# Leto Update: Oct 24

## **🌐** Filecoin Vegas

The Leto team attended the [Filecoin Las Vegas](https://fil-vegas.io/) conference and the Piknik Enterprise Storage Provider Accelerator (ESPA) Program this month. Connecting with ecosystem storage providers/operators was crucial for better understanding how to onboard more data and enhance its protection and management within the network.

A huge thanks to ESPA and the Filecoin Foundation for an outstanding event!

## **🚅 Gateway Racing**

To use Leto, simply serve content to end users with the [Leto IPFS gateway](https://letodev.gitbook.io/getting-started/documentation/ipfs-gateway-api). The gateway will collect analytics on your webpage or other IPFS content.

To provide resilience and high performance, the Leto gateway redirects requests to the [w3link](https://github.com/web3-storage/w3link), [dweb.link](https://ipfs.github.io/public-gateway-checker/), and [ipfs.io](http://ipfs.io) gateways. This is called gateway racing. IPFS data is cryptographically verified, so Leto can ask many different IPFS gateways for the same content.

Thank you to our friends at [Web3.storage](http://Web3.storage) for help with this!

View the analytics in the [Leto dashboard](https://leto.gg/) or with the Leto [Analytics API](https://letodev.gitbook.io/getting-started/documentation/analytics-rest-api). The data is anonymized and aggregated by IPFS CID to ensure end-user privacy.

[Leto IPFS gateway](https://letodev.gitbook.io/getting-started/documentation/ipfs-gateway-api) address:

```plaintext
‘https://leto.gg/ipfs/{yourcid}’
```

## **⚒️** Bring your IPFS gateway!

In many cases, developers use a dedicated gateway from a hosting provider to serve IPFS content. Leto makes it easy to bring your gateway with you to collect analytics!

With the Leto, devs can [login](https://leto.gg/) and input a gateway link from another provider (Lighthouse.storage, Spheron, Filebase, Pinata, and more). Leto will provide a link for a new gateway built on top of your original gateway. Use this [Leto IPFS gateway](https://letodev.gitbook.io/getting-started/documentation/ipfs-gateway-api) to serve content to end users.

## **🎭** Identifying malware on IPFS

Platforms and developers in the IPFS world struggle with malicious users hosting malware on their systems. To solve this problem, our lead developer, Logan made a tool to automate the identification of malware on IPFS content.

Input a list of IPFS CIDs into the [Large Field Data Analyzer](https://letoanalyzer.com) and receive a malware status report. Find the project [here](https://github.com/noryev/LargeFieldDataAnalyzer) on Github! This tool was inspired by the [IPFS object analyzer](https://github.com/noryev/ipfsObjectAnalyzer).
