How to incorporate decentralized storage into your workflow
Emerging technologies, such as the InterPlanetary FileSystem (IPFS), can contribute to an ecosystem that is more verifiable and open. Since IPFS relies on content identifiers (CIDs) which are a hash of the content, you can be confident that the returned data is correct. In addition, IPFS is an open and public network. So anybody can access content on the network if they have the correct CID.
One project I am particularly excited about is web3.storage, which is a free service that reduces the friction of using decentralized storage.
In this post, I will …
- Provide an introduction to web3.storage and how to set it up
- Provide examples of basic CRUD operations with IPFS in Python
- Describe my current solution to create a decentralized data repository
Our aim today is to provide a user-friendly experience that massively…
