The InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) is a protocol, hypermedia and file sharing peer-to-peer network for storing and sharing data in a distributed file system. IPFS uses content-addressing to uniquely identify each file in a global namespace connecting IPFS hosts.

IPFS can among others replace the location based hypermedia server protocols HTTP and HTTPS to distribute the World Wide Web.
