What Was Filecoin Sanctuary Davos 2024?
Filecoin Sanctuary Davos 2024 was a Filecoin Foundation event held in Davos, Switzerland, from 15 to 18 January 2024, timed to coincide with the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting. Focused on decentralised storage, data sovereignty, and the infrastructure powering the open Web3, it gathered Filecoin network participants, Web3 storage developers, institutional stakeholders, and policymakers to explore how decentralised data storage fits into the global digital economy. The official page sat on the Filecoin Sanctuary site. Its sharp focus on decentralised storage distinguished it from the broader Web3 hub events running concurrently in Davos.
Filecoin represents one of the most ambitious real-world applications of blockchain: decentralised storage at scale. To follow similar events, check the crypto events calendar and our Web3 tech events list.
Key Themes at Filecoin Sanctuary
The agenda centred on decentralised storage and data:
- Decentralised storage infrastructure and Filecoin network.
- Data sovereignty and open data principles.
- AI and data markets on decentralised infrastructure.
- Policy and governance of digital data at the global level.
Storage infrastructure and data governance drew policymakers alongside builders. Many guests also tracked broader blockchain events through CoinGabbar.
How Crypto Infrastructure Is Growing in Switzerland
Switzerland is an ideal host for an event that takes seriously the governance of global digital infrastructure. The country's financial regulator FINMA is among the world's most crypto-friendly, and the DLT Act gives blockchain applications a clear legal footing. The Ethereum Foundation and hundreds of blockchain firms, including Protocol Labs which created Filecoin, are embedded in Switzerland's famous Crypto Valley in Zug.
Davos during WEF week attracts the precise audience that Filecoin's mission addresses: policymakers thinking about data governance, AI, and the digital economy at a global scale. Decentralised storage is not just a crypto use case — it is an infrastructure question for everything from scientific data preservation to climate records to national archives. Switzerland's neutrality, legal certainty, and the Crypto Valley ecosystem make it a natural base for a foundation making that argument to global leaders.

It builds the network of institutions and developers using Filecoin. And it advances the case for open, censorship-resistant data infrastructure at the highest level. Each edition strengthens the ecosystem.
