IPFS (InterPlanetary File System)

IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) is a decentralized way to store and share files across the internet. Instead of relying on a single server, files are broken into small pieces and distributed across many computers worldwide. Each file has a unique cryptographic address, ensuring data integrity and enabling quick retrieval. This system makes the web more resilient, censorship-resistant, and efficient by reducing reliance on central servers and preventing single points of failure. IPFS essentially creates a peer-to-peer network that connects users directly, improving accessibility, security, and the overall performance of sharing digital content.
