1. What is your project? (max 100 words)

ShastraOS is a Linux desktop workstation that prioritizes security, decentralization, and privacy. It is designed to provide both high performance and user-friendly experience, while also ensuring daily decentralized backups on Filecoin for extra safety. To enhance the efficiency of the operating system, we have established IPFS packages mirrors for software packages within ShastraOS.

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

ShastraOS utilizes IPFS to host package mirrors for software packages, allowing for fast and efficient installation of software. Filecoin is also used as a daily decentralized backup solution, providing an extra layer of security for users' data.

We are building Astra, another protocol entirely on top of Filecoin. It utilizes Filecoin's decentralized storage network to provide a secure and decentralized way to store personal backups. Astra Protocol also integrates with Deja-dup, a popular backup tool on Gnome desktops, making it easy for users to store and retrieve their backups.
