Description
Vukasin (Vuk) Vukoje (Ecosystem WG) with Protocol Labs discusses engineering tooling and technological developments in the Enterprise Storage Provider Accelerator (ESPA) bootcamp week that took place in February 2022.
Data is growing at an incredible speed and much of this data is archived and/or simply lost by enterprises. Our program will accelerate net-new Enterprise Storage Providers into the ecosystem, using a Web3 protocol with an impressive incentive model called Filecoin.

A
Today,
I'm
gonna
try
to
cover
some
stuff
that
was
not
covered
so
from
what
I
could
see.
It
was
mostly
very
deep,
like
in
the
details
of
mining,
I'm
gonna
try
to
zoom
out
and
try
to
like
picture
why
it
is
like
important
generally
for
us
as
a
society,
to
work
on
decentralized
search
rather
than
gaining
the
details
of
what
specifically
do
you
need
to
do
to
actually
be
a
storage
provider,
but
myself
I
spent
most
of
the
past
four
or
five
years
in
the
blockchain
space.
A
A
So
the
big
problems
are,
of
course,
that
we
have
no
control
on
the
app
us
and
we
cannot
control
where
the
data
is
going
to
go
so
like
when
I
save
a
picture
instagram
that
is
most
likely
going
to
be
sore
on
a
couple
of
regions.
I
have
no
clue
that
my
data
is
being
moved.
I
have
no
clue
that
the
algorithms
are
being
trained
on
top
of
the
data
and
so
on.
A
An
example
of
that
could
be,
for
example,
imagining
instagram
that,
instead
of
showing
you
like
pictures
of,
I
don't
know
nice
things
that
you're
most
likely
gonna
like
and
find
like
some
squirt
ads.
That
are
gonna,
be
like
very
similar
to
that.
I
might
wanna
see
like
things
that
are
calming
me
or
things
that
are
making
me
happy
and
so
on.
A
We
definitely
don't
see
that
content
near
on
instagram
or
on
the
other
apps
like
yeah
facebook
and
the
google
only
apps,
and
the
reason
for
that
is
that
we
have
no
control
over
the
data
that
we
are
actually
storing
on
on
those
applications.
And
the
main
reason
for
that
is
that
currently,
the
only
infrastructure
that
we
know
that
is
being
used
by
big
tech
is
centralized
infrastructure.
A
So,
like
everything,
is
behind
like
some
authentication
and
then
we
go
to
some
server
that
is
owned
by
a
big
company
and
so
on,
and
most
of
the
abstractions
that
we
have
around.
Our
data
are
owned
by
those
organizations
that
we
cannot
even
imagine
like
applications
that
are
not
focused
on
just
maximizing
the
focus
that
we
spend
on
those
applications.
A
We
are
trying
to
solve
those
issues.
The
government
is
trying
to
have
some
discussions
with
the
big
tech,
but
that
doesn't
go
so
well,
because
those
companies
have
so
much
leverage
right
now,
because,
if
facebook's
says
hey
sure,
we
want
to
fix
those,
but
like
those
are
almost
impossible
for
us
to
solve
on
the
infrastructure
layer.
So
we
would
need
to
like
turn.
Facebook
off
for
entire
europe,
then
the
discussion
becomes
much
higher.
A
Every
day
we
have
some
anti-monopoly
laws
that
are
kind
of
trying
to
do
something,
but
actually,
since
we
are
basically
using
only
one
platform
for
one
thing,
we
are
all
aware
that
those
don't
work
so
well
now
in
order
to
actually
get
off
big
tech
and
get
off
like
all
the
infrastructure
that
was
built
in
a
centralized
way.
We
need
to
rebuild
the
infrastructure
from
scratch.
A
But
it's
also
important
that
we
understand
that
currently,
developers
that
are
building
apps
have
no
choice
than
to
go
to
cloud
providers.
You
don't
have
a
choice
today
if
you
want
to
build
an
app
most
likely
you're
going
to
use
like
either
a
firebase
or
you're
going
to
use
some
other
development
tool
that,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
is
backed
by
some
big
cloud
provider
and
at
the
end,
that
data
is
going
to
be
stored
on
some
like
data
center.
A
A
So,
instead
of
looking
at
the
urls,
where
that
are
basically
saying
like
what
the
location
of
a
particular
file
is,
we
want
to
start
looking
at
the
content
and
when
we
start
doing
that,
then
we
unlock
like
the
possibility
for
us
to
get
off
those
those
platforms
that
are
basically
just
locking
our
data.
In
the
reason
for
that
is
because,
if
I'm
looking
at
the
content,
I
don't
anymore
need
to
like
address
a
server
that
is
owned
by
a
big
organization.
A
Yeah
other
than
that,
there
are
very
few
very
important,
like
distinct
things
that
we
can
distinguish
between,
like
big
tech
and
what
we're
trying
to
achieve
with
the
blockchain.
First
of
all,
as
I
mentioned,
the
content
addressing,
but
secondly,
we
are
trying
to
build
the
ecosystem
here,
and
you
can
see
from
protocol
labs
that
we
are
trying
to
help
as
much
as
possible
to
build
an
ecosystem.
We
are
not
trying
to
build
things
that
we
want
to
have
the
community
build.
A
A
We
just
wanted
to
have
a
way
for
us
to
have
an
impact
in
the
nfd
space
and
in
fact
that
team
is
already
spinning
off
protocol
apps.
So
that's
not
protocol
labs
anymore.
That's
going
to
be
a
team
that
is
independent
that
can
hire
whoever
they
want
and
can
have
a
completely
independent
budgets
from
protocol
labs
and
also
so
strategy
and
so
on,
and
the
most
important
one
is
that
we
want
to
have
that
common
infrastructure
rather
than
infrastructure
that
is
owned
by
legal
entities.
So
the
falcon
infrastructure
is
not
owned
by
anyone.
A
Everyone
has
small
pieces,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,
since
you're
addressing
content
by
the
content
hash,
that
content
is
not
owned
by
anyone,
many
nodes
of
the
network
will
be
able
to
actually
give
you
back
that
content.
So,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
if
I
as
a
user,
if
I'm
trying
to
get
to
a
content
that
I
own,
I'm
gonna
get
that
content
back
without
having
to
ask
any
legal
entity
for
that,
nor
having
my
data
a
lot
behind
some
big
company
so
yeah.
A
In
order
to
solve
those,
we
have
several
segments
that
that
we
need
to
like
cover.
First
of
all,
we
want
to
have
like
the
retrieval
networks,
so
when
you're
storing
something
on
falcon,
it's
going
to
be
on
falcon,
but
that
is
not
going
to
be
retrieved
right
away.
So,
most
of
the
time,
if
you're
trying
to
access
their
that
distorted
falcon,
that
there
is
going
to
be
coming
from
ipfs
and
there
are
ways
in
how
we
are
like
caching,
things
on
ipfs,
rather
than
directly
pulling
them
from
icon.
A
Although
how
you're
interacting
with
nft
to
storage,
is
a
bit
different.
Your
focus
on
that
particular
file
that
you
want
to
add,
rather
than
having
a
javascript
library
that
is
adding
those
you
are
interacting,
either
through
a
api
or
you're
interacting
through
a
ui
that
that
you're,
using
as
an
artist,
for
example,
if
we
zoom
out
a
bit.
A
What
is
happening
here
is
that
we
have
like
those
storage
helpers
or
like
storage,
steel
orchestrators
that
are
actually
the
ones
in
charge
of
making
the
storage
stills
on
the
palco
network,
and
they
are
both
pinning
data
on
ipfs,
but
they
are
also
doing
the
orchestration.
Now.
Those
orchestrator
have
like
a
list
of
minors
that
are
reputable
that
are
good
manners.
A
Your
objective
should
be
to
get
on
those
lists,
because
that
will
mean
that
you're
gonna
get
more
traction,
because
those
folks
will
be
like
sending
more
verified
storage
details
to
you
yeah
and
now
a
bit
more
about
tools
for
search
providers.
This
is
specifically
something
that
I'm
working
hands-on
with
the
team
that
I'm
incubating
at
protocol
labs.
A
The
first
tool
that
we
built
is
filgram,
which
is
basically
explorer
for
storage
providers.
So
you
have
like
all
the
search
providers
in
the
falcon
ecosystem
that
are
listed
here,
and
those
storage
providers
can
redeem
the
manners
that
they
they
own
and
attach
them
to
the
search
profile
that
they
have.
Let
me,
let
me
just
show
you
in
a
bit.
A
A
Yeah,
so
basically
what
I'm
gonna
do
is
I'm
gonna
go
to
my
dashboard
and
I
can
see
that
I
have
two
search
providers
attached
with
the
my
keys
that
I
have
attached
here.
So
I
have
multiple
keys
that
I
have
added
and
I
have
multiple
storage
providers.
So
what
I
want
to
do
is
I
wanna,
for
example,
change
change
and
maybe
the
copy
on
the
storage
provider.
A
A
And
you
can
see
that
some
information
is
available
here
for
people
to
see,
but
also
a
url
to
define.
My
landing
page
is
also
available
here.
The
next
thing
that
that
I'm
gonna
show
you
is
like
the
storage
deals
that
are
being
made
by
particular
storage
clients
with
storage
miners.
Let
me
actually
get
one
that
has
a
bunch
of
storage
deals.
A
Is
my
someone
from
the
room
as
it's
from
the
us.
You
can
see
that
this
particular
manner
is
not
attached
to
a
storage
provider
so
that
storage
provider
should
claim
this
miner.
But
you
can
also
see
that
this
miner
received
verified
storage
deal
and
that
is
mostly
receiving
verified
storage
skills
in
the
past
day
or
so
as
well.
You
can
see
that
this
search
provider
is
asking
for
0.0004
fill
for
non-verified
storage
skills,
so
these
are
non-verified
storages.
A
A
A
That
is
basically
one
tenth
of
what
you
what
you
wanna
use
for
mining
and
we
would
be
giving
you
a
lot
of
allowance
that
you
can
use.
The
important
piece
is
that
you're
not
owning
fill
ever
the
field
is
owned
by
people
that
are
staking
in
that
liquidity
pool
you're
just
using
that
that
leverage
and
you're
mining
it
and
you're
receiving
block
rewards
every
24
hours.
A
It's
also
important
to
note
that
you're
not
being
vested
in
that
case
you're
receiving
the
entire
reward
that
your
minor
made
for
the
past
24
hours,
which
is
different
from
what
the
current
situation
is
on
the
falcon
network,
because
when
you
mine
a
block
you're
wasted
for
six
months.
So
basically
you
need
to
wait
six
months
until
you
get
like
the
entire
reward.
A
Those
two
are
pretty
separate
right
now,
like
those
are
different
networks
with
different
tokens
with
very
little
ways
of
interacting,
and
if
I
were
to
compute
something
on
on
live
pr
in
this
case.
What
I
would
need
to
do
is
I
would
need
to
like
most
likely
retrieve
data
from
s3,
and
would
that
be
a
lot
of
fees
for
retrieving
the
data?
A
Then
I
would
need
to
do
some
computing
on
the
node
of
lipiier
and
then
I
would
need
to
be
taking
that
data
and
sending
it
back
somewhere,
most
likely
s3
again,
so
most
of
most
of
the
fees
are
mainly
going
to
the
cloud
providers
in
that
case
because,
like
the
miners
of
the
live
peer
protocol
are
subsidized
and
here
they're
also
getting
rewards,
but
the
fees
for
the
cloud
provider
cannot
be
subsidized.
Those
are
paid
by
the
users
so
like
the
value
prop
of
live
peer.
A
In
that
case
you
and
then
the
output
should
be
stored
on
the
same
node
again,
which
is
through
asteroid
to
falcon
and
ipfs
again
and
at
the
end
of
the
day.
That's
all
going
to
be
running
in
the
same
local
network,
which
is
the
most
interesting
part,
because
we
are
not
anymore
going
out
to
the
internet
and
spending
a
bunch
of
bandwidth
that
we're
paying
for.
Instead,
all
the
computation
is
happening
on
the
local
network.
A
But
how
does
that
specifically
look
like
in
the
data
center?
So
we
can
imagine
a
data
center
with
and
hosts
and
we
can
imagine
the
falcon
storage
network
running
on
each
of
those
those
hosts.
But
realistically
it's
not
gonna
be
the
falcon
storage.
It's
also
gonna
be
falcon
ceiling,
so
you
could
imagine
like
the
triangle
being
ceiling
and
maybe
like
the
circle
being
approved,
while
the
rest
is
storage,
for
example.
A
Now
we
also
want
to
have
like
those
computing
networks
on
some
of
the
costs,
and
we
want
to
also
have
estuary
on
some
of
the
surge
nodes,
because
the
data
from
the
computing
nodes
needs
to
be
somehow
written
to
those.
So
all
of
that
would
need
to
be
happening.
The
data
center,
and
you
would
need
to
be
like
somehow
running
that
on
your
infrastructure,
so
we
are
trying
to
get
closer
to
that.
A
The
first,
of
course,
important
piece
is
to
have
you
guys
more
exposed
to,
like
other
folks
like
render
ipr
and
the
other
networks
and
give
you
an
opportunity
to
tinker
with
those
networks,
but
in
the
future
we'll
be
working
more
on
actually
connecting
those
and
making
products
that
actually
help
your
guests
are
without
having
to
worry
about
those
specific
networks,
so
yeah.
I
think
with
that,
I'm
slowly
wrapping
up
now.
A
Of
course,
we
need
to
put
some
effort
in
because
there
is
a
lot
of
friction
on
the
other
side,
which
is
big
tech
companies
pouring
money
into
like
development
tools
that
make
the
development
experience
much
easier
if
you're
building
centralized
apps.
Secondly,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
leverage
the
current
infrastructure
that
we
have
the
best
we
can
so
fiber
in
general
is
very
expensive,
especially
fiber,
that
is
going
out
of
the
data
center.
A
We
are
going
to
get
to
a
point
where
we
at
least
have
a
chance
of
solving
some
of
the
most
challenging
problems
that
we
have
like
cancer,
research,
dna
precision,
medicine
and
stuff,
like
that.
Those
are
not
possible.
Today.
If
you
were
to
store
like
your
dna
on
a
cloud
provider
that
would
probably
cost
you
like
more
than
your
earning.
A
And
finally,
we
also
have
the
chance
to
rethink
the
economic
models
that
we
currently
have.
So,
instead
of
thinking
about
paying
for
the
services
with
our
attention
like
instagram
and
facebook,
we
could
start
thinking
about
being
paid
for
actually
generating
the
data
and
providing
the
data
to
that
service,
which
is
possible
with
the
current
system
that
we're
building
with
falcon.
Because
you
could
imagine
at
some
point
verified
deals
not
being
readily
available
for
storage
providers.
