Storage & Retrieval on Filecoin Part 2
summary
Shows how to put storage deal lifecycle on chain: Filecoin Virtual Machine (FVM) smart contracts let clients or an aggregator publish proposals, pack many small files into 32 GB sectors, and record inclusion proofs (called pasta) so CID ownership is verifiable. Deals have a minimum 180‑day term; a ross node periodically queries on‑chain deal state and storage actors, then triggers replication, renew or repair by calling aggregator contracts. A minimal spec and example contracts (Filecoin Data Tools, Lighthouse) exist as prototypes — end‑to‑end flow is demonstrated but needs more policy and reliability work.
