# V1 or V2

[Singularity V1](https://github.com/tech-greedy/singularity) began as an initiative focused on onboarding a substantial volume of public datasets to Filecoin. Its success and efficacy transformed it into the most sought-after data onboarding tool within the Filecoin ecosystem.

As we transition into the new era, Singularity V2 emerges. While it retains the foundational strengths of V1, V2 is an entirely reimagined implementation, boasting both feature parity with V1 and the addition of groundbreaking capabilities.
