The current internet relies on a few large companies to store almost all of the world’s data, which creates a huge risk for censorship and data breaches. Decentralized storage is a new model where files are encrypted, broken into small pieces, and spread across a global network of independent computers. No single person has a full copy of your file, and only you hold the keys to put it back together. This makes the data almost impossible to hack or take down. People who provide storage space on their computers are rewarded with tokens, creating a global marketplace for digital storage that is cheaper and more secure than traditional cloud services. This technology is a critical piece of the Web 3.0 infrastructure, ensuring that the future of the internet is not just decentralized in how we trade, but also in how we store our most important information.
