[@chathuraahangama389]

The issue i have is that IPFS says in the website that they are not storage providers.they are just a protocol.i understanding has stuck on "then how we can tokenized a asset like song or image".hope an answer from someone.i have really stuck there.

👀 wen QuickNode Arweave?

[@lyliaml42]

Is IPFS like a one huge storage database for all blockchain say, solana and etherrum? Wherein I can query file or something?
Or is it different from blockchain to blockchaij or project to project?

[@QuickNode]

It's an entirely different network from blockchain. IPFS has its own decentralized network, which runs on IPFS nodes.

[@gingergun7413]

Is there any option to run a own ipfs node in quicknode

[@QuickNode]

You do not need a dedicated node. When you use QuickNode's IPFS service, you get a unique API key using and also a dedicated access via the dashboard to QuickNode's IPFS infrastructure using which you can upload files without worrying about running your own nodes.

How does IPFS deal with hash collisions?

[@QuickNode]

Because the hashes are generated using SHA256, one would have to generate 2^128 different files to find a single collision so it's very unlikely for a collision to happen. But they are working on newer techniques to prevent this in future too. More on this discuss.ipfs.tech/t/what-to-do-in-case-of-hash-collision/482
