# April IPFS Community Meetup

The IPFS April Meetup was yesterday, Tuesday, April 27th and it was all about NFTs! In case you missed it, catch up on all things IPFS and non-fungibles, hosted by Molly Mackinlay, IPFS project lead. Featuring presentations from:

  • Yusef Napora, Protocol Labs software engineer, covering NFT x IPFS best practices, and introducing Minty and nft.storage.
  • Ariel Klevecz, creator of Yaytso, covering “NFT Hacking in the Eggverse” – an introduction to algorithmically personalized 3D eggs.
  • The creators of nft.base, a DAO-based metaverse marketplace and community for NFTs, a project initiated during NFTHack.

# Using IPFS to help with Scaling Ethereum, now through 5/13

Hacking for Scaling Ethereum is ongoing through May 13! As the Ethereum community looks to enter the sixth year of collaborating on the world’s most actively used blockchain, many builders eagerly anticipate the next phase of Eth2. Both the IPFS and Filecoin projects will be showing their support for the Ethereum community during the event. Protocol Labs has four prize options for teams focused on NFT metadata stored on IPFS, Filecoin retrieval, IPFS CIDs, or disputing Window PoST proofs in Filecoin.
