The Filecoin Foundation and Lockheed Martin Space have successfully transmitted data in space using a version of the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) on a satellite orbiting Earth. The system enhances privacy and security by identifying data based on content rather than location. This technology reduces delays and compensates for data corruption caused by radiation. The Foundation governs the decentralized storage protocol Filecoin (FIL), with a total market capitalization of approximately $1.8 billion. Interest in decentralized storage is growing, with potential military applications being explored. The IPFS uses a distributed architecture to store multiple copies of data, improving reliability in data transmission.
