 # Storage onramps
 
-Here’s how they work: Developers use APIs or libraries to send data to storage helpers. Behind the scenes, storage helpers receive the data and handle the underlying processes to store it in a reliable and decentralized storage way by saving it [IPFS](https://ipfs.tech) nodes, making deals with Filecoin storage providers – or both. You can use the same APIs or other tools to retrieve data quickly.
-
-Storage helpers are available for NFTs (non-fungible tokens) or general data. If you are storing NFTs, check out [Storing NFTs](storage-onramps.md#storing-nfts). For general data, skip to [General data storage](storage-onramps.md#general-data-storage).
-
-#### Storing NFTs
-
-* [The NFT.Storage flagship product](https://nft.storage/nft-storage-flagship-product) focuses on the enduring preservation of NFTs with a low one-time fee per. First mint your NFTs, then send us the NFT data that we preserve in endowment-backed long-term Filecoin storage. As an NFT.Storage user, you support our platform when you choose Pinata and Lighthouse for hot storage and [use our referral links here](https://nft.storage/blog/announcing-our-new-partnerships-with-pinata-and-lighthouse), helping to sustain our valuable public goods. Your NFTs will also be included in the NFT Token Checker, a tool for block explorers, marketplaces and wallets to show verification that NFT collections, tokens, and CIDs are preserved by NFT.Storage.
-* [NFT.Storage Classic](https://nft.storage/nft-storage-classic) is a free service that provides hot data storage on the decentralized Filecoin network with fast retrieval through IPFS. As of June 30, 2024, we have officially decommissioned NFT.Storage Classic uploads, however retrieval of existing data remains operational. For NFT data already uploaded through NFT.Storage Classic, the NFT.Storage Gateway makes the data retrievable on block explorers, marketplaces and dapps.
-
-#### General data storage
-
-* [Chainsafe Storage API](https://docs.storage.chainsafe.io) is an underlayer to Chainsafe’s encrypted IPFS & Filecoin file storage system. It offers S3-compatible bucket-style APIs for easy migration of data. As of September 2022, it’s the only storage helper with built-in encryption.
-* [Web3.Storage](https://web3.storage/docs) is a fast and open developer platform for [storing and interacting with data](https://blog.web3.storage/). Upload any data and Web3.Storage will ensure it ends up on a decentralized set of IPFS and Filecoin storage providers. There are JavaScript and Go libraries for the API, as well as a no-code web uploader. Free and paid plans are available.

+The available storage onramps are:

+* [Akave](https://www.akave.ai/) is "revolutionizing data management with a decentralized, modular solution that combines the robust storage of Filecoin with cutting-edge encryption and easy-to-use interfaces."

+# Discussion Forums and Filecoin Improvement Proposals 
+
+### Discussion Forums
+
+For shorter-lived discussions, our community chat open to all on both Slack and Discord: 
+
+* [Slack](https://filecoin.io/slack/)
+* [Discord](https://discord.com/invite/filecoin)
+
+For long-lived discussions and for support, please use the [discussion tab on GitHub](https://github.com/filecoin-project/community#forums) instead of Slack. It’s easy for complex discussions to get lost in a sea of new messages on those chat platforms, and posting longer discussions and support requests on the forums helps future visitors, too.
+
+### Filecoin improvement proposals
+
+Filecoin improvement proposals (FIPs) are design documents that propose changes and improvements to the Filecoin network, giving detailed specifications and their rational, and allowing the community to document their consensus or dissent.  All technical FIPs that are accepted are later reflected in the [Filecoin Spec](https://spec.filecoin.io/). 
+
+There are three types of FIPs: 
+* Technical FIPs (FTP): protocol changes, standards, API changes.  They can include core (consensus-related changes, networking (network protocol improvements, interface (API/RPC or language-level updates), or can be informational (updates to general guidelines or documentation).
+* Organizational FIPs (FOP): changes to processes, tools, or governance.
+* Recovery FIPs (FRP): emergency fixes requiring state changes (e.g., major bugs).
+
+Typically, the FIP lifecycle looks something like this: 
+
+[ WIP ] -> [ DRAFT ] -> [ LAST CALL ] -> [ ACCEPTED ] -> [ FINAL ]
+
+1. WIP: A community member has an idea for a FIP, and begins discussing the idea publicly on the Filecoin Discord, in the [Filecoin Slack channel for discussing FIPs](https://filecoinproject.slack.com/archives/C01EU76LPCJ), or in Github issues for the relevant repo.  
+2. DRAFT: If there is a chance the FIP could be adopted, the author submits a draft for the FIP as a pull request in the [FIPs repo](https://github.com/filecoin-project/FIPs).
+3. LAST CALL: This status allows the community to submit final changes to the draft.
+4. ACCEPTED: Once the FIP is voted on and accepted, the core engineers will work to implement it.  
+5. FINAL: This status represents the current state-of-the-art, and it should only be updated to correct errors.
+
+It is the authors' responsibility to request status updates for the FIP.  A more robust explainer of the FIP process can be found in [FIP001](https://github.com/filecoin-project/FIPs/blob/master/FIPS/fip-0001.md#what-is-a-fip).
