Quick takeaways

  • IPFS enables decentralized file storage and sharing without reliance on a central source of truth.
  • Content verification in IPFS is facilitated through content identifiers (CIDs) and decentralized hash tables (DHT) for reliable file access.

Deep dives

Overview of IPFS

IPFS is a peer-to-peer network known for its decentralized model. Users can store and share files without relying on a single source of truth. Content verification is a key feature of IPFS achieved through content identifiers (CIDs). By using CIDs, files are deterministically identified and retrieved using hashing algorithms. The network utilizes decentralized hash tables (DHT) to distribute content, allowing users to access files reliably and securely.
