The retrieval market facilitates the negotiation of retrieval deals for serving stored data to clients in exchange for FIL. |
Currently, Filecoin nodes support direct retrieval from the storage miners who originally stored the data. Clients can send retrieval requests directly to a storage provider and pay a small amount of FIL to retrieve their data.
To request data retrieval, clients need to provide the following information to the storage provider:
- Storage Provider ID: The ID of the storage provider where the data is stored.
- Payload CID: Also known as Data CID.
- Address: The address initially used to create the storage deal.
Saturn is a Web3 CDN within Filecoin’s retrieval market that serves data stored on Filecoin with low latency and at a low cost. It consists of independent retrieval providers dedicated to efficient, fast, and reliable data retrieval operations.
