Decentralized Storage

Summary

Decentralized storage is a method of storing data across multiple locations, rather than on a centralized server, enhancing data security and availability.

Detailed Description

Decentralized storage systems distribute data across a network of nodes, ensuring that no single entity controls the entire storage system. This approach increases redundancy, enhances security against data loss or corruption, and often results in lower costs. Technologies like IPFS (InterPlanetary File System), Filecoin, and Sia exemplify decentralized storage.
