RULES: In order to be eligible for the Filecoin+ incentive program, which provides 10x the power (QAP) for storing data on the Filecoin network, there are certain rules that must be followed:
- Data must be stored with multiple independent service providers, not just one organization running multiple SPs.
- Data must be distributed across multiple regions. Using a VPN to fake presence is not allowed.
- Data must be publicly retrievable for verification that it is being stored as claimed. It is highly recommended to run boost.
- Data must align with the mission of FIL+, meaning it must be valuable for humanity, whether scientific or unique in some other way.
- Data must be open and not encrypted. If you wish to encrypt your data, consider applying for the FIL-E program instead.
Note: As a data preparer, you are allowed to store one copy yourself for redundancy at the request of the client. However, if your copy is stored in the USA, the other organizations/SPs must be outside your region. Dcent encourages applications with a minimum spread of 2 continents and 3 different organizations.
