## ❓The Overall Functions

The overall functions that have been implemented for mefs-user,  mefs-keeper, and mefs-provider will also be able to get a more complete experience in the test network Phecda.\
Specifically, it includes:&#x20;

\
**📨  Provider's role contract setting, storage market, revenue display, etc.**
