Project Summary

The deployment and management of web3 infrastructure is very complex, manually intensive and error-prone putting the Blockchain network and user experience at risk. The lack of expertise, high learning curve and lack of standardization for web3 DevOps is one of the major hindrances to the widespread adoption of a Blockchain protocol.

The project aims to provide a no code approach to setup, deploy and manage filecoin nodes, which will support Lotus as a full featured client for Filecoin network. The platform will further extend the capability to provide elastic RPC endpoints to the filecoin network for developers around the world to build on filecoin without having a need to manually setup nodes.

Impact

Deploying and managing Filecoin nodes can be a challenging task that requires technical expertise and continuous monitoring. Some of the key pain points include lack of expertise, security and performance optimization, compliance complexities, node management and health monitoring, and API setup delays.

Zeeve's one-click deployment, no-code platform, proactive monitoring, and automated updates, upgrades and patching can help address these concerns. Additionally, Zeeve is compliant with industry standards such as SOC2 Type2, ISO 27001, and GDPR. Overall, Zeeve can reduce setup time, improve security and compliance, and simplify node management and monitoring for Filecoin participants.

Outcomes

  1. Filecoin Validators would be able to deploy Filecoin validator nodes in seconds with military-grade security & high availability.

  2. Filecoin Developers can deploy Filecoin full and archive nodes in seconds.

  3. Filecoin DApp developers can consume secure RPC endpoints to connect with the Filecoin protocol.

  4. Get new developers to join the Filecoin developer community.

Adoption, Reach, and Growth Strategies

Our audience is Developers building on protocols and web3 applications, potential validators and stackers in a protocol, Computer science students with an interest in web3 based language models and every day ecosystem players for education purpose. We are already running initiatives to onboard and educate, here is how we plan to onboard the first 100 users for Filecoin:

  1. We will promote the launch of Filecoin support on the Zeeve platform to all of Zeeve’s user base of 24,000+ users.

  2. We are going to launch a marketing campaign that will include a Press Release, How to articles and blogs on Zeeve’s blog and 3rd party sites like Hackernoon, Webinars and Twitter Spaces through Zeeve’s Web3Voice and offline developer meetups through Zeeve’s Web3 Titans initiative and Hackathons through Zeeve’s network on 30+ community DAOs, colleges and developer forums.
