| Egress | CDN egress 'up to $14/TiB (about $0.014/GiB) downloaded' via Filecoin Beam, about half that from cache. 1 TiB/day = 30 TiB/mo = up to $420/mo free_allowance: 30 TiB per month |

Storage at $2.50/TiB is genuinely competitive, but total cost of ownership for a user is dominated by egress: $420/mo of CDN to serve 1 TiB/day on top of $100/mo of storage = $520/mo. Also gated on holding USDFC (a stablecoin) and a refundable ~$0.50 lifecycle reserve per data set; each add-pieces call costs $0.008 + $0.003/piece, which is punitive for a 20 TiB corpus of many small objects. |
| Binding | per-ip-shaping one stream is shaped, and a user's throughput is the shaped rate times the number of streams |
| Interface | unknown Synapse SDK; FWSS (Filecoin Warm Storage Service); Filecoin Pay streaming payments |
| Tooling | synapse-sdk, USDFC deposits, lotus/curio on the provider side |
| Composes with | cheap storage, expensive egress - the classic shape that fails the serving workload but suits the cold-archive workload |
| Reliability | Requires a funded stablecoin wallet; deals are 30-day-epoch denominated and stream payments continuously. |
| Notes | $2.50/TiB/month per copy, plus $0.12 per data-set/month proving fee. 20 TiB = $50/mo per copy; two copies = $100/mo |
