Abstract

The rapid expansion of blockchain-based Decentralized Applications (DApps) has intensified challenges related to scalable, secure, and cost-efficient data storage, as conventional on-chain storage is unsuitable for large data volumes due to high gas costs and performance limitations, while centralized off-chain solutions undermine decentralization and increase security risks. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of integrating the IPFS as a decentralized storage layer within an Ethereum-based DApp architecture to enhance scalability, data integrity, and operational efficiency. Using an experimental systems engineering approach, a fully functional DApp prototype was developed by integrating a React.js frontend, Ethereum smart contracts written in Solidity, and a local IPFS node for off-chain file storage. Empirical performance testing was conducted to measure file upload and retrieval latency, CID (Content Identifier) consistency, smart contract execution time, and gas consumption on the Ethereum testnet. The results demonstrate that IPFS integration significantly reduces on-chain storage load while maintaining strong data integrity, as evidenced by 100% CID consistency across all test scenarios. Although upload and retrieval times increased proportionally with file size, the system achieved success rates above 95% with stable performance, while gas costs remained low because only CIDs were recorded on-chain. These findings indicate that IPFS provides a scalable, secure, and cost-efficient decentralized storage solution for blockchain-based DApps, enabling the development of more data-intensive and resilient DApps, with future research opportunities focusing on incentive-based pinning mechanisms, advanced encryption, and cross-chain storage integration.

Abstract

The rapid growth of data volume and complexity in modern urban environments has created a critical need for storage systems that are secure, scalable, and resilient. This background emphasizes the urgency of adaptive data infrastructure to support smart city development. This study aims to provide a comprehensive SWOT analysis of decentralized storage in strengthening smart city data infrastructure. A qualitative descriptive-analytical approach is employed, using systematic literature review and document analysis to identify key internal and external strategic factors. The findings reveal key strengths, including enhanced data security, high resilience, and scalability. However, weaknesses such as implementation complexity, latency issues, and dependency on network stability are also noted. Opportunities lie in the integration with Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystems, growing public awareness of data privacy, and emerging collaborative economic models. Meanwhile, threats include regulatory ambiguity, lack of standardization, and evolving cybersecurity risks. This study contributes a strategic framework to assist policymakers, urban planners, and technology stakeholders in integrating decentralized storage systems into smart city architectures. In alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) and Goal 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure), the research highlights the importance of secure, inclusive, and adaptive digital infrastructure in advancing sustainable urban development.
