Filecoin Plus
Filecoin Foundation facilitates the Filecoin Plus (Fil+) program. Fil+ aims to increase the amount of useful data stored on the Filecoin network.

How Fil+ Works
Initial Allocation of DataCap
The Fil+ program provides Allocators with a resource called DataCap.
Distribution to Storage Clients
Allocators distribute DataCap to storage clients who want to store useful data on Filecoin.
Securing Deals
The storage clients use DataCap to secure deals with storage providers, which increases their probability of earning block rewards.
Become an Allocator
Allocators are a core part of the Fil+ program and help incentivize the storage of useful data of the Filecoin network. For a full list of instructions and walk through please visit blog.allocator.tech.
