The problem RIFIL solves
- Anyone in the Filecoin ecosystem can use this for investing in valuable data generators and earn against that
- Storage Providers can earn more by storing data that would be high in demand using retrieval fees
- Clients can use this subsidy to store data for free or a negligible cost even without FIL+
- It can work with or without FIL+ and can also act as a replacement for FIL+
- Most useful for high impact data creators that whose data get used by a lot of other people like open source data models and weights
- Impactful for onboarding enterprise clients with high rate of retrievals
Challenges I ran into
Creating the incentive structure and finishing off in time.
