Before you begin this guide, complete the following tasks to make sure you have all of the tools that you need:
Own a valid MetaMask wallet
Have USDC if you’re over the free 10GB of storage
Go to Swan IPFS Storage: Click on the Connect Wallet button to connect your MetaMask wallet, and make sure to select the corresponding network on the MetaMask wallet. Currently, we support Polygon Network and are soon connecting to BNB Chain, Aptos and SUI.
Swan IPFS Storage uses both MATIC and USDC for uploading files to the Polygon network. MATIC is needed for gas fees while USDC is needed for storage fees.
Click the button of Upload More .
Choose the file you would like to backup to Filecoin Network. The file name and file size will be displayed below upload button.
An estimated storage cost will be calculated according to the file size, the duration , and the average provider price.
Based on the real-time DeFi exchange rate which got from Sushi Swap, three lock funds plans are provided to our users. The more funds are locked, the sooner your file will be stored on the Filecoin network. Any overpaid funds will be automatically refunded to users after the deal is on chain and contract collects enough DAO signatures.
After Submitting your request, an uploading window will show up. Uploading time varies depends on the size of your file. Please keep the window open until uploading completes.
