Lotus is an experimental implementation of the Filecoin Distributed Storage Network. For more details about Filecoin, check out the [Filecoin Spec](https://github.com/filecoin-project/specs).
All work is tracked via issues. An attempt at keeping an up-to-date view on remaining work is in the [lotus testnet github project board](https://github.com/filecoin-project/lotus/projects/1).
For instructions on how to build lotus from source, please visit [https://docs.lotu.sh](https://docs.lotu.sh) or read the source [here](https://github.com/filecoin-project/lotus/tree/master/documentation).
