IPFSbased
IPFS-based refers to software, systems, and architectures that rely on the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) as the underlying data storage and retrieval layer. IPFS is a peer-to-peer, content-addressed distributed file system designed to address data by its content hash rather than by the location of a server.
In IPFS-based architectures, data is identified by content identifiers (CIDs). Each piece of data is stored across
Common uses include hosting static websites on IPFS, distributing large datasets, and building decentralized applications (dApps)
Advantages include resistance to single-point failures, censorship resistance, and potential cost efficiencies for large-scale distribution. IPFS
Limitations involve non-guaranteed persistence without pinning or economic incentives, variable network performance, and privacy considerations due
Related terms include CID, IPFS node implementations (go-ipfs, js-ipfs), IPNS, pinning, Filecoin, and Web3 storage solutions.
