Web3 Storage
Also known as: Decentralized Storage, Blockchain File Storage, Distributed Web Storage
Decentralized file storage systems that allow users to store and retrieve data on blockchain-based networks.
Web3 storage refers to decentralized systems for storing data across peer-to-peer blockchain-based networks. Unlike traditional cloud storage, Web3 storage platforms distribute data among nodes using cryptographic hashing and content addressing, improving censorship resistance and data permanence. Protocols like IPFS, Filecoin, Arweave, and Storj offer various models for on-chain and off-chain storage. Web3 storage is used for NFTs, dApps, smart contract metadata, DAOs, and user files—bridging blockchain logic with real-world data needs.
