Forest is ChainSafe’s Rust implementation of the Filecoin protocol. Rust provides a foundation for building blockchains with memory, safety and performance as a priority. Learn the latest and stay for a Chainsafe developer Eric Tu's announcement of an alpha release.
A
Hello,
hey
guys,
yeah
well,
first
of
all,
thank
you
for
having
me
here
in
this
file
coins
orbit
day
on
the
anniversary,
quite
a
big
achievement
for
for
all
of
us
in
the
web3
space
today,
I'm
representing
chainsafe
and
specifically
forest,
which
is
another
client
in
the
filecoin
network.
A
So
here
we
go
so
just
a
little
bit
about
chainsafe
systems
who
we
are.
We
are
a
blockchain
rnd
firm.
With
a
multi-chain
perspective.
We
have
built
various
clients
for
various
ecosystems
in
the
web3
space,
which
includes
load
star
for
ethereum
and
gaussian
for
polkadot.
If
for
cosmos
and
my
personal
favorite
file
coin
file
coins
forest,
we
love
the
blockchain
space
and
are
always
super
excited
to
work
with
infrastructure
projects
that
are
shaping
the
future
of
web3.
As
we
know
it.
A
Let's
see
okay,
there
we
go
a
little
bit
about
me,
so
I
started
in
the
crypto
space
a
couple
of
years
ago,
back
in
2017,
where
I
worked
as
an
eth
developer
and
built
a
lot
of
that
and
icos
at
that
time.
A
I
also
got
a
chance
to
make
a
small
contribution
to
the
atm
network
during
that
time
through
an
eip
which
is
1973.
Scalable
rewards,
after
that
I
job
became
a
developer
for
decentralized
articles
like
chain
link.
Workaround
worked
around
the
decentralized
oracle
space
and
worked
on
a
lot
of
various
d5
projects
that
managed
over
40
million
in
liquidity,
and
as
of
this
year,
I
joined
same
safe
as
a
technical
project
manager
for
forest.
A
So
what's
the
bigger
vision
for
forest,
I
guess
this
is
very
exciting
for
us,
especially
this
week,
because
we
have
done
our
first
initial
alpha
launch
as
of
today,
so,
which
is
very
exciting
for
change
dave
as
well
as
the
falcon
network.
So
forest
is
an
implementation
of
the
file
coin,
written
in
rust.
So
as
as
of
the
current
state
of
ecosystem.
A
Today,
in
2021,
we
can
see
that
there
are
a
lot
of
rough
projects
that
are
built
in
various
ecosystems
like
daw
solana,
raspberry,
substrate
and
rust
is
becoming
one
of
the
most
important
languages
that
has
been
used
in
the
crypto
space
as
a
whole.
So
we
aim
to
provide
a
first-class
language
binding
to
the
file
coin,
data
structures
and
related
apis
in
rough.
A
So
that's
our
bigger
vision
as
forest
and
how
we're
going
to
contribute
to
the
filecoin
ecosystem,
the
implementation
we
have
like
a
two-part
approach
and
the
first
part
has
been
the
initial
alpha
release
where
we
are
launching
our
mvp,
where
it
has
all
the
robust
or,
I
would
say,
more,
the
critical
components
that
you
need
to
for
for
a
note
to
run
that
that
goes
with
the
filecoin
protocol
specifications
specifically
to
vm
the
virtual
machine.
A
Blockchain
node
system,
mempool
state
cli
commands
the
second
component,
which
will
be
more
geared
towards
the
next
release,
or
the
beta
release
is
integrating
the
functional
components
for
storage
mining
and
retrieval
markets
to
have
a
very
robust,
fully
functional
falcon
node
implementation.
A
So
for
the
mvp
that
we
have
this
week,
that's
for
the
alpha
release.
So
what
does
it
entail?
So
we
have
a
file
state
resynchronization.
A
So
it's
in
sync,
with
the
latest
chain
of
the
filecoin
mainnet
network,
with
an
ergonomic
message,
pooling
system,
we
have
a
json
rpc
server,
which
follows
the
lotus
implementation
very
closely,
so
that
users
who
are
already
using
lotus
have
a
very
good,
have
a
smoother
transition
if
they
want
to
try
out
forest,
as
we
are
also
building
in
rust,
so
we
have
blazing
fast
cli
commands
and
where,
where
you
know,
even
if
the
network
is
really
heavy
or
are
congested,
you
will
be
able
to
see
your
balance
very
quickly
and
a
ui
dashboard,
where
you
can
see
the
current
state
of
the
node,
the
blocks
that
are
being
synced
more
and
all
the
data
that
are
in
the
filecoin
network
through
a
through
a
very
user-friendly
dashboard.
A
So,
as
we
are
near
our
launch,
we
would
really
ask
help
from
the
community
to
join
our
discord
channel.
There's
a
github
repo
on
chainsafe,
that's
open
source.
Please
download
run
test
it.
A
Let
us
know
your
feedback
if
any
other
features
that
you
want
to
be
included
in
forest,
there's
an
article
on
our
release
today
from
from
our
medium
blog
post,
where
we
talk
about
the
critical
milestones
that
we
have
crossed
all
the
fors
that
we
have
fixed
from
our
recent
audit,
really
looking
feedback
from
the
community
here
and
also
we're
looking
to
interview,
dev
developers,
miners
filecoin
users
or
any
startups
that
are
in
the
ecosystem,
building
on
top
of
file
corner
how
we
can
help
contribute
or
help
them
build
better
use
cases
for
forest.
A
So
that
will
be
all
for
forest
happy
to
take
any
questions
if
there
and
feel
free
to
contact
us
if
you
want
to
know
more
about
chainsafe
or
forest
and
how
how
we
are
contributing
to
the
final
coins
trust
ecosystem.
Thank
you.
