We're releasing Storage Deal Protocol v1.2.1, a minor release which adds improved configurability to Indexer announcements, and unsealed copy storage. We would like to request community comment.
This release includes improved functionality, but does not disrupt present default Storage Deal Protocol behaviors. No bug fixes are addressed in this release, so while upgrading is encouraged, it is not immediately required.
-Adding a flag to enable storage clients to elect to not announce deal data to IPNI(InterPlanetary Network Indexer)
-Adding a flag to enable storage clients to elect to not have an unsealed copy of their data stored.
As the Filecoin network continues to grow, there are different clients and storage providers handling a variety of data storage use cases which require more flexibility. Storage clients may have specific requirements around discoverability of content, and storage providers may want to only store sealed data.
Currently by default, storage providers announce their content to the IPNI (Interplanetary Network Indexer), and also store unsealed copies of data. This change would give them the option to do otherwise.
The Propose Storage Deal libp2p protocol is updated: two optional boolean fields are introduced to enable more options at the deal proposal stage
If
'RemoveUnsealedCopy = False'
OR No setting is made at all: An unsealed copy of the data is stored.
DEFAULT behavior is to keep an unsealed copy of the data just as it is today.
If
'RemoveUnsealedCopy = True'
An unsealed copy of the data will NOT be stored.
If
'SkipIPNIAnnounce = False'
OR No setting is made at all: An announcement is sent to IPNI
DEFAULT behavior is to announce to the indexer just as it is today.
If
'SkipIPNIAnnounce = True'
Deal will NOT be announced to the indexer.
type DealParams struct { DealUUID uuid.UUID IsOffline bool ClientDealProposal market.ClientDealProposal DealDataRoot cid.Cid Transfer Transfer // Transfer params will be the zero value if this is an offline deal RemoveUnsealedCopy bool SkipIPNIAnnounce bool }
This release includes improved functionality, but does not change the existing default Storage Deal Protocol behavior. By default, deals will be announced to IPNI, and a copy of unsealed data will be kept.
No changes to underlying proofs or security.
No change to incentives.
We are updating the storage deal proposal libp2p protocol; two optional boolean fields are introduced to enable more options at the deal proposal stage.
