Project Venus – 启明星 is a sophisticated open-source implementation of the Filecoin Distributed Storage Network, designed to enhance security, ease of use, and support distributed storage pools. Distinctive from Lotus, Venus offers a modular architecture, facilitating the deployment of a variety of functionalities across its loosely integrated modules, each contributing to a comprehensive Filecoin ecosystem. Developers and contributors are invited to engage with the project by adhering to structured contribution guidelines that emphasize constructive proposals and precise coding standards, thus ensuring meaningful enhancements to the codebase. Governed by dual Apache 2.0 and MIT licenses, Project Venus stands as an inclusive platform for innovation and collaboration within the Filecoin community.
