Filecoin has completed a major upgrade and achieved four major project progress!

5 Line code , Can let wechat small program on the shelf to their own APP in | Register and send it to Dajiang 、 Huawei 、 Cherry keyboard ！>>>

Filecoin One of the starting goals of is to have a variety of independent protocol implementations , To help protect the network at startup .

Filecoin There are four major realizations ——Forest, from Chainsafe structure ;Fuhon from Soramitsu Development ;Venus（ Formerly known as go-filecoin）, from IPFSForce management ;Lotus（ Now the most mature implementation , It's also used by the main network ）, from protocollabs establish . V  zhang228289

 

Forest

 

Forest By ChainSafe Developed Rust Filecoin Realization . The project is currently focused on two main objectives , The main goal is synchronization and interoperability with the main network . The team aims to achieve this in phases , First of all, direct import of chain is realized , Then step by step through the network synchronization chain . As a secondary goal , The team is trying to achieve full node functionality .

The latest developments include ：

△ since 0.9.3 Version from integration miner participant change

△ Release complete storage miner implementation

△ Merge message pool changes , Including the re release of the message , Restoration and selection logic

△ Update conformance testing to discover and resolve incompatibilities

△ Complete the transfer of state manager and chain store , To identify changes since implementation

△ Set up local devnet

△ Testing and refactoring AMT The implementation of

Forest It's recently created to make sure it's different Filecoin Realization and Filecoin One of the first users of conformance testing between specifications for compatibility and correctness of test vectors . With the help of news , Multiple corpora of cue sets and chain level vectors , This helped the team take a very rapid step towards full interoperability , They also help to revise and improve .

Forest The team hopes to consolidate the storage and retrieval market in the next few weeks , And then test again go-fil-markets Interface .

 

Fuhon

 

Fuhon By Soramitsu Developed C ++ Filecoin Realization .Fuhon The team is trying to build an independent devnet, Work on the implementation of the storage miner is being completed . Up to now ,Fuhon Miners and nodes and Lotus 0.5.4 compatible . The project is also ready to implement and run conformance testing , To ensure interoperability . One particularly noteworthy change is the recent TLS Patches , This patch enables Lotus and Forest Connections between nodes .V  zhang228289

 

Venus（go-filecoin）

 

Venus Formerly known as go-filecoin, It was originally made by Protocol Labs Developed , Now it's codenamed Venus,6 It was proposed by the community maintenance staff in January . We are glad to welcome IPFSForce, He will be in charge of the project .V  zhang228289

The most immediate focus of the project is to catch up with the introduction of specifications and Lotus All changes in . The synchronous space race chain will be the first milestone to achieve this goal .

Progress to date includes ：

△ Origin analysis and import

△ Update the data structure to reflect the latest changes

△ Update the election logic （ introduce WinCount）

△ Update project dependencies （ for example DRAND, For randomness ）

△ Test code fix

Teams can be partially synchronized “ Space race ” chain , But there are still many improvements to be made , Especially in terms of performance . The goal of the new team is to work with Lotus interoperate , It's an ideal schedule .

 

Lotus

 

So far, ,Lotus Still the most mature Filecoin Realization . In recent days, ,Lotus Released v1.0.0.

before , The focus of the implementation is to prepare and test the specification participant upgrade , To create a flexible state upgrade framework , And develop Lotus-lite（ Gateway based nodes , Storage without chain , The function can be realized by remote node ） . This provides a wallet that can interact directly with miners , Without having to maintain heavyweight components , For example, synchronous chain stores . The ultimate goal of this work is to have a client that can run on the phone ！V  zhang228289

Next , The team is preparing for the upgrade . Don't stop searching , This is it. Filecoin The charm of ！
