Join a global network of storage providers
Getting started with PDP storage
Running a warm storage node using Proof of Data Possession (PDP) is the easiest way to begin offering Filecoin storage — no expensive hardware or long-term collateral required.
Lowest hardware costs
Warm storage requires minimal infrastructure, making it affordable to start offering storage with just basic compute and disk.
Fastest path to becoming a SP
Get online quickly with a simple setup and no sealing hardware — perfect for testing, learning, and onboarding your first clients.
Ideal for new operators and small teams
Operate a reliable, permissionless storage service without managing complex pipelines or large-scale hardware.
Scaling your storage operations
If you're already running a warm storage node and want to expand, Filecoin supports enterprise-grade proofs like Proof of Replication (PoRep) and Proof of Spacetime (PoSt) — enabling high-capacity, production-scale storage operations. Scaling involves:
Dedicated sealing hardware (CPU/GPU)
High-performance machines designed to handle sealing workloads reliably and at scale.
High-performance storage pipelines
Optimized data paths that maintain consistent throughput and stable thermal performance.
Distributed sealing systems
Run parallelized sealing workflows with networked workers and production-grade tooling.
