IPFS stands for InterPlanetary File System. IPFS is a protocol and eponymous network designed to create a content-addressable, peer-to-peer method of storing and sharing hypermedia in a distributed file system. IPFS was initially designed by Juan Benet, and is now an open-source project developed with help from the community. IPFS is trying to replace HTTP by making data distributed meaning decentralization.History is being erased on the internet and IPFS is here to help, by empowering an internet that is decentralized.
IPFS also uses a human-readable name system that is entirely decentralized named IPNS.
