Forest

Forest

Forest is an implementation of Filecoin written in Rust. It focuses on performance and low resource usage. It is compatible with most of the JSON-RPC API exposed by Lotus, making it easy to use with existing tools and libraries.

Forest does not support all features of the reference implementation but is a good fit for specific applications, such as:

  • generating Filecoin snapshots,
  • running a bootstrap node,
  • running an RPC node.

Forest does not provide storage provider functionality.
