What is Curio?

 

Curio is the enterprise-grade platform for Filecoin storage providers, unifying sealing, proving, deal-making, and retrieval into one resilient cluster architecture. Beyond replacing legacy Lotus and Boost, Curio powers Market 2.0 with automated deal pipelines, integrates with IPNI for fast, verifiable retrieval, and enables Snark Markets, letting SPs outsource or monetize GPU capacity for zk-proofs. With multi-MinerID support, automated upgrades, and high-availability by design, Curio maximizes hardware efficiency and uptime, making it the future-proof foundation for professional storage providers and enterprises in the Filecoin ecosystem.
