Who is Autocap For?

AutoCap is designed for Storage Providers who generate real economic activity on Filecoin and want a transparent, automated path to accessing Filecoin Plus (FIL+) DataCap.

In particular, AutoCap is well-suited for Storage Providers who:

• Provide services that generate economic activity via Filecoin Pay

• Want transparent, automated access to DC based on verifiable on-chain behavior

• Prefer a competitive, rule-based allocation mechanism over manual applications

By offering services that settle through Filecoin Pay, including, but not limited to, storage-related workflows, participants can:

• Generate on-chain economic activity measurable by AutoCap

• Earn DataCap allocations through AutoCap rounds

• Use the allocated DataCap to make verified storage deals under the Filecoin Plus program

Participation in AutoCap is entirely optional and does not affect access to DataCap through existing Filecoin Plus allocators and processes.

AutoCap does not replace the current FIL+ model. Instead, it introduces an additional access path based on an action-first, reward-later approach, where allocation follows demonstrated contribution rather than prior approval.
