Decentralized Storage
Every asset registered on IPBLOCK is stored using decentralized storage, ensuring that your content remains accessible, tamper-proof, and resistant to censorship.
We use IPFS (InterPlanetary File System), a peer-to-peer file storage protocol designed for permanence and transparency. This means your work doesn’t rely on any centralized server or single point of failure.
Powered by Pinata Cloud
To ensure speed, reliability, and stability across the IPFS network, IPBLOCK integrates with Pinata Cloud, a trusted IPFS infrastructure provider.
Pinata helps us:
Efficiently upload and pin assets to IPFS
Maintain reliable uptime and file availability
Manage content metadata and access control
Even though Pinata provides infrastructure, the content remains decentralized and verifiable through the IPFS hash.
What Gets Stored
The following data is stored on IPFS through Pinata:
The original asset you uploaded (e.g. image, music, file)
The generated PDF certificate (with asset hash, timestamp, wallet, license)
Any extra metadata linked to your IPBLOCK registration
Each file is attached to a unique IPFS hash, which acts as its fingerprint and can be used to verify the file's authenticity.
Why Decentralized Storage Matters
Permanent access: Your IP stays online and verifiable, even if IPBLOCK goes offline
Proof of originality: IPFS hashes guarantee that content hasn’t been altered
Censorship-resistant: No centralized host can delete or modify your content
Interoperable: Assets can be accessed and shared across platforms that support IPFS
Decentralized storage is core to IPBLOCK’s mission: your work is yours forever, accessible globally, and protected by code, not just policy.
