WHY IPFS?
OUR PEER-TO-PEER CONTENT DELIVERY NETWORK IS BUILT AROUND THE INNOVATION OF
CONTENT ADDRESSING: STORE, RETRIEVE, AND LOCATE DATA BASED ON THE FINGERPRINT OF
ITS ACTUAL CONTENT RATHER THAN ITS NAME OR LOCATION.
OPEN
The IPFS network is distributed and participatory, which reduces the problem of
data silos that plague central servers.
VERIFIABLE
The integrity of all data is verified using hash functions, so you can trust
that you always get the data you’re looking for.
RESILIENT
Files and data can be stored across multiple nodes, which keeps content at the
ready even during critical outages.
Learn how it works

FROM THE COMMUNITY
1. “IPFS gives us a set of flexible building blocks for connecting devices and
exchanging data. The plethora of IPFS documentation and community members
contributes toward our goal at Agregore of making peer-to-peer web apps
easy to use.”
Mauve Signweaver, Founder - Agregore
2. “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.”
Gabo H Beaumont, Co-Founder - Mintter inc
3. “As people learn about IPFS, they also get a view of IPFS as a component in
a broader ecosystem. It's not an island. It's not a technology that lives
entirely on its own, it's a piece of a broader stack of something. We see
it as an onramp to broader decentralization.”
Wes Floyd, Bacalhau
4. “I use NFT.storage for my digital art. It was such a relief to know that I
could store my videos in one place—each one with its own IPFS URL and CID.
Resilience is important to me and having the work backed up to Filecoin
means they'll be around for a long time.”
Nancy Baker Cahill, Artist
5. “At 3box labs, we are using IPFS as the storage layer. If you want to build
full decentralized applications, you need data integrity. IPFS guarantees
integrity by providing a framework for merkelized data.”
Joel Thorstenssen, Co-founder - 3Box Labs
6. “IPFS and content addressing give us the opportunity to work towards having
every human be able to put data online effectively for free, and
effectively forever.”
Boris Mann, Co-founder - Fission
7. “At Cloudflare, we offer to make content available to every user of the
Internet. By removing lock-in to any single data storage provider, IPFS
really allows our customers to choose a storage provider they are
comfortable with.”
Thibault Meunier, Research Engineer - Cloudflare
8. “By using IPFS private swarms, we were able to deploy a fleet of devices
communicating mission critical data in a factory without any central
infrastructure, which has allowed us to move much faster.”
Roland Kuhn, Actyx
