About:
IPFS is a distributed system for storing and accessing files, websites, and data. It uses content addressing via cryptographic hashes, ensuring data integrity and censorship resistance. This peer-to-peer protocol allows users to host and share content without relying on centralized servers.
Key Features:
  • Content-addressed storage for data integrity
  • Distributed and peer-to-peer architecture
  • Censorship-resistant data sharing
  • Deduplication and bandwidth efficiency
Use Cases:
  • Decentralized file hosting and sharing
  • Hosting static websites without central servers
  • Distributing large datasets for research or software
Alternatives:
  • bittorrent – IPFS generalizes file sharing with a Unix filesystem model, while BitTorrent is optimized for single-file torrents.
  • storj – IPFS focuses on protocol and content addressing, whereas Storj is a commercial decentralized storage platform.
