IPFS Cluster provides data orchestration across a swarm of IPFS daemons by allocating, replicating and tracking a global pinset distributed among multiple peers. IPFS has given the users the power of content-addressed storage. The permanent web requires, however, a data redundancy and availability solution that does not compromise on the distributed nature of the IPFS Network. IPFS Cluster is a distributed application that works as a sidecar to IPFS peers, maintaining a global cluster pinset and intelligently allocating its items to the IPFS peers. ...

...The problem I had with the existing tools is that they rely on a limited set of servers to orchestrate peer matching and data relaying which poses a centralization concern. Many of the usual centralization vs. decentralization arguments apply here, e.g. the servers are single points of failure, the service operator has the power over whom to serve and whom not, etc. Further, as this recent issue in croc shows, this is a real risk for the sustainable operation of the provided service.

...One that is community-operated, privacy-respecting, and completely open source. Multiverse builds on top of the libp2p and IPFS projects to provide a decentralized code-hosting network. Decentralized networks shift the power from service providers to the users in the form of data ownership. Data ownership and data portability are the two core factors that will drive innovation on the Multiverse network. Switching service providers is completely transparent as none of your data is trapped behind a walled garden.

...(The validators take turns to generate blocks, and a validator which has generated a block is considered the validation leader of that block.) Therefore, the increase in mining time caused in this way has nothing to do with the actual computing power.
