New RFP Ideas for Wave 3
RFP: New RFP Ideas for Wave 3
Name of Project: Simple Storage webapps
RFP Category: app-dev
Proposer: [@DecentralTech]
Project Description
Single page apps that demonstrate using Filecoin to store and retrieve files. Example workflow: drag + drop a file, pay to store it, retrieve it. Show miner info, CIDs. One version could eli5 (explain-it-like-I'm-5) to new users as a tutorial or tour. Your proposal should provide examples of applications and interfaces your team has built and links to their code repos. Also see Filecoin community resources for an initial list of Filecoin developer tools.
Outcome
- File network disk, refer to the IPFS WebUI demo, without registering the login system, allowing users to upload files, view uploaded files, and obtain files
- The function relies on the filecoin chain to interact with the chain instantly

Name of Project: Filecoin Chain State Explorer
RFP Category: app-dev
Project Description
An interactive visual tool to dive into the Filecoin state trie would help protocol developers and researchers do in-depth analysis. The 1st level could be an interpretation of the actual tree and include key Actors, a map of the HAMT data structure, etc. Currently a latest trie snapshot is ~10GB. Also see the RFP for Diagram the Filecoin blockchain
Existing tools:
- The lotus node implementation of Filecoin has a Postgres database tool called chainwatch on top of which a visual chain explorer has been built.
- Several block explorers for Filecoin (filscan.io, filscout.io, filplorer.com) have been developed
- Filecoin’s state trie is unique but this Ethereum state trie diagram provides an example of what may be involved Preferred applicants should be able to work independently and learn how the Filecoin state trie is structured using the Filecoin Specification and the various Filecoin node implementations.
Outcome
- Interactive and high performance chain data tree explorer
- Along with updated filplorer.com
Team
(Filplorer.com was built by our team previously, chain state explorer is planned to updated upon filplorer.com)

Name of Project: Diagram the Filecoin Blockchain
RFP Category: app-dev
Project Description
Diagrams of the Filecoin blockchain at the level of detail and visual quality of Lee Thomas’ diagram of the Ethereum Yellow paper and state trie [ Source ]. Preferred applicants should be able to work independently and learn how the Filecoin blockchain is structured using the Filecoin Specification and the various Filecoin node implementations.
Outcome
- Very clear diagram explanation of Filecoin blockchain
- Maintenance of long-term update of technical specifications

Name of Project: Web archiving browser extension or Twitter bot
Project Description
A browser extension that allows users to archive websites to IPFS and backup to Filecoin. This extension could also provide a Filecoin wallet so that users can pay for archival and as a way to keep track of what they have saved. In the future this could be expanded to ways to collaborate on and share archived bookmarks in online communities or as bookmarking services (e.g. Pinboard , Pinterest, etc.) A Twitter bot such as the former Link Archiver could automatically archive websites from tweeted links. This project would need to explore the required infrastructure for these services.
Outcome
- Current page content generate html files and save it on IPFS. Filecoin Deals was optional for users
- .No Filecoin Wallet included but wallet API set aside, because found some other team have proposed Filecoin Wallet
- Chrome and Firefox extension

Hi @DecentralTech,
Are you applying for 4 different projects in this proposal?
I don't see any technical detail about any of the projects beyond what we wrote in the RFPs. Please describe in more detail what your team is planning to build and how with as much technical detail as possible.
Hello @eshon
Here's a schematic of the technical logic of Web archiving browser extension. And we have implemented the code for Archive Website to IPFS part.

Here is a 30 sec video demo: 30 sec video Archive a website to IPFS and MFS, output the hash, download the website file from IPFS and it can be viewed with css styling offline.
Is this information sufficient for the devgrant application for the browser extension project? If this information is OK, we would be happy to have our product manager put together a schematic presentation of the other 3 project.
