filecoin Memory Analysis in Rust A practical rundown of tools and techniques for tracking down memory use in Rust, drawn from profiling the Forest Filecoin node. From heaptrack and gperftools/pprof to dhat and valgrind, here’s what worked, what didn’t, and how to spot OOM risks.
filecoin FRC-0104: Making Filecoin nodes speak the same language FRC-0104: Common Node API, defines a standard API for Filecoin nodes using OpenRPC. It streamlines core methods across clients like Lotus and Forest, reducing guesswork and improving compatibility. With clear schemas and conformance testing, apps target one spec and work across compliant clients.
forest What Does Immutability Mean to Filecoin? Immutability was never just technical. From stone tablets to CIDs, we’ve always tried to make memory last. In blockchains, it’s a core tenet, data sealed by consensus. In Filecoin, it's a web of incentives, proofs, and people choosing not to forget.

Substrate The Importance of Client Diversity in Decentralized Networks It's no secret that ChainSafe is a proponent of diversity when it comes to client implementations. For some, the reason for this is clear. But for others, it's worth reiterating the benefits of client diversity and understanding the problem of relying too heavily on a single person, entity, or piece
