About
Textile (creators of Tableland) have launched Basin (https://basin.textile.io), a high throughput object storage layer with S3 compatibility. We're looking for builders the have data-intensive applications (AI, ML, etc.) and need decentralized storage (built on a subnet scaling layer with onchain permissions). We're still working on Tableland (https://tableland.xyz), too, which provides an onchain SQL database and clients (SDK, CLI) to interface with it. Note: Basin is written in Rust, so knowledge of Rust is expected to build with the Basin SDK. If you don't know Rust, the Basin S3 adapter (https://github.com/textileio/basin-s3) allows you to run a background binary that any non-Rust language (Python, JavaScript, etc.) can easily interface with using any S3 library. There's a Basin CLI tool, too.Prizes

Data-intensive applications that require decentralized object storage with S3 compatibility. Examples include:
- ML pipeline that stores source dataset and subsequently labeled dataset in a bucket
- AI inference that loads a model and RAG data from a bucket
- Community-sourced datasets written with onchain rules
Qualification Requirements
- Usage of Basin (https://basin.textile.io) - Optionally, usage of Ceramic (https://ceramic.network)—e.g., store data at the edge, then write to Basin for persistence Note: Basin is written in Rust, so knowledge of Rust is expected to build with the Basin SDK. If you don't know Rust, the Basin S3 adapter (https://github.com/textileio/basin-s3) allows you to run a background binary that any non-Rust language (Python, JavaScript, etc.) can easily interface via any S3 library. There's also a Basin CLI tool.
