Overview
Decentralized storage systems replace centralized servers with distributed networks where data is addressed by its content hash rather than its location. This enables censorship resistance, redundancy, and user-owned data persistence.
Key Technologies
- IPFS — InterPlanetary File System, a peer-to-peer protocol for content-addressed storage and sharing
- Arweave — Permanent, decentralized storage using a novel blockweave data structure
- Ceramic Network — Decentralized data streaming network for mutable documents on top of IPFS
