Hello everyone! I am Kyle from Eiger. I’d like to present to you an idea to build Filecoin like native storage on Polkadot and Kusama. This is mainly inspired by the vision Gavin presented at Decoded 23 about building the Ubiquitous Supercomputer. When thinking about the app-centricity design and t…

Super excited about this initiative - been waiting on something like this for a long time, ever since the Polkadot on Filecoin explorations years ago. It’s crucial we go on this development as we are seeing something similar happening on ethereum too via ETH Storage , and simultaneously Filecoin its…

Sounds very interesting. It would also be very interesting to see how this would compare with e.g. Crust. As for a name suggestion: DotFile(s)/PolkaSpace. :upside_down_face:

Here are the main differences compared to Crust: Trusted Execution Environments are not used We want the fee token to be native DOT throughout (no CRU) Crust uses IPFS for actual storage, the parachain bridges to and offloads the storage to IPFS; on the other hand, this would be native storage pro…

Yes, your team is also working on a storage solution. From the posted design doc, I see you have spent a good deal of time thinking about the problem. We wish you the best of luck, and are very interested to see what you come up with!

Hi! Thank you for your kind words! We’ve reviewed your proposal and found it very interesting and thorough. Your support means a lot to us, and we look forward to sharing our progress with the community. Best of luck with your own endeavors!

Hello everyone, we have been busy working on this, so here’s a quick update from us. We are continuing to research and plan towards a complete implementation of PolkaDisk. This includes: fleshing out of the original milestones sketched in our grant submission. This work will feed into future prop…

Hi everyone! Since our last update we have been working on and improved our proposal, check out the latest draft on Polkassembly: [image] Implementing a public good Polkadot-native system parachain for data storage Would it be valuable to the ecosystem to have a Filecoin-like native sto…

Wow, this sounds like a great proposal. I like it and especially that it could leverage existing nodes. A slight concern would be to start a habit of adding to many features into the “polkadot core”. There are plenty of databases and datastructures and decentralized storage solutions. Starting wi…
