## IPFS Concepts

When working with IPFS, it can be helpful to have an understanding of basic IPFS concepts. We've put together a few guides that give a brief overview on some of these concepts.

Filebase offers a public IPFS gateway for testing and development purposes. Dedicated gateways are included and available to users with paid subscriptions.

All content stored on IPFS through Filebase can be accessed through a Filebase gateway with faster response times than accessing the content through any other gateway. This is because the Filebase gateways peer directly with our IPFS nodes.
