IPFS Utilization

Architecture

The InterPlanetary File System functions as a decentralized storage layer for cryptographically signed financial datasets and derivative contract specifications. By hosting historical order books and high-frequency trade logs on a content-addressed network, market participants mitigate reliance on centralized cloud providers that create single points of failure. This peer-to-peer distribution model ensures data availability during systemic exchange outages, preserving the integrity of audit trails for complex derivatives.
