Distributed Storage with IPFS

OmniBazaar uses IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) to store your marketplace listings, keeping data distributed and censorship-resistant.

What is IPFS?

IPFS is a peer-to-peer network for storing and sharing data. Unlike centralized servers, your content is distributed across many nodes worldwide.

Benefits for Users

Your listings load fast from nearby nodes
No single point of failure
Censorship-resistant content
Lower costs than centralized hosting

How It Works

When you create a listing, your photos and description are uploaded to IPFS. Multiple validators store copies, ensuring your content stays available even if some nodes go offline.
