Working with Ethereum storage
In Chapter 5, Deep Research and Latest Developments in Ethereum, we provided a high-level overview of different decentralized data and storage solutions in Ethereum, including IPFS and Swamp. In this section, we will delve into more detail and review some steps to get started with some of the most popular decentralized solutions.
In the current cloud-based data storage model, data is centralized and stored on servers owned by a cloud vendor. Access to the data is provided via location-based addressing, and the vendor assumes responsibility for the various background processes and operations. By utilizing the vendor’s services, users can upload their data to a cloud server and establish a data recovery strategy to ensure availability.
With a security access policy, data encryption, and other approaches, you can secure your data in cloud storage. The centralized storage solution makes data easier to manage, scale, and secure. However, because...
