InterPlanetary File System~(IPFS) is one of the most promising decentralized
off-chain storage mechanisms, particularly relevant for blockchains, aiming to
store the content forever, thus it is crucial to understand its composition,
deduce actor intent and investigate its operation and impact. Beyond the
network functionality that IPFS offers, assessing the quality of nodes, i.e.
analysing and categorising node software and data, is essential to mitigate
possible risks and exploitation of IPFS. To this end, in this work we took
three daily …
