Building Blocks For a Better Web

“It’s crucially important to have a distributed file system in our open hypertext system. IPFS is the missing piece that allows for a truly decentralized and open web.”

“Our local data infrastructure was stuck in customs. We set up IPFS on notebooks and a Raspberry Pi, and suddenly all scientists could sync, share, and collaborate, with automatic uploads back to Hamburg whenever the connection returned.”

“There is no central point of compromise anymore. There is no database that can be hacked, because the data just doesn’t exist, even in encrypted form, in one place anywhere. It only comes together at the edge device of the patient.”

“IPFS is the standard for storing data in a verifiable and fully transparent way, thereby allowing us to build openly auditable governance systems.”

“Using IPFS private swarms, we deployed a fleet of devices communicating mission-critical data in a factory without any central infrastructure, which has allowed us to move much faster.”

“It was such a relief to know I could store my videos in one place, each with its own IPFS URL and CID. Resilience is important to me, and having the work backed up means it’ll be around for a long time.”
