【Project Introduction】
Filecoin is a decentralized storage network that transforms cloud storage into an algorithm market .
Miners - obtain FIL by providing data storage and retrieval
Clients- allow miners to provide storage, distribution and retrieval data services by paying FIL
[Project progress: Calibration ]
(The official Gantt chart has not been updated)
test version:
- Still in the calibration stage
Test objectives:
- Network security
- Calibration network test (in operation)
- Test reward plan (August 17 Japan Week)
- Economic model parameters (current parameters do not represent the main network)
project progress:
- Calibration was reset again on Thursday, and the network is currently running smoothly
- Drand service goes online
- The big miner test start time is currently set for August 17 Japan Week
[Hot Spots of Last Week]
- At 11 o'clock in the evening on August 13, the Filecoin network was reset again. So far, the network is operating normally.
- On August 11th, Filecoin core developer @Why announced in Slack the setting of new v28 parameters, which is beneficial to Chinese miners for storage services.
- The Force District was invited to participate in many industry conferences last week. The following are the important contents of these conferences.
"Filecoin consensus's beautiful vision for Web3.0"
- In the early morning of August 12, Filecoin officially launched an online conference, which mainly mentioned some ecological applications of IPFS/Filecoin, community activities and the space race that Filecoin miners are most concerned about.
"Filecoin Online Community Conference: The Space Race is expected to start in the week of August 17"
[Progress of testnet last week]
1) After the reset on 08/08, it runs until Friday (08/14), there are more changes:
- Market part: the effectiveness of addressing is improved, the bot code is updated, hoping not to affect the success rate of miners due to the bot's own problems
- Message filtering and selection improved, more efficient
- Gas cost calculation, using EIP1559: GAS calculation is handled in two parts: basic cost and Tip
- Runs more smoothly, more changes enter
2) 08/14 restarted again, using v28 parameters, the economic model slightly changed
- Running for two days, the operation is relatively stable
- The height is close to 7000, the block reward is about 7.36FIL; the computing power reaches 6.50PiB, and there are more than 200 active miners
3) Test network operation status:

[Development progress last week]
-
- Code additions and bug fixes:
- Improve the calculation of message gas consumption, such as adding the judgment of too high setting;
- Improvement of message selection; improvement of republishing logic; permission to modify Gas price for unlinked messages
- Improve the stability of the storage market, for example, automatically join DHT
- Improved payment channel management; adopts new publishing logic
- Improve the calculation method of total circulation
- v28 parameter support
- Enhance some verification and improve security.
- Spec-actors version 0.9 released
- Design and certification update:
- The design document continues to be improved
-
-
- Updates on block synchronization
- Expected consensus refinement
-
-
- A small number of interfaces are added to the proof part; compilation and optimization are enhanced
- Code additions and bug fixes:
