What is this network?

The network in question is Filecoin Saturn, an open-source, community-run Content Delivery Network (CDN) built on Filecoin. It operates within Filecoin's retrieval market, where websites purchase fast, low-cost content delivery, and Saturn node operators earn Filecoin by fulfilling these requests. The content on Saturn is IPFS content-addressed, meaning every piece of content is immutable and every response verifiable. This network is trustless, permissionless, and inclusive, allowing anyone to run Saturn software, contribute to the network, and earn Filecoin.

How can I mine tokens?

To mine tokens on the Filecoin Saturn network, you need to run a node. The more you serve, the more you earn. Saturn nodes are neatly packaged Docker containers, and you can set up your node quickly with Docker or an easy-to-use Ansible playbook. The potential earnings are estimated based on your server's upload speed and available storage.

In addition to this, Filecoin miners earn block rewards by proving that they are providing reliable and useful storage to network clients. The Filecoin blockchain grows through successive rounds of leader elections, and any miner who wins a leader election and is thus selected to mine a new block receives a set amount of Filecoin tokens as a block reward.

How can I optimize my mining rewards?

Optimizing mining rewards on the Filecoin Saturn network involves contributing more to the network. The more you serve, the more you earn. This means that increasing your server's upload speed and available storage can potentially increase your earnings.

In the broader Filecoin network, miners earn the right to participate in leader elections by contributing storage power to the network. Block rewards are awarded based on the amount of storage power a Filecoin storage miner is able to provide, weighted by the quality multipliers of different deal types in their storage.

How can I use the network?

To use the Filecoin Saturn network, you can join the network and run a node. Running a node involves setting up a Docker container or using an Ansible playbook. Once your node is set up, you can start serving and accelerating Web3 content, earning Filecoin in the process.

Who governs this network?

The Filecoin Saturn network is an open-source, community-run network. This suggests that it is governed by the community of users and developers who contribute to the network and its open-source codebase.
