FIL-B: New Catalyst for On-Chain Projects on Filecoin (FIL)

FIL-B, a new public goods developer experience (DX) team, has been introduced to support builders on the Filecoin (FIL) decentralized storage network, according to Filecoin.

Empowering Builders

FIL-B aims to help developers succeed in building on-chain solutions on Filecoin’s decentralized storage network. The team offers comprehensive documentation, tutorials, and tooling familiar to developers to simplify the process of starting new projects. They have also contributed significantly to the Filecoin documentation and initiated the FIL-Builders repository for user-friendly starter kits, such as the On-chain Payment dApp kit.

Technical Guidance and Feedback

FIL-B provides technical guidance to unblock builders, offering solutions and connecting them with the right technical experts. As projects mature, FIL-B collaborates closely with teams to offer deeper technical support. The team works on a public board of identified DX challenges and actively collaborates with Filecoin development teams to address these issues.

Stewardship of Filecoin Ethereum Virtual Machine (FEVM)

FIL-B acts as a steward for the Filecoin Ethereum Virtual Machine (FEVM), ensuring seamless EVM compatibility. The team collaborates with Lotus maintainers, ETH RPC providers on Filecoin, and third-party integrations to optimize the developer experience. Recently, FIL-B launched an ETH RPC benchmarking tool to help builders monitor ETH RPC methods.

Community Growth

FIL-B is committed to growing the Filecoin builder community, fostering meaningful connections among developers. The team engages with the community through the @FILBuilders Twitter account, the Filecoin Discord, and other platforms to provide updates and highlight builder projects. FIL-B also partners with the Filecoin Foundation and other organizations to organize developer programs and events, such as the Fil Dev Summit and Filecoin Orbit.

Background and Expertise

FIL-B was spun out of former Developer Experience teams from Protocol Labs, the R&D lab that launched Filecoin. The team brings deep expertise and community connections to FIL-B and is part of the public goods layer of the Protocol Labs Network.
