Scionic Merkle DAG branches are much smaller than IPFS Merkle DAG branches. The gains grow as the number of files in a folder grow, as the stats above demonstrate. nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx
Scionic Merkle DAGs are actually much better than IPFS Merkle DAGs.
Plus, IPFS focuses on a P2P model that forces everyone to become a server — whereas Nostr is a user-server model with paid servers.
Specifically, Scionic Merkle DAGs have much smaller branches with far fewer useless hashes needed to create the same proof. It scales logarithmically, see stats below: https://github.com/HORNET-Storage/scionic-merkletree
