A file system is a method and data structure used by an operating system to control how data is stored and retrieved. In decentralized computing, this concept extends to distributed networks managing data storage across multiple nodes. These systems organize files and directories, providing mechanisms for access and data integrity. Decentralized file systems often enhance censorship resistance and data availability.
Context
Within the crypto domain, file systems are relevant to decentralized storage projects that aim to provide alternatives to centralized cloud services. A key discussion point concerns the performance and cost efficiency of these distributed systems for large-scale data storage. Future developments include improvements in data retrieval speeds and the integration of these systems with various blockchain applications.
