Out There with IPFS
IPFS is an open system to manage data without a central server
A Universe Of Uses
How IPFS is Used in Production
IPFS's versatility shines across different industries – making it the multi-purpose tool for the decentralized age.
Why IPFS?
Our peer-to-peer content delivery network is built around content addressing: Store, retrieve, and locate data based on the guts of its content vs. its name or location.
Open
The IPFS network is distributed and participatory, which reduces data silos from central servers.
Verifiable
The integrity of all data is verified using hash functions, so you can trust that you always get the data you’re looking for.
Resilient
Files and data can be stored across multiple nodes, which keeps content at the ready even during critical outages
