Browse and upload on-chain files at ethfs.xyz
dhof's on-chain 3D rose NFT inspired tons of fun conversations and projects. It surfaced many examples and use cases for highly reusable on-chain assets (JS libraries, fonts, gifs).
EthFS is an effort to consolidate these assets into a public, durable on-chain repository with ergonomic, gas-optimized methods for reading and writing files.
EthFS leans on SSTORE2's strategy to efficiently read and write data in the form of contract bytecode. The frontend splits files into 24kb chunks (max contract size) and writes them to the ContentStore, a content-addressable data storage contract.
A File struct wraps a set of content checksums that, when concatenated in order, represent the full file contents. It also holds the logic for reading/unwrapping the file contents into a single string in a very gas-efficient way.
The FileStore contract acts as a minimum viable registry, a global namespace of human-readable filenames for more ergonomic use within consumer contracts and the frontend's file browser.
For specific use cases (e.g. different naming schemes, permissioning, etc.), you may decide to create your own file store abstraction. That's great! The
ContentStoreis designed to be unopinionated (strictly content-addressable), so that building on top of it can benefit everyone.
