Although the concept of content-addressing brings a bunch of benefits,
sometimes it’d become unsuitable for cases where it’s necessary to constantly
get the last version of something, since it’d need to get the hash of last version of
the object in another channel.
To solve this problem another protocol, called IPNS, was developed. With the
peerID, the hash of the user's public key, it then became possible to create a
redirect to a specific object.
