InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) technology is developing along with the better quality and adoption of blockchain technology at the business level and a number of industrial sectors. Using IPFS allows data to be distributed across nodes in the network. By using IPFS, data is more secure than the centralized data storage and distribution.

IPFS technology is a special network so that content on the Internet can be distributed peer-to-peer. In this case, all node roles are equivalent for storing and verifying data. IPFS is also very compatible with all digital file formats that exist today, ranging from images, video streams, databases, including operating systems.

In IPFS, a group of files will be stored in blocks. Each node will store some files including the unique data (finger print) of each file. This is useful to make it easier for other users to read the file.

A higher level of data security at IPFS is possible, because the data is “chopped up” in small units, encrypted and distributed to network nodes. Because it applies a peer-to-peer system, when a node (node ​​in the form of a server computer) goes out, the downloaded data is provided by a number of other active nodes.

Relying on IPFS systems will further empower distributed commerce processes, enable high-speed data transmission and increase network compatibility. Besides coordinating tasks in a business context it is easier.

With the various advantages of IPFS technology above, the TAU coin team is implementing this IPFS in the latest version of the TAU coin.
Finally solved the Stuck issue in the new 1905 version, which was due to blocks downloading eg sequence. The TAU coin team is upgrading the speed after this version. Key steps are simplify the reward distribution by only miners getting the reward. The three parties reward scripts overloaded the mobile phone resources. They hope the 1906 version later will give TAU coin users a very fast verification speed without any stuck. The TAU coin team has been studying android development to enable the full nodes blockchain. They shall control the resources of cell phones very carefully to provide stability. IPFS, which is being developed by the TAU coin team into their coin, clearly no body is doing a blockchain with native ipfs support, plus they apply it to Android. IPFS on android is very young. Even so, the team has high confidence that with careful design and work learned from past 3 months, the TAU coin team will be able to solve the challenge.
