IPFS

A peer-to-peer hypermedia protocol to make the web faster, safer, and more open.nnHTTP downloads a file from a single computer at a time, instead of getting pieces from multiple computers simultaneously. With video delivery, a P2P approach could save 60% in bandwidth costs.nnIPFS makes it possible to distribute high volumes of data with high efficiency. And zero duplication means savings in storage.nnThe average lifespan of a web page is 100 days. Remember GeoCities? The web doesn't anymore. It's not good enough for the primary medium of our era to be so fragile.nnIPFS keeps every version of your files and makes it simple to set up resilient networks for mirroring of data.nnThe Internet has been one of the great equalizers in human history and a real accelerator of innovation. But the increasing consolidation of control is a threat to that.nnIPFS remains true to the original vision of the open and flat web, but delivers the technology which makes that vision a reality.nnDeveloping world. Offline. Natural disasters. Intermittent connections. All trivial compared to interplanetary networking. The networks we're using are so 20th Century. We can do better.nnIPFS powers the creation of diversely resilient networks which enable persistent availability with or without Internet backbone connectivity.nnIPFS aims to replace HTTP and build a better web for all of us.
