Full Title
The InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) is a protocol and peer-to-peer network for storing and sharing data in a distributed file system. IPFS uses content-addressing to uniquely identify each file in a Global Namespace connecting all computing devices.[1]
Context
- IPFS was first deployed in 2015 and grew by word-of-mouth as a replacement to HTTP for static content.
- I allows users to host content as well as to search for it.
- If user do not wish to host content, they can access it by a public gateway.
