VOD Blockchain: A decentralized video streaming platform (dApp) using IPFS

IPFS is a distributed technology which is more economical than blockchain storage.

Video streaming platforms such as YouTube, Vimeo, and Dailymotion are both a boon and bane in our lives, as this privilege comes bundled with the responsibility of user privacy and data. Video streaming platforms store data in a server that is vulnerable to crashes. Decentralized applications, on the other hand utilize blockchain technology, which is a series of blocks connected sequentially. These transactions remain immutable. Thus security is enhanced. Binance Smart Chain based applications are decentralized. Distributed storage reduces the cost of server-side hardware and increases data availability. IPFS (Interplanetary le system), a peer to peer hypermedia protocol, stores immutable data, removes duplication and obtains address information for storage nodes to search for less in the network. We have also used a collaborative IPFS cluster along with the traditional IPFS system.
