Why Do Developers Prefer BTFS Decentralized Storage System?

BitTorrent File System (BTFS) is a next-generation file-sharing protocol within the BitTorrent ecosystem and a pioneer in the decentralized storage industry.

In a centralized storage system, data are stored within a single system. The entity or organization operating the system manages and controls data access, upon which users rely to retrieve data.

In comparison, in a decentralized storage system, data are stored across multiple nodes, and no single node can control them all. Each node stores part of the data and has access to data on other nodes. Users can retrieve data from multiple nodes instead of a single centralized controller node.

A centralized storage system can be easily managed and controlled, but it is vulnerable to a single point of failure. If a certain element of a centralized storage system malfunctions, all of the data stored within the system are at risk of compromise. Decentralized storage offers greater resistance to censorship and blocking, thereby enhancing data security and privacy protection.

By uploading files through BTFS, users can store and share them efficiently with security assured.
