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.

💼 Active Projects
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?”):
FilFil (Filecoin msgs archived in Filecoin) - collab with Lotus
Key results (”how?”):
Milestones (user roadmap, or “what when?”):
FilFil: PeSto and Filecoin Archive
💚 Completed Projects
Retriev.org
Retriev.org
DRI: @Irene
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 .
Bounty Contracts (MVP only)
DRI: @Irene
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⏯️ Paused/Superseded Projects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
DRI: @Irene
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: @Irene
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: @Luca
Objective (why?):
- Audit/review work (if any is needed) for the reputation system designed and deployed by the PL teams.
