- **Addressing data with CIDs** (also known as merklizing): taking arbitrary data and encoding so its addressable by CID. For example, given a file and encoding it so it can be addressed by a CID.

- **Retrieving data by CID**: given a CID, IPFS finds providers (peers who share the block), connects to them, fetches the blocks, and verifies.
