infra, & observability
