Decentralized File Storage: Leveraging Blockchain, Polygon, Web3, and IPFS

Abstract

Decentralized file storage has emerged as a transformative solution to address the challenges of centralized data storage, offering enhanced security, privacy, and resilience in the digital age. This research paper explores the significance of decentralized file storage systems and examines the technologies involved, including blockchain, Polygon, Web3, IPFS, and MetaMask. Through a comprehensive analysis of the architecture, implementation details, security considerations, performance evaluations, and real-world applications, key findings highlight the advantages of decentralized storage solutions over traditional centralized counterparts. The research underscores the importance of decentralization in fostering data sovereignty, transparency, and inclusivity, while offering insights into the potential impact on various industries and scenarios.
