Peer-to-Peer System Design Trade-Offs: A Framework Exploring the Balance between Blockchain and IPFS
The current state of the web, which is dominated by centralized cloud services, raises several concerns regarding different aspects such as governance, privacy, surveillance, and security. A way to address these issues is to decentralize the platforms by adopting new distributed technologies, such a...
