Ethereum Classic Labs Adds Support for Filecoin Ecosystem

Offering OpenRPC Support for Filecoin Lotus for the First Time

Ethereum Classic Labs is teaming up with Filecoin, a decentralized storage network designed to store humanity’s most important information. This collaboration will bring multiple languages and provide developers with a modern interface on the Filecoin Lotus API using OpenRPC for the first time.

OpenRPC is an ETC Labs open-source project created by its ETC Core development team that defines a standard programming language-agnostic interface description for JSON-RPC 2.0 APIs. The integration with Filecoin Lotus will offer proper documentation for developers, and make it possible to support automated type safe client generation and documentation with a minimal footprint. All while tracking the implementation changes in your API automatically. Easy as one, two, three!

“We strongly believe in the potential of decentralized storage and the disruption it will have on Amazon S3, Google Cloud, and other legacy corporations that have monopolized the storage market. We believe Filecoin is a major player revolutionizing the storage space and we are excited to work with them through the mainnet launch,” said James Wo, Founder, and Chairman of ETC Labs.

“We’re excited to have ETC Labs add support using OpenRPC’s reflection to auto-generate descriptions of Filecoin’s Lotus JSON RPC API. This can help developers learn to use the API more quickly and seems like a great tool for blockchain developers in general,” said Eva S., Filecoin Dev Grants Coordinator, Protocol Labs.

OpenRPC on Filecoin Lotus API means:

• a common vocabulary and document to keep developers, testers, architects, and technical writers all in sync
• server stubs/skeletons generated in many languages
• clients generated in many languages
• mock server generated in many languages
• tests generated in many languages
• documentation generation
