Overview

Storage providers in the Filecoin network are in charge of storing, providing content and issuing new blocks.

• Understand how providing storage works and what different types of providers exist.
• Learn how storage providers get rewards when doing their job properly, but also slashed when they are unable to honor deals they have made.
• Learn about different storage provider architectures.
• Setup and run a high performant lotus-miner.

The documentation you will be reading assumes you are familiar with the documentation in the Get started section, have a general grasp of how Filecoin works and are familiar with Filecoin node software and tooling.

Running a successful storage provisioning operation on Filecoin has high hardware requirements and, apart from a strong familiarity with Filecoin, requires experience in systems deployment and administration.
