Abstract

The rapid expansion of digital ecosystems has highlighted the limitations of centralized data storage systems, which often struggle with data loss, censorship, and single points of failure. To address these challenges, this study explores the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) as a decentralized data management solution that enhances security, availability, and sustainability in distributed information environments. Using the IPFS-KI framework, a descriptive qualitative methodology, this research examines the architectural design, operational mechanisms, and real-world implementations of IPFS. Through literature analysis, node simulations, and case based evaluation, the study investigates IPFS performance in maintaining data integrity, fault tolerance, and resilience against network disruptions and censorship. The findings reveal that IPFS provides improved data reliability, transparency, and scalability compared to conventional centralized architectures, although certain limitations remain in terms of node stability and hidden centralization. This study contributes to a broader understanding of how decentralized storage technologies like IPFS can support the development of more secure, equitable, and sustainable digital infrastructures.
