[NODE 39: THE IPFS VAULT // INFINITE MEMORY]
> Decentralized Content ID (CID) generated...
> Distributing shards across Global Nodes...
> Immutable Storage: LOCKED.
Centralized clouds (Google, AWS, iCloud) are silos that can be censored or deleted. The IPFS Vault is the library of the Sovereign. Once your music, art, or patents are uploaded here, they exist as a Content Identifier (CID)—a digital fingerprint that cannot be altered.
> THE CREATOR SHIELD:
In the 2026 RCS Model, your Stripe Payment (Node 09) triggers an automatic pin to this Vault. This creates Permanence. Even if the main website goes down, your assets remain accessible via any IPFS gateway on the planet.
KNOWLEDGE QUERY: "What is the difference between a URL and a CID?"
RESULT: A URL tells you WHERE a file is (easy to break). A CID tells you WHAT the file is (impossible to fake).
