🧪 SPX PDP: APAC EDITION - Assignment 1 – Deploy a Filecoin Warm Storage Service (FWSS) Enabled SP Node

[TippyFlitsUK]

Welcome to SPX PDP: APAC Edition!

In this first assignment in the SPX PDP: APAC Edition program. You’ll install and run a full Filecoin Storage Provider stack with FWSS & PDP support: Lotus, YugabyteDB, Curio, and pdptool.

By the end of this assignment, your node will:

• ✅ Sync to Calibration via Lotus
• ✅ Initialise a new Curio SP instance
• ✅ Serve a public FWSS & PDP endpoint over HTTPS
• ✅ Submit live FWSS proofs
• ✅ Store client data in an unsealed, verifiable state

This setup is required to receive FWSS test deals from clients. Your node must be stable and publicly reachable for the rest of the program to proceed.

This setup must be stable and publicly reachable to participate in future FWSS & PDP SPX testing.
