DScan contributes significantly to the Open Source Software (OSS) ecosystem by enabling fast, decentralized, and user-friendly file storage and sharing using IPFS (InterPlanetary File System). It solves the problem of complex, technical barriers to IPFS adoption by providing a simple browser extension that allows users to upload files and folders directly to IPFS, without needing to run a local Kubo instance or install extra tools.

DScan adds value through:
- Decentralization: It promotes decentralized content sharing and management, enabling users to store and share data securely and efficiently.
- Interoperability: The tool uses web3.storage and is designed to work across browsers like Chrome, Brave, Opera, and Edge.
- User Control and Sovereignty: By incorporating DIDs and UCAN, DScan empowers users with self-sovereign identity, enhancing their control over personal data.
- Seamless File Management: DScan integrates with web3.storage for easy file storage and retrieval, ensuring that even non-technical users can harness the power of decentralized technologies.
