A practical rundown of tools and techniques for tracking down memory use in Rust, drawn from profiling the Forest Filecoin node. From heaptrack and gperftools/pprof to dhat and valgrind, here’s what worked, what didn’t, and how to spot OOM risks.| ChainSafe
Filecoin’s first RetroPGF round ("FIL RetroPGF 1") concluded last week, awarding nearly 200,000 FIL to 99 (out of 106 eligible) projects.| Open Source Observer Blog
FRC-0104: Common Node API, defines a standard API for Filecoin nodes using OpenRPC. It streamlines core methods across clients like Lotus and Forest, reducing guesswork and improving compatibility. With clear schemas and conformance testing, apps target one spec and work across compliant clients.| ChainSafe
Immutability was never just technical. From stone tablets to CIDs, we’ve always tried to make memory last. In blockchains, it’s a core tenet, data sealed by consensus. In Filecoin, it's a web of incentives, proofs, and people choosing not to forget.| ChainSafe
