2. How will IPFS, Filecoin, or related technology be used for this project? (max 100 words)

This project is javascript DApp, it implements the W3 consensusless blockchain protocol with a swarm of W3 nodes within a webpage and then connected all swarms into a large testbed. Nodes pass messages through EventEmitter2 within a swarm and then through libp2p across swarms. Vue and ECharts are used for visualization. A Github CI/CD action is setup for automatically distribute the whole DApp via IPFS, and we will use the web3.storage to record/publish the testing results in the upcoming version.
