Safeguard to protect ownership against fraud and manipulation.

Adopt decentralized storage networks (DSNs) such as the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) and Filecoin to store ownership documents. These platforms distribute data across a network of nodes, eliminating single points of failure and reducing the risk of data tampering. By leveraging cryptographic techniques and decentralized architectures, these systems ensure that documents remain immutable and accessible only to authorized parties. The paper “Blockchain-Based Decentralized Storage Systems for Sustainable Data Management” provides a comprehensive analysis of DSNs, focusing on components like Proof of Storage protocols and consensus mechanisms. It highlights how platforms like Filecoin, built on IPFS, allow users to rent out unused storage space in a decentralized marketplace, ensuring transaction transparency and data security. The study emphasizes the importance of such systems in creating a more efficient and resilient internet by addressing challenges related to data integrity and availability.
