One of the benefits of Every Media Platform is that it uses the Inter-Planetary File System (IPFS). This system provides a block storage model that has high throughput through the use of content addressed hyperlink.

I know that it 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 function?

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 really something new!

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?

When loading a file, HTTP is used to indicate the server's address object; because IPFS is in the HTTP layer, it requests a hash object of the file to the entire network, which makes routing much faster than HTTP.
