Filecoin Virtual Machine

fvm.filecoin.io

The Filecoin Virtual Machine (FVM) is a smart contract platform built on the Filecoin network, enabling developers to deploy decentralized applications and services. It provides a runtime environment for programmable storage, compute over data, and Layer 2 capabilities. FVM supports various use cases like DataDAOs, perpetual storage, and DeFi lending protocols, fostering a community of builders through developer tools, documentation, and accelerator programs.

Vision and Mission Framework

Rationale

The Filecoin Virtual Machine (FVM) is a runtime environment for smart contracts on the Filecoin network, enabling user programmability and unlocking an open data economy. It acts as a platform for developers to build and deploy decentralized applications (dApps) and new services, aligning with the 'Bleeding-Edge Project Incubator' and 'Rapid Prototype Development' features. The FVM fosters an 'Open Contributor Network' by inviting developers to build on its platform, providing developer resources, documentation ('Blueprint Repository'), and supporting hackathons and accelerator programs ('Pitch and Funding Calls'). The roadmap and news sections demonstrate 'Strategic Roadmap Publishing' and 'Communication and Outreach Channels'. While it facilitates funding mechanisms for projects built on it, it is not a direct 'Community-Driven Funding Platform' for the FVM itself in the same way Mad Bastard Labs is described.
