QuickNode IPFS is a decentralized storage solution that enables users to upload, store, manage, and retrieve data on the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) network. It removes the complexity of running and maintaining IPFS nodes by providing pinning services and dedicated gateways. This service ensures data integrity through content addressing, improves performance by retrieving data from the nearest nodes, and supports public or private gateways with custom domain options. It is designed to empower blockchain developers and Web3 applications by offering scalable, resilient, and secure decentralized data storage.

Key Features

Decentralized Data Storage Enables distributed storage across multiple IPFS nodes, ensuring resilience and security.

• Data is stored on a peer-to-peer network rather than a central server.
• Content addressing with unique cryptographic hashes guarantees data integrity.

Pinning Services Keeps specific files always available on the IPFS network without running your own node.

• User-friendly interface and API for uploading and managing pinned files.
• Ensures high availability and quick access to pinned content.

Dedicated IPFS Gateways Provides HTTP-accessible, read-only access to IPFS content without special software.

• Global edge network delivers content from the nearest or fastest node for speed.
• Option to create public or private gateways tailored to user needs.
• Supports custom domain names for brand consistency.

IPFS REST API Comprehensive API to interact with IPFS for gateway management, pinning, and account metrics.

• Enables programmatic control of file pinning and retrieval.
• Provides bandwidth and storage usage information.

Integration with Web3 and Blockchain Facilitates decentralized application development by integrating IPFS storage with blockchain projects.

• Supports NFTs, gaming, metaverse, and other Web3 use cases.
• Eliminates the need to manage local IPFS nodes.

Benefits

Simplified IPFS Usage Removes the technical overhead of running IPFS nodes and managing infrastructure.

• Upload and pin files via dashboard or API without node maintenance.
• Drag-and-drop file pinning for ease of use.

Enhanced Performance and Reliability Delivers content quickly and reliably from distributed global data centers.

• Automatic replication across multiple nodes for redundancy.
• Reduces bandwidth usage and latency by fetching data from nearest nodes.

Flexible Gateway Options Allows customization of access points to IPFS content.

• Public gateways for open access or private gateways for restricted use.
• Custom domains enhance user experience and branding.

Supports Scalable Web3 Development Provides a robust backend for decentralized applications requiring secure and scalable data storage.

• Ideal for NFT hosting, decentralized gaming, and metaverse projects.
• Bridges Web2 ease-of-use with Web3 decentralization benefits.
