A look at the underlying concepts From a high level perspective, IPFS works by finding the information you are looking for by its content. This is known as content addressing and is achievable, through the Content Identifier - CID. We will discuss CID in the next section. -In getting to understand how IPFS works, we will take a deep dive into the underlying principles behind IPFS. +In better understanding how IPFS works, we will take a deep dive into the underlying principles behind IPFS. ## The three fundamental principles of understanding how IPFS works
