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
