Update (12th dec 2022): see FilFil: PeSto and Filecoin Archive
🧐 Problem
- Filecoin already provides native deals (providers have hardware for this) to store and retrieve any kind of data;
- However, using the native deals for some kinds of data and applications may have some limitations. For example, storing blockchain data as transactions using current deal functionality is not efficient(see Filecoin as Data Availability Layer).
- In this project, first we want to survey and do requirements gathering for the following data solutions:
- user-data storage
- data availability (ie, storing transactions)
- data persistance (ie, store blockchain state)
- data retrievability (ie, store old blocks)
And then, we want to create the tools that makes using Filecoin to store and retrieve blockchain data easy and efficient.
🎯For example, one key result for this project will be a protocol that allows to store a blockchain state (eg, the Filecoin state) in Filecoin (ie, solve the data persistance problem with Filecoin)
