IPFS

The InterPlanetary File System (IPFS): a peer-to-peer hypermedia protocol for content-addressed data storage and transfer.

IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) is a core Web3 protocol, designed in 2014 by Juan Benet and developed by Protocol Labs: it replaces the traditional location-based addressing of HTTP with content-based addressing. Instead of requesting data by *where* it is stored (a server IP), the network requests it by *what* it is (a unique Content Identifier, or CID, which is a cryptographic hash). This peer-to-peer system, which leverages a Distributed Hash Table (DHT) and a protocol derived from BitTorrent, ensures data is distributed across thousands of nodes, boosting resilience, lowering latency, and providing censorship resistance.
