Episode notes

Exploring the differences in content storage mechanisms between the Interplanetary File System (IPFS) and blockchain systems, emphasizing flexibility in replication and decentralization in IPFS compared to mandatory data replication in blockchain. Discussing the role of pinning services in maintaining continuous availability of content in IPFS nodes, ensuring redundancy and availability even if some nodes go offline.

The interplanetary filesystem, or IPFS, is a peer-to-peer network that uses a distributed and decentralized model. Functionally, IPFS allows users to store and share files without having to rely on a single source of truth for those files.

Matt Ober is the Co-Founder & CTO of Pinata. He joins the show to talk about IPFS and Pinata.
