Examples include photos, fine art, concept drawings, mechanical drawings and much more... Audio files such as MP3s and WAVs. Examples include songs, beats, melodies, sound samples, audio samples and much more... Video files such as MP4s and AVI files. Examples include short or full-length films, short-form or proprietary content, how-to videos and much more... 3D models and other digital assets for virtual and augmented reality experiences. Examples include digital renders for proprietary characters, inventions, worlds, apparel and much more... Software and code files such as JAVA, C++ and python scripts. Examples include proprietary code, SDK's, custom applications, mods, software and much more

InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) is a peer-to-peer file sharing protocol that can be used in conjunction with a blockchain to store and share digital files. IPFS allows you to store large files in a more cost-effective and efficient way than storing them directly on a blockchain, which is not optimized for large data storage. When you store a file on IPFS, it is broken down into smaller chunks and each chunk is given a unique cryptographic hash. These hashes are then used to form a Merkle DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph), which allows for efficient storage and retrieval of the file. By using IPFS, you can take advantage of the decentralized nature of the file storage, so that files can be retrieved from multiple peers on the network, rather than relying on a centralized server. This makes IPFS highly resilient to failures and censorship, allowing for more reliable and faster file retrieval. IPFS also allows you to set up a Content Addressable System (CAS), this means that the files can be retrieved using the cryptographic hash of the file, rather than using a traditional URL. This is important when storing files on the blockchain, as it allows you to store the cryptographic hash of the file on the blockchain, instead of the file itself, which can be very large. Another benefit of using IPFS is that it allows you to store files in a more private way. By encrypting the files before storing them on IPFS, you can ensure that the files are only accessible to those who have the correct encryption key. Combining the use of IPFS and a blockchain can allow for a more efficient and cost-effective way of storing and sharing files on a decentralized network, while also providing an immutable and tamper-proof record of the files that have been stored.
