IPFS-tiny: attempting to take IPFS to Space

The Libre Space Foundation (LSF) is developing IPFS-tiny, a smaller adaptation of the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) designed for limited-resource devices such as satellites and spacecraft. The project aims to bring IPFS, which utilizes a distributed architecture for decentralized and resilient data storage and access, to space. The implementation of IPFS-tiny in space could greatly enhance the exchange, sharing, and access of data and potentially transform the way we think about and access data online.
