Abstract
Decentralized file storage systems have emerged as a promising solution for secure, censorship-resistant storage and sharing of digital content. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of decentralized file storage systems, with a focus on the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) and Filecoin. The paper begins by discussing the limitations of centralized file storage systems, such as vulnerability to data breaches and censorship. It then explores the principles and architecture of IPFS, highlighting its key features, including content addressing, peer-to-peer networking, and versioning.
Next, the paper examines the Filecoin network, which incentivizes users to provide storage space and bandwidth in exchange for Filecoin tokens. The economic model of Filecoin is discussed, along with its potential impact on the future of decentralized storage. The paper also evaluates the security and reliability of IPFS and Filecoin, comparing them to traditional cloud storage solutions.
Furthermore, the paper investigates the challenges and future directions of decentralized file storage systems, including scalability, incentivization mechanisms, and integration with existing web technologies. Finally, the paper concludes with a discussion on the implications of decentralized file storage for digital content creators, users, and the broader internet ecosystem.
