Abstract

In today's digital era, safeguarding data is crucial, but traditional centralized storage systems are vulnerable to hacking and lack transparency. Enter blockchain technology, a decentralized solution offering immutable file storage. Instead of relying on a single authority, data is spread across a network, enhancing security and resilience. Each file is divided, encrypted, and distributed across multiple nodes, making tampering nearly impossible. Smart contracts automate transactions, reducing costs and increasing efficiency. Blockchain's immutable nature ensures data integrity, crucial for sensitive applications like healthcare and supply chain management. Challenges like scalability and regulation exist but are being addressed. In conclusion, blockchain file storage offers enhanced security, transparency, and trust, poised to revolutionize data management.
