IPFS

They are instrumental in storing and retrieving large and decentralized data, such as proofs of plastic recovery and associated media tied to the NFTs. Some of the advantages are:

Decentralized Storage:

Proofs of collection, processing, shipment, and resolution, along with associated images, can be stored on IPFS, ensuring redundancy and availability across the network.

Immutability:

This immutability ensures that proofs remain tamper-resistant and can be reliably referenced using their unique IPFS hash.

Efficient Data Retrieval:

This can enhance the speed of proof verification and reduce latency in accessing associated media.

Scalability:

The decentralized nature of IPFS ensures that the storage capacity scales with the network.

IPFS Hash in Smart Contracts:

Smart contracts can use this hash to verify proofs and associated media during transactions and interactions within the marketplace. s
