IPFS at Web Scale
summary
IPFS hits ~200k DHT nodes and maybe ~1M gateway users but not web scale versus ~1.88B websites; Storacha claims a path to billions by splitting roles into simple resources: Storacha hot storage as raw hard‑drive nodes, separate dag index (CAR/UnixFS/IPLD) for lookups, and retrieval/indexer layers with regional caches. Authorization uses UCAN self‑delegation so capabilities and receipts travel with requests. Prototype retrieval and service‑worker gateways work but first‑load in browsers and partial‑verify video (need BLAKE3 support) remain unsolved.
