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.

  • Deep support from Filecoin solution architects

    Get expert guidance on architecture, scaling strategy, and best practices for large deployments.
