This page provides an overview of the services and infrastructure provided by ChainSafe across the Filecoin ecosystem.
You can check the status of many ChainSafe services at status.chainsafe.dev.
Forest Node​
Filecoin full node written in Rust aiming to provide a stable and performant implementation of the Filecoin protocol.
Forest repositories
Actively-maintained repositories that are part of the Forest project are:
- forest - the central repository containing Forest node implementation, relevant tests and documentation.
- forest-iac - Infrastructure as Code for deploying Forest nodes, mirroring important Filecoin assets and other services supporting Forest development.
- fil-actor-states - state-only version of the Filecoin actors, following semver versioning and providing a stable interface for Forest and other Filecoin implementations.
Forest Explorer Faucet​
Forest Explorer Faucet is a serverless application that allows users to request FIL on both mainnet and calibnet. The faucet is available at forest-explorer.chainsafe.dev/faucet. The code is open source and available at github.com/ChainSafe/forest-explorer.

Bootstrap nodes​
Bootstrap nodes are essential for new peers joining the network. They provide a list of known peers to connect to, allowing the new peer to join the network quickly. ChainSafe provides several bootstrap nodes (both Forest and Lotus-based) for the Filecoin network (the chainsafe.io domain):
Latest Filecoin snapshots​
The latest snapshots are required for new nodes to sync with the network. The snapshots are updated hourly and are available for both mainnet and calibnet.
Filecoin Archive​
Filecoin Archive is a collection of Filecoin snapshots aiming to provide a historical record of the Filecoin network. The archive is available at forest-archive.chainsafe.dev.
Calibnet FIL and datacap faucet​
Lotus Fountain-based faucet for calibnet FIL and datacap. The faucet is available at faucet.calibnet.chainsafe-fil.io.
Storage​
The S3-compatible IPFS/Filecoin gateway is available at storage.chainsafe.io.
