A hefty chunk of the internet’s links are already broken. This ‘link rot’ has impacts beyond preventing access to a news article or video, says Filecoin Foundation President Marta Belcher.

Filecoin has hit upon a solution: what if, in return for #cryptocurrency remuneration, data centres across the world connected their spare hard drive space to store data via #blockchain technology?

Marta was a guest on the World Economic Forum’s Meet the Leader podcast. Watch the full video podcast episode here: https://ow.ly/6MpJ50XsVQ6
