Decentralized storage protects the integrity, accessibility, and security of data by spreading the hosting of files across a peer-to-peer network. Centralized storage systems hold your data in large servers, but this can incur the risk of censorship, data loss, or information theft. By sharing storage responsibilities among different participants, decentralized storage services provide a robust and secure method of storing information. The race to find blockchain technology’s killer app is on. Smart contracts, decentralized finance (DeFi), payments networks, non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are some of the most exciting use-cases coming out of the blockchain industry.
