Enhanced Security

One of the most compelling reasons for the shift towards decentralized data storage is the enhanced security it offers. Traditional centralized data storage systems store data in single or multiple central points, which makes them a prime target for hackers and malicious actors. Once a central system is compromised, the data it holds is at risk.

In contrast, decentralized storage systems distribute data across a network of nodes, often globally. This means that even if some nodes are compromised, the integrity and security of the overall data remain intact. Each piece of data is encrypted and stored in multiple, redundant nodes, ensuring that no single point of failure can compromise the data's security.
