FIDL creates tools and pathways that help Fil+ participants boost rewards, improve transparency, and support decentralized data storage.
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 creates pathways that distribute DataCap, a resource that allows participants to store large amounts of data on the Filecoin network. This helps ensure that only high-quality and verified data is rewarded with extra incentives.
Incentive Pathways
FIDL builds multiple "allocator pathways" designed to experiment with how incentives are distributed across the network. These pathways are tested and optimized to find the best way to encourage long-term participation and positive behavior.
Transparency Tools
To ensure fairness, FIDL develops tools and dashboards that provide visibility into the incentive mechanisms. This allows participants to track their contributions, ensuring transparency and accountability within the ecosystem.
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 valuable, verified data on the Filecoin network. By verifying important data, Fil+ enhances trust and reliability, making it more attractive for decentralized storage solutions.
DataCap
Participants in Fil+ receive DataCap, a resource that allows them to store more data with additional incentives. DataCap is granted to clients who store high-value data, allowing them to access more storage and earn higher rewards. In turn, storage providers that work with verified clients using DataCap are eligible for enhanced block rewards, ensuring that valuable data is securely and efficiently stored.
Allocators
An allocator in the Fil+ program is a mechanism designed to distribute DataCap, enabling community members with the interest, ideas, and resources to design and operate their unique DataCap allocator mechanisms for various use cases. 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.
