Meet the Spiciest Winners from the AI Blueprints Hackathon!

We recently partnered with Encode Club & the Filecoin community to participate in the AI Blueprints Hackathon, tackling the challenge to build the next generation of AI applications powered by real decentralized storage. The results? Five red-hot projects that each walked away with $1,000 — and we’re here to showcase them!

We had two spicy bounty tracks:

1. Spicy AI Collaboration with Storacha Data Storage
2. Hot AI Integrations, Hotter Storage

Let’s dive into the winners!

🌶️ Spicy AI Collaboration with Storacha Data Storage

1. DappaDiary — Your Own Onchain Research Notebook (and Podcast!), By Dappa Dan

Think Google’s Notebook LM, but fully decentralized and private. DappaDiary lets you upload documents, research with an AI assistant powered by Storacha, and even generate a podcast script and audio from your notes.

👉 Say goodbye to sharing your secrets with Big Tech — DappaDiary keeps it all yours.

2. ChatCha — A Multi-Agent AI with Decentralized Brains, By Akash Mundari

ChatCha is a decentralized agent platform where specialized AI agents answer your questions using real-time web search and academic research — then store everything with Storacha.

👉 It’s like ChatGPT, but smarter, decentralized, and 100% yours.

🔥 Hot AI Integrations, Hotter Storage

1. MCP-IPFS — A Swiss Army Knife for Storacha Spaces, By Alex Bakers

MCP-IPFS is a powerhouse server that wraps the w3 CLI and makes it easy for MCP-compatible clients to manage Storacha storage — upload, download, delegate, bill, and more!

👉 If you want to flex decentralized storage like a boss, MCP-IPFS is your backstage pass.

2. LangChain Storacha Tool — File Uploads and Thought Chains Made Easy, By Quiet Uc

A clean, powerful LangChain tool to let agents store and retrieve files on Storacha — with a sleek chat-style interface and smart previews.

👉 Decentralized file storage inside your LangChain app? It’s just a pnpm dev away.

3. IPFS / libp2p Huggingface Bridge — Storage Stack Reinvented, By Benjamin Barber

What happens when you give Filecoin, IPFS, libp2p, Storacha, and Huggingface their own adaptive storage server?
You get a memory-disk-IPFS-cluster-Filecoin-Storacha monster that does intelligent prefetching, ARC caching, and dynamic storage across tiers.

👉 Basically: If NASA needed decentralized AI storage, they’d use this.
