Academic research is fragmented across journals/servers which disappear with time, paywall & fragment discussions on the research. Content Addressing allows to create a single link to a given paper & ensure that everyone reads/discusses the same paper–making all find-able.

While we have shipped an initial version of the IPFS explorer and visualiser, we want to expand this work and improve search. For example, we want people to be able to search for, say Vitalik.eth and be able to query all the files or data that Vitalik has certified with his keys (like any Mirror post, Lens post, Farcaster post, etc).
