🛠 Storage & Retrieval on Filecoin Part 1
summary
Shows two concrete ways to initiate Filecoin storage from a smart contract: a direct-deal route using a client deal contract + Boost and CAR uploads (suitable for >4 GB) and an aggregator route via Filecoin Data Tools components Edge and Delta (for <4 GB, immediate retrievability). Demonstrations use Hardhat FVM starter kit, Lassie, localnet (2 KB demo sectors) and produce real on‑chain deal IDs and CAR files; network context: ~12–13 EB stored and ~3,500 storage providers.
