The InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) is a set of composable, peer-to-peer protocols for addressing, routing, and transferring content-addressed data in a decentralized file system. Many popular Web3 projects are built on IPFS - see the ecosystem directory for a list of some of these projects.

No real benefits as I see. IPFS is a transport protocol, you would still need to actually store your data somewhere. IPFS is not a magical harddrive in the sky.

By putting your data on IPFS you will also make it available to everyone on the internet (you might of course encrypt it first but still probably not a great idea)
