IPFS support in DAML
Can we use IPFS protocol with DAML for Data storage?
Are you referring to IPFS as the InterPlanetary File System - Wikipedia?
Yes @Ben_M
In that case, no.
I have searched extensively for any link to IPFS & Daml or IPFS & Digital Asset with no results.
As this is an interesting question about a powerful protocol, I will make further enquiries internally and see if one of the DA Engineers can provide a more practical answer.
Yes because I try to find it by myself as well. But couldn’t find anything relevant regarding this.
In theory, it is possible to connect IPFS storage but you will need to build an integration for it, as there is no ‘out of the box’ feature for attachments. This is a similar concept as if you wanted to attach files (Images/Text) to a contract, which has been raised before.
There is a comprehensive post titled
On Attachments: What you should and shouldn’t store on a ledger and you should read it thoroughly to see what is possible, but more importantly what is practical in terms of modifying your contracts.
Hope this helps.
