This is the first video in a 3 part series on the Interplanetary File System or IPFS. In this video we’ll explore the theoretical foundations of all the technologies that make IPFS what it is today: hash functions, distributed hash tables, bittorrent, merkle trees and more. The more practical introduction comes after this, but I recommend learning the theory as well.
