VulcanizeDB overview for Filecoin

​Vulcanize DB is a set of tools that was originally designed to make it easier for developers to write application-specific indexes and caches for dapps built on Ethereum.

​It uses IPFS and specialized IPLD structures to store and query Ethereum state, trustlessly. By using IPFS, it can also share the data collected between different nodes, instead of everyone having to start from scratch.

​It has some interesting features, like implementing a blockstore in Postgres, making IPFS/IPLD data more easily queryable.

​Ian Norden, lead dev on VulcanizeDB, and Rick Dudley, founder of Vulcanize, will present an overview of its components and how it works, and how it might be expanded to store Filecoin state.
