    Storage Protocols is a focus area for the Protocol Opportunity team in Cryptonet.

    🥅 Goals

    • Research, design and implement protocols that improve the quality of storage services provided by Filecoin (eg, Perpetual Storage, Retrieval Assurance, Reputation Systems,…);
    • Research, design and implement protocols that empower other chains to use FIlecoin storage capabilities (eg, web3bounty.app);
    • (2023 new!) Research and Development focused on improving the storage onboarding experience (both for CC sectors and storage deals) and sector maintenance;
      • Prioritizing is based on Storage Providers needs and pain points.

    Hiring ❓:

    • 1 Software Senior Engineer

        • Why?/What do we need?

      1. Internal capacity to write code to test ideas;
      2. Managing work for junior engineers;
      3. What kind of code?
        • smart contract
        • FVM smart contract
    • 1 PM

        • Why?/ What do we need?

      1. Drive a project from problem statement to deployed system;
      2. Find opportunities and gather requirements; user needs gathering; be responsible for monitoring the market/ecosystem for partners/competitors;
      3. Be the point of reference for the assigned projects and main point of communication (represent project at core events and meetings);
      4. Create bird-eye views of the on-going work to understand bottlenecks and opportunities.

    Filecoin Storage Optimisations

    Prioritization effort, see:

    ↔️Storage Optimizations: Projects Overview and Dependencies

    PeSto (Persistent Storage in Filecoin) - collab with Lotus

    Key results (”how?”):

    • Define protocol gaps and develop protocol refinements to enable data use cases on Filecoin storage.

    Milestones (user roadmap, or “what when?”):

    💚 Completed Projects

    Retriev.org

    📦Retriev.org

    DRI: @Undefined

    Objective (”why?”):

    • Design and implement a protocol that makes not answering retrieval requests irrational (ie, not profitable) for the Storage Providers.

    Milestones/Planning (user roadmap, or “what when?”):

    See No access.

    Bounty Contracts (MVP only)

    No access

    DRI: @Undefined

    Objective (”why?”):

    • Increase the adoption of Filecoin by empowering other chains to store on Filecoin.

    Key results (”how?”):

    • Design and implement a smart contract that allows to access Filecoin Storage Market from EVM compatible blockchains.

    Milestones/Planning (user roadmap, or “what when?”):

    ⏯️ Paused/Superseded Projects

    D* project: Data Availability and Persistence

    🕰️Data Persistance

    DRI: @Undefined

    Objective (”why?”):

    • Increase the adoption of Filecoin targeting the specific uses cases of storing blockchain data (see CNL5).

    Key results (”how?”):

    • Design a protocol to store chain states in Filecoin;
    • Design a protocol that allows to create a DAC service via Filecoin;
    • Ship a prototype implementation for each protocol (FEVM, FVM, also ETH).

    Milestones (user roadmap, or “what when?”):

    Data Primitives

    DRI: @Undefined

    Objective (why?):

    • Increase user adoption for Filecoin (see CNL5);
    • Construct the building blocks for “Filecoin L2” applications;
    • Support automatic deal management.

    Key results (how?):

    • Deliver a modular design of the perpetual storage protocol.
    • Ship a prototype implementation for each protocol (FEVM, FVM or ETH)

    Milestones (what, when?):

    Reputation Systems

    DRI: @Undefined

    Objective (why?):

    • Audit/review work (if any is needed) for the reputation system designed and deployed by the PL teams.

    Milestones:

    Storage Metrics DAO
