You can publish Old Faithful-based archives with a Filecoin storage provider. This would allow you to use the Filecoin retrieval modes with your preferred provider.
For warehouse operators
Flow v1
The basic flow of uploading Old Faithful data to Filecoin involves:
the CAR file for the epoch (or )
Splitting the car file into suitable sized chunks for ingest into filecoin (32 GiB), saving the metadata.yaml produced as part of the process (will be needed for ).
Using boost to create deals for the split files, creating a deals.csv file in the process (see format below).
Once the deals are ingested, you can use the .
Deals.csv file format
The deals.csv file format should contain the following headers as the first line (and then the corresponding values under each value):
If you are a Filecoin storage provider, you can participate in the Old Faithful project by partnering with a Solana warehouse node operator that generates CAR file deals.
Flow v2 for generating CAR files will be necessary to support . It is still in progress and involves the use of a new split tool.
