FIDL creates tools and operational pathways that help Filecoin ecosystem allocate DataCap safely, make behavior measurable, and improve program transparency.
Our Approach: build tools and measure impact
We design and implement mechanisms to align incentives within the Filecoin ecosystem, focusing on the Filecoin Plus (Fil+) program, which aims to onboard valuable data to the network.
DataCap Allocators
FIDL operates two Allocators as well as an Experimental Metaallocator - providing simple, efficient and compliant DataCap allocation.
Commons Datasets
In Filecoin, we don't only provide Storage Network. We are the infrastructure for Humanities Information, and FIDL maintains a The Open Access Data Standard and Directory for those Datasets.
SLA Measurements
SLA Measurements are how Fil+ evolves from “storage happened” to service quality is observable. We support on-chain SLA registration, off-chain measurements and repeatable scoring that can be used in dashboards and automation.
Transparency Tools
FIDL develops tools and dashboards that provide visibility into the incentive mechanisms ensuring transparency and accountability.
Allocator Tooling
We create tools that make operations of Allocators , the Filecoin Plus (Fil+) Governance team and Root Key Holders easy and transparent.
Understanding Filecoin Plus
A system that incentivizes both data clients and storage providers to contribute meaningfully to the Filecoin ecosystem.
Filecoin Plus (Fil+)
Filecoin Plus (Fil+) is a program aimed at prioritizing the storage of data on the Filecoin network that is aligned with the network goals. Fil+ incentivises Storage Providers and Clients by providing a multiplier on BlockRewards.
DataCap
Participants in Fil+ receive DataCap, a resource that allows them to store data with additional incentives. Storage Providers that work with clients using DataCap are eligible for enhanced block rewards, ensuring that data is securely and efficiently stored.
Allocators
Allocators are designed to distribute DataCap, enabling community members with the interest, ideas, and resources to design and operate their unique mechanisms for allocating DataCap. This approach aims to address the evolving needs of the ecosystem by allowing the creation of diverse allocator pathways, thus promoting adaptability, scalability, and efficiency in data storage and access.
Would you like some DataCap?
New users can access up to 50TiBs and make deals to build their reputation. Trusted users can request more DataCap in 4 segments via Open Data or Enterprise Private pathways.
Open Data Pathway
Our allocator is providing a pathway for any open public datasets to be onboarded to Filecoin. This pathway is only for datasets that are made readily retrievable on the network and can be regularly verified (through the use of manual or automated verification that includes retrieving data from various SPs over the course of the DataCap allocation timeframe). Enterprise (private/encrypted) dataset use cases will be guided to use a different pathway. This pathway framework is based on the LDN (Large Data Notary) pathway that existed before 2024.
Enterprise Private Data Pathway
This allocator is providing a pathway for any Enterprise (private/encrypted) dataset use case. This pathway follows the lead of what was built as part of the E-Fil+ LDN pathway that existed prior to 2024. The core of the pathway includes KYC and KYB compliance checks, data sampling and SP Verification as part of data owner verification and due diligence.
Do you have an idea for another allocator?
Get in touch! We can build and run an allocator on your behalf, help you with your submission or just give you some basic guidance.
