GM BUIDLers!

August has been a whirlwind of exciting developments at Lighthouse! From groundbreaking collaborations to reaching new milestones, we’ve been busy pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in decentralized storage. Whether it's enhancing our services or supporting innovative projects, we've made significant strides this month. Let's dive into some of the highlights from last month.

Keynote Insights from Our Founder

A special shoutout to our founder, Nandit Mehra, for sharing incredible insights on Filecoin about how decentralized storage will shape the future of the data economy. Missed it? Watch the episode here.

Stop rendering websites and HTML content

One of the significant moves we made this month was to stop rendering websites and HTML content from our Lighthouse Public Gateway. This strategic shift allows us to hone in on our core strengths, ensuring that we deliver the most secure and reliable decentralized storage solutions. It’s all about focusing on what we do best to serve you better.

UngateAI's Autonomous Virtual System (AVS)

We also saw some incredible progress with UngateAI. In just three weeks, they built and deployed an Autonomous Virtual System (AVS) using Lighthouse, pushing the boundaries of decentralized intelligence. This project showcases the full potential of our platform and how it can be used to power innovative solutions across various industries

160k Participants in Galxe Quest

A huge milestone was achieved this month—over 160k participants joined our Galxe Quest! This surge in participation is a testament to the growing interest and engagement within our community. It’s been amazing to see so many of you take part, and we’re beyond grateful for the support. Together, we’re building something truly special.

Collaborating with Sirio Finance

Another exciting collaboration came from Sirio Finance, who is bringing an AI-driven risk management model to life. By leveraging decentralized storage on FVM via Lighthouse, they’re not only enhancing security but also paving the way for innovation in Lending & Borrowing protocols. Their model can be customized to meet the specific needs of other protocols as well, making it a versatile tool in the DeFi space.

Lighthouse SDK: Part of Dynamic Hackathon Starter Kit

We’re also proud to announce that the LighthouseWeb3 SDK is now part of the Dynamic Hackathon Starter Kit. This inclusion is a huge win for us as it means more developers will have access to our tools, empowering them to build innovative projects in the decentralized space. We can’t wait to see what amazing ideas come to life using our SDK.

NFT Creation Workshop at Inha University

LongfeiW, Developer Advocate at Filecoin, recently led a workshop at Inha University in Korea, focusing on NFT creation on FVM with Lighthouse. This workshop was a great opportunity to showcase our technology to the next generation of builders and creators, and the response was overwhelmingly positive. We’re always excited to see our tech in action and being used to educate and inspire.

Supporting Forma Chain: The Future of On-Chain Creations

Last but certainly not least, Lighthouse now supports Forma chain, a cutting-edge network designed for on-chain creations. This partnership marks a significant step forward in the future of digital creation, and we’re thrilled to be a part of it. With Forma chain, creators have more flexibility and power to bring their visions to life on-chain, and we’re excited to see where this leads.

With all these exciting developments, we’re more motivated than ever to keep pushing forward. Looking forward to what September has in store for us! Stay tuned for more updates and exciting developments at Lighthouse, or get in touch with us
