Interplanetary Consensus (IPC) is a framework that enables on-demand horizontal scalability of networks, by deploying ""subnets"" running different consensus algorithms depending on the application's requirements.  IPC is a scaling solution intentionally designed to achieve considerable performance, decentralization and security for dApps.
It achieves scaling through the permission-less spawning of new blockchain sub-systems, which are composed of ""subnets"". 

Subnets are organized in a hierarchy, with one parent subnet being able to spawn infinite child subnets. Within a hierarchical subsystem, subnets can seamlessly communicate with each other, reducing the need for cross-chain bridges.

Subnets also have their own specific consensus algorithms, whilst leveraging security features from parent subnets. This allows dApps to use subnets for hosting sets of applications or to shard a single application, according to its various cost or performance needs.

The goal of the FVM project is to add general programmability to the Filecoin blockchain. Doing so will give developers all kinds of creative options, including:
Orchestrating storage.
Creating L2 networks on top of the Filecoin blockchain.
Providing new incentive structures for providers and users.
Frequently verifying that providers are storing data correctly.
Automatically finding which storage providers are storing what data.
Many more data-based applications.

Filecoin was the first network deploying programmability, post-genesis, to ensure that layer 0 of the Filecoin blockchain was stable and fully functional. Due to the large amounts of capital already secured within the Filecoin network, the development of the FVM needs to be careful and gradual.
