IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) replaces location-based addressing (HTTP) with content-based addressing—files stored across nodes, resistant to censorship. Filecoin incentivizes storage providers with crypto payments. Together, they underpin Web3’s data layer: NFT metadata, dApp frontends, and DAO documents. Alternatives include Arweave (permanent storage) and Storj. Centralized cloud storage (AWS) remains prevalent, but decentralization grows vital for resilience.
