 IPFS uses **content-addressing** instead of location-addressing. When you add a file to IPFS, it is given a unique cryptographic hash called a Content Identifier (CID). This means that the content itself determines its address, making it verifiable and permanent.

 # Storage Integrations
 
-Polkadot provides developers with a variety of decentralized storage solutions to manage dApp data, host frontends, and store large files in a censorship-resistant and resilient manner. These integrations are essential for building fully decentralized applications, ensuring that all components of your dApp, from the front-end to the data, are not reliant on centralized servers.
