Fix #139: Decentralized Storage Integration

This PR implements comprehensive decentralized storage integration for the Verinode project, supporting both IPFS and Arweave networks with advanced features like redundancy, content addressing, and permanent storage options.

🎯 Overview

Implements Issue #139 - Decentralized Storage Integration with the following key features:

  • ✅ IPFS integration for distributed file storage
  • ✅ Arweave integration for permanent storage
  • ✅ Content addressing with CID generation
  • ✅ Automatic redundancy and replication
  • ✅ Storage cost optimization and monitoring
  • ✅ Fast retrieval with caching layers
  • ✅ Storage verification and integrity checks
  • ✅ Integration with existing proof system
  • ✅ User-friendly storage management interface
  • ✅ Performance optimization for large files
