Description
When files rely on one central server, its outage breaks every link? IPFS takes a different approach—a peer-to-peer hypermedia protocol where files are content-addressed and stored jointly by many nodes in the network. You get a hash of the file's content: the content doesn't change, so the address doesn't, and anyone storing that file can serve it. It relies on no single server, inherently resisting censorship and single points of failure. It's infrastructure for building decentralized apps and permanent web pages. Open source.
Content addressing: locate files by content hash; same content, same address.
Distributed storage: files stored jointly by many nodes in the network.
Decentralized: no single server, resists censorship and single-point failure.
Open protocol: base infrastructure for decentralized apps and permanent pages.
