IPFS

InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) is a protocol and network designed to create a content-addressable, peer-to-peer (P2P) method of storing and sharing hypermedia in a distributed file system.[2] IPFS was initially designed by Juan Benet, and is now an open-source project developed with help from the community... In 2014, the IPFS protocol took advantage of the Bitcoin blockchain protocol and network infrastructure in order to store unalterable data, remove duplicated files across the network, and obtain address information for accessing storage nodes to search for files in the network... IPFS is a peer-to-peer distributed file system that seeks to connect all computing devices with the same system of files. In some ways, IPFS is similar to the World Wide Web, but IPFS could be seen as a single BitTorrent swarm, exchanging objects within one Git repository. In other words, IPFS provides a high-throughput, content-addressed block storage model, with content-addressed hyperlinks.[11] This forms a generalized Merkle directed acyclic graph (DAG). IPFS combines a distributed hash table, an incentivized block exchange, and a self-certifying namespace. IPFS has no single point of failure, and nodes do not need to trust each other not to tamper with data in transit.[12] Distributed Content Delivery saves bandwidth and prevents DDoS attacks, which HTTP struggles with. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/InterPlanetary_File_System
