Filecoin News 33

Introducing the Filecoin Energy Dashboard

There’s been a lot of talk around the environmental impact of Proof-of-Work blockchains and too little about the important solutions Web3 can bring to the table. Filecoin Green is excited to launch an open-source dashboard that tracks the energy consumption of its storage providers. The tool gives them, and potentially miners from other networks, a decentralized way to purchase Renewable Energy Certificates and store them in Filrep.

The project was developed as a collaboration between Protocol Labs and fellow Crypto Climate Accord co-signer Energy Web Zero in an effort to make the network carbon neutral, and in the future, net carbon negative. As

an open-source tool, it could easily be extended to Bitcoin miners and help ward off some of the heavy criticism the network has received over its energy consumption.

Now launching: the Filecoin Community Roadmap

The Filecoin community roadmap will be a publicly managed tool that is updated on a quarterly basis. The purpose is to provide a simple, accessible, and reliable product for understanding what’s being worked on, by whom, and when it will be made available. Project contributions are now being accepted through the end of December.

Announcing the winners of the 2021 Filecoin Auction Challenge with Textile

For the Filecoin network’s one-year anniversary, the community decided to test the throughput of storage providers over a two-week period and the results were astounding. 90 TiB were stored during the Auction Challenge with the help of 25 storage providers. The top contributors were:

f01208862: 9,500 GiB

f022142: 6,900 GiB

f010088: 2,400 GiB

SnapDeals External Audit Complete

The Filecoin network recently announced SnapDeals, a new extension to the protocol that will unlock 99% of the network’s 12 EiB capacity for data storage that currently stands in Committed Capacity sectors. SnapDeals are a lightweight way of updating these sectors with client data as opposed to the high-latency process required in the current implementation. An external audit for SnapDeals was recently conducted ahead of a Q1 2022 launch.
