Decentralized storage networks enhance data integrity

Claim

Name

Description

Decentralized storage networks in Geo, such as Arweave and IPFS, provide a resilient and tamper-resistant method of data storage. These networks ensure that once data is uploaded, it remains unaltered and consistently verifiable. The use of these networks is crucial in maintaining the integrity of data, making it resistant to censorship and manipulation commonly seen in centralized storage systems.

Quotes that support the claim

"Decentralized storage networks [...] let you store files in a decentralized way on a decentralized network of these storage providers that will store that data or those files for you. They have economic incentives to store that, and what's special about the way we use these in Web3 is that we use content address storage. [...] With content address storage, you have essentially a hash, it's a string of letters and numbers that uniquely identifies that file. And so, if you ask for it, you can verify that the file that you got back is correct. And it also allows you to get that file or that data from any peers that you want."
