What if AI could help manage your files? Not only on your computer, but in the cloud too? What if not only could it create content, but operate with file storage to upload it, then perhaps share it to socials or create a t-shirt? We can all agree that AI

The InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) is the most well-known and most used of the decentralized file storage protocols. It was created by Protocol Labs, the same company that designed and launched Filecoin. While Filecoin can complement IPFS, it introduces a consensus layer that significantly increases complexity and cost. Similarly, Arweave

Monad is a quickly approaching L1 blockchain that has been getting a lot of attention lately. Its testnet is already thriving with transactions and builders racing to use it. This blockchain features new approaches to processing transactions, including parallel execution and the MonadBFT. Monad boasts a mind-blowing 10,000 TPS,

IPFS has been the go-to offchain storage method for thousands of crypto and blockchain applications. Its combination of content addressability, immutability, and decentralization has made it ideal for referencing data that is too large to be stored onchain. While it does meet the needs of many applications, it does fall

OK, maybe sucked is too strong a word, but we definitely lost our way there for a bit. Our original API was purpose built to be as easy to use as possible. Our co-founder and CTO hated the complexity of a lot of the APIs he was using, and he

IPFS has become the default choice for offchain storage when building crypto and blockchain applications. Its ability to run as a distributed network and its content addressability has made it versatile and portable. Applications using IPFS generally need to be able to do two things: 1. Upload / pin files to

Optimism and OP Stack-based rollups enable high-throughput applications to run on scalable Layer 2 chains with fast finality. But alongside speed and specialized blockspace comes an essential challenge—secure and censorship-resistant data availability (DA). Below, we explore why IPFS (in combination with Pinata as a pinning service) offers a robust

Base AppChains enable high-throughput applications to run on dedicated rollups with near-instant withdrawals. But with great speed and specialized blockspace comes an equally important challenge—secure, resilient, and tamper-proof data storage. Below we’ll explore why IPFS (in combination with Pinata as a pinning service) is an ideal data availability

Running IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) locally, on a Raspberry Pi for example, is relatively straightforward. You can even deploy an IPFS node to a cloud provider without much difficulty. We wrote about doing this as part of having a remote node that syncs with Pinata as your persistence layer. This
