Notes from the discussion we had in Madeira

Protocol side: Why we need to simplify the protocol

• Make it more programmable for FVM
• Simplify the storage market and make it composable
• Support exponential network growth

Side goal/quest: @Nicola we will also need to change the way how do we make deals and design the new storage market and give people on the outside a way to define their own storage market.

FVM side:

• How do we can get good APIs for programmers

What needs to be simplified?

there are 2 stages how we can do this simplification process:

1. Stage1 - Separate the storage market and Fil + - goal here is to the abstract storage market where we will define the API that won’t change
2. Stage2 -

The overall goal for the implementation is to have the modularity of the components as we build and simplify.

Containers idea:

• The ideal state we want to have separate storage and miner actors

We will have the containers

We should also have the ability to add/receive data to sectors
