It's buzzword soup. All their projects lead to domains with vague descriptions and pictures of the team and zero substance at all.

This. Haven't seen this in the news in years. A few years ago (2022?), they got some $x00 million in investment money. They already had IPFS/IPNS at that point so it was some deep push into Filecoin. But it felt odd at the time. Bitcoin was starting to jump the shark at that point and none of the smarter cryptos had truly found a market fit either.

A few years ago they got into the AI bandwagon and stoped funding the P2P/Web3 stuff from what I remember.
