What is IPFS?
Mainnet

IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) is a decentralized, peer-to-peer protocol that stores and shares data based on content addressing—meaning files are identified by their cryptographic hash rather than a location or URL. As a developer, you'll appreciate that IPFS enables open, verifiable, and resilient data storage across distributed networks. It's used for censorship-resistant archives, efficient game content delivery, permanent digital art storage, and transparent data sharing in Web3. With support for Go, Rust, JavaScript, and more, IPFS empowers developers to build applications that are fault-tolerant and scalable, with a growing ecosystem of tools and community-driven innovation.
