ipfs VS graph-node

> CDNs

If you think IPFS is trying to "re-spin CDNs as their invention", I'm pretty sure you misunderstand what IPFS. The homepage is a great starting point if you're curious rather than antagonistic: https://ipfs.tech/

> IPFS doesn't solve persistence of data

I don't think it claims to solve this either? What it does claim to solve is the persistence of identifiers of data.

> doesn't solve churn in p2p systems

What P2P system has ever done so or even claimed to have done so?

We will create a web app that will let users mint a NFT in one click: creating an AI art from a prompt, storing it on IPFS and mint the unique NFT in Polygon so you can see it on OpenSea. Pretty cool right ?

IPFS, which stands for Inter-Planetary File System, is a decentralized storage system where files are distributed among peers in a peer-to-peer (P2P) network. It operates on a "content addressable" model, meaning that each file is given a unique hash that serves as its identifier. By using this hash, you can retrieve any file from any IPFS node in the network.

Was thinking of something and figured it would be a good opportunity to ask here. With the censorship madness going on in the world and furry community included, I often worry if even places like e621 can remain free and open in the face of increasing pressure by increasingly angry and authoritarian crowds. For both this and other geek reasons I've been interested in decentralized internet technology for a long time, following projects like IFPS which I just love as a concept.

Using the Interplanetary File System, a real thing that exists today, designed for this purpose.

I post a lot about IPFS, I was using the 'ipfs mount' to virtually offer my entire collection from my NAS (on a private 'swarm' of course) to the remote stations.

A subgraph according to The Graph (which is a decentralized protocol for indexing and querying blockchain data) is a custom API built on blockchain data. They are queried using the GraphQL query language and are deployed to a Graph Node using the Graph CLI.

Event is a log entity which EVM smart contracts can emit during transaction execution. Events are very good at signalling that an some action has taken place on-chain. Applications can subscribe and listen to events to trigger some off-chain logic or they can index, transform and store events in some off-chain storage (look at The Graph protocol or Ethereum ETL).

https://github.com/scaffold-eth/scaffold-eth-2 this repo comes with wagmi and hard hat preconfigured you can use it as a sample , but if you are large querying data I would advise you the graph https://thegraph.com/

The Graph

There are also decentralized network services like The Graph or Pocket Network that provide decentralized access to Ethereum and other blockchain networks. Note that these services primarily provide APIs for querying blockchain data, and may not provide full functionality for sending transactions or executing smart contracts like a full Ethereum node or services like Infura and Alchemy.

For read-only the way to use The Graph

See it for yourself.

thegraph.com is the only site operated by The Graph Foundation, and is the centrepiece for all activity on the protocol. Can a website/web dApp be hacked? Yes. Has it been hacked in the past two years since it launched? No.

Check out TheGraph, most of DEX has a subgraph indexing data
