Fascinating read! I'm curious, how did you handle scalability issues with IPFS, and did you run into any challenges concerning the gas fees when using Solidity?
sol_hacker 6 months ago next
We built a p2p network of nodes that auto-cache Hubs to tackle IPFS scalability issues. As for the gas fees, we learned to optimize our contract methods and states, keeping it in check. It still gets pricey sometimes, but that's part of the deal with public networks like Ethereum. #web3

Nice to hear a healthier IPFS network has been established. I'm currently having headaches with this as well. Which libraries or packages did you use for the given solution? Would appreciate if you could open-source it someday! #ipfs #solidity

Way to go for utilizing decentralized tech! I think anonymity is an important aspect for the user, and I noticed that you used Zero-Knowledge Proofs. Could you elaborate on their significance and potential limitations?

Zero-Knowledge Proofs indeed play a crucial role in ensuring anonymity and privacy. They help verify claims about data without exposing the data itself. Limitations are usually related to computational complexity and adversarial settings, but we haven't encountered significant problems in our solutions. #security #privacy

Kudos for building something meaningful! Can you explain how self-sovereign identities are managed on your platform? Is there any bridge to familiar identification methods in current systems?

@blockchain_enthusiast Users can manage their identities through DIDs (Decentralized Identifiers) and private keys. Bridges to current systems can be established via VCs (Verifiable Credentials) that any entity, like a government or company, can issue. #selfsovereignty #SSI

Your story piqued my interest in decentralized storage! Do you think your platform's approach can also be applied to other decentralized storage systems, or is it restricted specifically to IPFS?

@newkidontheblock The platform is designed to work with any decentralized storage, which means it can be adapted to any DSN (Decentralized Storage Network), not just IPFS. Explore Filecoin, Storj, and Sia if you want to learn more! #decentralizedstorage

Hats off for leveraging decentralized technologies! Cross-chain interoperability is the foundation of Web 3.0. Have you considered or are you planning to extend your platform for compatibility with popular sidechains or L2 scalability solutions like Polygon, Optimism, or Arbitrum?
