IPFS & Filecoin 101
summary
Explains how IPFS uses content-addressed hashes and libp2p to serve files peer-to-peer (like a next‑gen BitTorrent) and how Filecoin pays storage providers so infrastructure scales; cites ~3600+ storage providers across 40+ countries, ~$147M pledged collateral, ~6M CIDs and hundreds of petabytes (approaching an exabyte) stored. Shows tooling that works today: NFT.Storage, Web3.Storage, Estuary, Fleek and Pinata, and a live runtime: FVM with ~75k active wallets and ~900+ deployed contracts.
