IPFS, or InterPlanetary File System, is a decentralized protocol designed to store and share files across a network of computers. Unlike traditional web systems that rely on centralized servers, IPFS uses a peer-to-peer network, allowing users to access content directly from other users. This makes file sharing faster and more resilient, as it reduces the risk of data loss due to server failures. In IPFS, each file is identified by a unique cryptographic hash, ensuring that the content remains unchanged and verifiable. This system promotes data integrity and enables efficient content distribution, making it a promising solution for applications in blockchain technology, decentralized applications, and more.
