Description

Description

IPFS.cat and file data sources have data availability issues, so they are non-deterministic. We would benefit greatly from a system of file hosting and fetching that can be relied on for availability and can be included in POIs.

Will start as a research project and will likely need involvement from protocol team.

Research direction

No implementation files, tests, or entry points are identified. Start by researching the IPFS.cat and file data source availability issues, how POIs depend on file data, and the protocol-team constraints. Done would require a decided design for reliable hosting and fetching that can be included in POIs.
