FCR is a client to participate in an FCR network that can be viewed as a form of the filecoin secondary retrieval market. If you are not familiar with the concept of retrieval market, visit here.
There are three fundemental roles in an FCR network:
-
Retrieval provider: Node that provides content to the network for paid retrieval.
-
Payment provider: Node that provides proxy payment to a given recipient for surcharge.
-
Retreival client: Node that retrieves a content from a retrieval provider with direct payment or indirect payment through payment providers.
Each FCR node can be one or a mixed of multiple of these roles.
Currently, you can only install FCR by building from source. To install and run FCR, check here.
To learn how to operate a FCR node, check here for instructions on how to operate an FCR node and here for documentation on CLI.
If you are interested in building an application on top of FCR network, visit here.
You will see the term currencyID appears in lot of places in FCR because FCR is designed to support multiple currency. However, FCR network currently runs only on filecoin calibration network with the currency ID be 1.
