Overview
IPFS, or the InterPlanetary File System, is a distributed protocol designed to make the web faster, safer, and more open. Instead of locating content by where it is (like traditional HTTP URLs), IPFS locates content by what it is – using a content-addressing system. This means files are addressed by a cryptographic hash of their content, ensuring data integrity and provenance. It's built by Protocol Labs and has gained traction for its potential to decentralize web infrastructure, resist censorship, and improve data availability. Think of it as a global, versioned, peer-to-peer file system.
