Overview
Web3 storage is decentralized file storage systems like IPFS that host content without a central provider. It makes data permanent and censorship-resistant. It complements blockchain data.
How It Works
Files are split, hashed, and distributed across a peer network. Content is addressed by its hash rather than a server location. Retrieval is permissionless.
Why It Matters
Web3 storage secures NFTs, dapp content, and identity data. It removes reliance on centralized servers. Its durability and incentives are ongoing considerations.
