Round 2 / Filecoin Supply Simulation

Who is this project for?

• This project is for all participants of the Filecoin network who are interested in understanding how the network may evolve. This includes storage providers, ecosystem participants, and the core-dev community who need to evaluate the effect of new FIP proposals on the Filecoin economy. What pain points does it solve?
• Due to the complexity of Filecoin’s cryptoeconomics, specialized analysis is often needed to understand the effect of a particular FIP. For example, to understand the impact of giving all SPs a 10x multiplier regardless of the type of storage the network stores, one needs to model the Fil-on-Fil returns profile of different storage providers given some information about onboarding trends.
• Our tools provide the analysis to do this and communicate the results to the community in an interactive manner, enabling them to reach their conclusions with quantitative backing.
• Because the governance of Filecoin is based on “soft consensus,” communication of critical results in an interactive manner enables participants to explore and engage with new FIPs, something that was previously unavailable, enabling them to reach a consensus on the best path forward for the network more effectively. What are the tangible benefits of this contribution?
• Tangible benefits of this contribution include web-applications that the community can access at any time of their choosing to forecast the Filecoin economy’s trajectory, enabling them to make complex business decisions that were previously not possible.
