IPFS Pinning Service

Irreversibility in crypto terminology refers to the permanent nature of blockchain transactions, where once confirmed, they cannot be altered or undone.

IPFS Pinning Service refers to a method for ensuring that data stored on the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) remains accessible and persistent. IPFS is a decentralized file storage protocol that allows users to store and share files across a distributed network.In IPFS, files are split into smaller pieces, and their locations are identified by unique content hashes. However, files may become unavailable if the original user goes offline or deletes the data. This is where pinning comes in.A pinning service maintains copies of specific IPFS files, ensuring they stay online and accessible even if the original uploader is not available. Users typically pay a fee for this service, which is provided by third-party platforms. By using a pinning service, users can ensure that important data—like images, documents, or applications—remains retrievable and reliable for others in the network.Pinning services play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity and availability of the decentralized content that IPFS enables.
