IPFS – Inter-Planetary File System. This is a peer-to-peer file sharing network using content addressing (object storage) to give each file a unique ID in a global namespace which connects IPFS hosts. These hosts, nodes or user-operators each hold a part of the overall data. It is said to be an alternative to the world wide web’s HTTP and HTTPS protocols.
