- Decentralized storage: IPFS allows for decentralized storage of documents, which
means that the documents are stored on multiple nodes rather than on a central server.
This makes it harder for the documents to be lost or tampered with.
- Immutable records: IPFS creates immutable records of documents, meaning that once
a document is uploaded to IPFS, it cannot be altered. This helps ensure the
authenticity and integrity of the documents.
- Reduced costs: IPFS and Pinata can reduce the costs of issuing certificates and
documents by eliminating the need for expensive infrastructure and maintenance costs
associated with centralized storage. This will reduce the burden for small Institutions.
- Faster and more efficient access: With IPFS, documents can be accessed and shared
more quickly and efficiently, as they can be downloaded from any node in the network.
This project can benefit a wide range of organizations, including educational institutions,
professional associations, and government agencies. For example, an educational
institution can issue digital certificates to students upon completion of a course. These
certificates can be stored on IPFS and pinned to Pinata, making them easily verifiable and
accessible to emplovers and other interested parties.
Overall, using IPFS and Pinata for issuing certificates and documents can provide a more
secure, reliable, and accessible way to store and share important records.
