RepliNet
A replication worker to automatically copy Filecoin deals N times across the network in accordance with the user defined policy based on number of replicas, region selection, latency, price, etc.
Project Description
This project is an attempt to create a reference architecture and a prototype of the idea outlined (here)[https://protocollabs.notion.site/Request-for-Startups-FVM-edition-8cd3e76982d14e29b33335ca458fb087#f333b12267794bfdae903d295c6db08c].
The high level idea is to
- accept an user's deal policy (ie: number of replicas, region, price, etc)
- allow the user to create the initial storage deal
- replicate the deal across the network based on the number of replicas specified
- monitor the deal to ensure the number of active deals do not fall below the number of replicas
How it's Made
This project is not integrated yet. I am currently stuck in creating the initial deal using filecoin.js. Without this I cannot make progress.
-
I have a sample smart contract written that is expected to store the mapping of the replicaID with the associated deal ID.
-
Yet to write another contract that would monitor the number of active deals.
-
Accept a small charge to replicate and monitor the deals
