| summary | IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) is a technology enabling decentralized data storage and content addressing. It’s being utilized in diverse applications, including:
* Offline Productivity: Anytype leverages IPFS for building personal knowledge webs. * Censorship Resistance: Used to restore access to blocked content like Wikipedia and provide permanent storage for digital art via NFT.storage. * Gaming: 3S Studios reduced game sizes significantly using an IPFS plugin. * Scientific Collaboration: WeatherXM utilizes IPFS for collaborative weather data sharing. * Web3 Transparency: Snapshot employs IPFS for recording data and proposals for Web3 projects (DAOs). * Space Exploration: Lockheed Martin plans to launch an IPFS node into orbit for interplanetary communication.
IPFS’s core innovation is content addressing – storing and retrieving data based on its content’s fingerprint rather than its location, fostering a peer-to-peer network with over 2,000 contributors, 280,000 nodes, and 1 billion CIDs published. |
