# What is Boost?

Boost is a tool for Storage Providers to manage data onboarding and retrieval on the Filecoin network. It replaces the `go-fil-markets` package in lotus with a standalone binary that runs alongside a Lotus daemon and Lotus miner.

Boost exposes libp2p interfaces for making storage and retrieval deals, a web interface for managing storage deals, and a GraphQL interface for accessing and updating real-time deal information.
