Blockchain | What is IPFS

IPFS is a computer network that allows for data storage without the need for a central server, thanks to its decentralized structure. Rather than storing files (data) on a centralized server, IPFS encrypts and breaks the files into pieces, storing them on different devices on the decentralized network. This allows for greater security in file storage. Furthermore, IPFS is different from traditional web platforms based on the HTTP protocol. This is because it can publish files in multiple locations and enable users to access data easily.
