Description

This talk proposes a strategic shift in the operating model for Basic Services: the integration of a distributed storage network layer based on the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS). By decoupling the data layer from the application layer, the NFDI can ensure that the “Basic” in Basic Services refers not only to the functionality provided but to the fundamental, sustainable stability of the data itself.
