How to store and retrieve data using smart contracts. #2129

Open johnnymatthews opened 1 year ago

johnnymatthews commented 1 year ago

Storing data on Filecoin is the thing that the network was created to do. It's a fairly complex process and isn't as straight forward as throwing bits at an API. There are ways to simplify adding data to Filecoin using storage helpers; however these docs should mostly be concerned with how developers can use Filecoin to store data without going through a third party process.

Fun fact: this is a thing in Lotus docs; however the reader must directly interact with Lotus nodes to do so.

We need to create a series of tutorials that walk the reader through an end-to-end process for storing and retrieving data on Filecoin without dealing with any third part processes/services or even touching a node. It's important that the process we define uses smart-contracts only.

Some of this information already exists in our docs. However, it's incredibly fragmented and difficult to follow.

This issue will serve as a planning and tracking issue.

Hey @hardiktheprogrammer! I am no longer with the Filecoin Project, so I can't assign issues to you. Try pinging a public channel in Filecoin Slack; someone there will be able to assist you.
