Technology

IPFS Infrastructure Platform

Pinion is built on cutting-edge distributed systems technology to provide reliable, scalable, and trustless IPFS infrastructure for modern applications.

Core Technologies

IPFS Protocol

Built on the InterPlanetary File System protocol for content-addressed, peer-to-peer hypermedia distribution.

Content Addressing

Uses cryptographic hashes (CIDs) to ensure data integrity and enable trustless verification of content.

Distributed Storage

Data is replicated across multiple nodes for high availability and resilience against failures.

Gateway Network

Global network of IPFS gateways providing fast HTTP access to pinned content worldwide.

Platform Architecture

Standard Pinning Service Features

Industry-standard IPFS pinning and gateway services that work exactly as expected, providing reliable compatibility with existing IPFS tooling and workflows.

Pinning Service

RESTful API compatible with IPFS Pinning Service specification.

  • Pin request queuing and status tracking
  • Metadata management and search
  • Webhook notifications for status updates
  • Rate limiting and quota management
Gateway Service

High-performance HTTP gateways with intelligent caching.

  • Multi-tier caching strategy
  • Range request support
  • Content-type negotiation
  • Geographic distribution

Pinion Tech

Our innovative technologies that go beyond standard pinning services, providing next-generation IPFS infrastructure capabilities.

Upload Service

The missing write service for IPFS - providing the writable counterpart to the familiar IPFS gateway service.

  • Multi-root CAR file processing
  • Automatic pin creation and tracking
  • Pub/Sub messaging for real-time updates
  • Content deduplication
Minion Network

The future of decentralized pinning. Unlike highly centralized pinning services, Pinion's Minion Network enables users to participate directly in the operation of the pinning service.

  • Community-operated nodes with verifiable storage proofs
  • Cryptographic verification of pin availability and integrity
  • Incentive mechanisms for network participants
  • Decentralized consensus on storage reliability
  • Geographic distribution through volunteer operators
  • Transparent network health and participation metrics
