One of the features of the Every Media Platform is that it use Inter-Planetary File System (IPFS). This system provides a block storage model which has high throughput by using content addressed hyperlink.
I know that this has a form of generalized Merkle DAG which is a reference structure; Merkle DAG can build a version-controlled file system, a blockchain, and a permanent Web-page. IPFS is combined of the dispersed hash table and the self-certified namespace. IPFS does not have any single failure-point, and each node does not have to confidence in each other.
How does it work?
Instead of pointing to a specific server when importing the created objects in the media platform such as photos, texts, and videos, IPFS searches the hashes of files to seek for something.
Wow, it is something new!
And the basic idea is that requesting a file with the same hash across the entire network will cause the other IPFS node to return the file, when a browser wants to access a specific file.
What are the benefits from it?
