Cherry is a layer-one blockchain infrastructure bridging smart contracts and distributed file storage. Build dynamic decentralized applications able to natively read and write data to IPFS, trustlessly.Built on Substrate, it implements state of the art cryptographic standards to provide for second layer scalability (zkSNARKs), and features a node-level IPFS integration that allows the Cherry Virtual Machine to natively interface with an indexed queryable data storage and referencing facility.
