Introduction to IPFS

Hello! Today, we're diving into the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS). It's a revolutionary way to store and access files, designed to make the internet more robust, decentralized, and efficient.

Think of it as a new foundation for how we share data online, moving beyond the traditional web.

Currently, when you visit a website or download a file, your request goes to a specific server. This is called location addressing, as you're asking for content at a particular address.

• If that server goes down, the content is unavailable.
• It creates a single point of failure.
• Content can be censored or removed by the server owner.
