With the advent of Web 3.0, IPFS will replace HTTP and become the mainstream?

2021.04.24

In recent years, with the all-round development of 5G technology, the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence and other technologies, the global digitalization has come faster. Of course, the Web3.0 era is getting closer and closer to us.

When it comes to Web3.0, everyone will definitely have questions. I don't even know Web2.0 and Web1.0, let alone 3.0. So let's talk about it today: What exactly are Web1.0, 2.0, 3.0? Then we will talk about the magic of Web3.0 after iterated.

01 Distributed storage plays an important role, and it will become a development trend in the future

Readers who have experience in developing programs, or friends who have come into contact with a piece of IT knowledge, should be able to understand the meaning of 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0. Because program development emphasizes iteration, iterative, in the vernacular, is to make the entire system more convenient and stable through continuous updates. In fact, since the birth of the Internet, it has gone through many stages of development, and we have inadvertently changed our lives.




03 National enterprises deploy IPFS to help the development of IPFS

Since the advent of IPFS, many large companies, including countries, have begun to deploy IPFS as their core competitiveness and invest a lot of manpower and material resources in research and development. The two leading leaders of the Internet, Alibaba and Tencent are typical of them.

With the help of new infrastructure, Alibaba Cloud announced that it will invest 200 billion yuan in three years, and Tencent plans to invest about 500 billion yuan in the construction of new infrastructure in the next five years; and blockchain technology, big data centers, and supercomputing centers all involve Related to the layout of distributed storage, IPFS, as the most mature distributed technology at present, can provide more development momentum for the new Internet of Things and artificial intelligence in the 5G era, and in some key areas, such as data privacy, storage security, etc. To make important contributions.

At the same time, Jingdong also joined this queue. Following Alibaba and Tencent, Li Guannan, a technical expert in the JD Finance Blockchain Laboratory, delivered a keynote speech on "Fabric-based Storage Expansion Practice", directly announcing the use of a distributed storage network IPFS+blockchain to solve the problem of difficult storage of large files on the Internet.


In addition to these companies, the country is also proposing its own opinions on IPFS technology. Among them, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television has published the "Notice of the Blockchain Technology Application Series White Paper" on its official website. Yes, filecoin, as the leading project of IPFS, is naturally also loved by investors, and the future will be limitless.

04 Summary

In general, IPFS itself is a transport protocol. In terms of functions, it can achieve: fast file transfer, secure file storage, file tamper-proof, and data value protection. In the long run, distributed storage will surely replace centralized storage, IPFS will surely replace HTTP, and technologies such as the Internet and blockchain will also develop in a direction that is more conducive to people's production and life.
