libp2p

libp2p is an open source networking library used by the world’s most important distributed systems such as Ethereum, IPFS, Filecoin, Optimism and countless others.

IPFS

IPFS is an open source peer-to-peer content delivery network. Over 75 million monthly active users interact with IPFS through our implementations, libraries, tools, integrations, and infrastructure.

IPFS Tools & Integrations Infrastructure

Service Worker IPFS Gateway

Decentralising IPFS Gateways by verifying hashes in the user’s browser.

Key Achievements Include:

Enhancing the robustness of IPFS-based web hosting by eliminating reliance on a single HTTP backend
Reducing operational costs associated with running an HTTP backend
Improving JS tooling, IPFS specifications, and gateway-conformance tests

IPFS Companion

IPFS Companion is a browser extension with 65M+ users that enhances browsing with a local IPFS node, providing a more trustless experience.

IPFS Desktop

IPFS Companion is a browser extension with 65M+ users that enhances browsing with a local IPFS node, providing a more trustless experience.

IPFS Implementations & Libraries

KUBO

Kubo, the first IPFS implementation, is the most popular, with broad features, 50M+ Docker pulls, and 80% prevalence in the Amino DHT.

BOXO

Boxo is a set of libraries to enable developers to build IPFS applications and implementations in GO. It powers Kubo, Cluster, Rainbow and more.

Helia

A lean, modular, and modern TypeScript implementation of IPFS for the prolific JS and browser environments.

Rainbow

A performance-focused IPFS HTTP Gateway intended to power ipfs.io and beyond.

Cluster

Cluster scales across hosts, orchestrating IPFS daemons by allocating, replicating, and tracking a global pinset across multiple peers.

IPFS Infrastructure

IPFS HTTP Gateway Network

Our gateway infrastructure serves as a critical bridge to IPFS content, processing over 1 billion requests and serving 11 million unique IP addresses weekly.

These gateways allow anyone to access decentralized content through familiar web browsers without running a nod.

Content Safety System

Our Badbits pipeline provides critical content moderation for gateway operators by:

Processing reports of illegal or malicious content
Implementing automated and manual review procedures
Maintaining a public list of blocked CIDs
Handling content filtering across jurisdictions
Processing multiple block requests weekly

Amino DHT Bootstrappers

Our bootstrap nodes function as trusted entry points, enabling approximately 250,000 nodes weekly to join the Amino DHT network. Like resilient blockchain networks, we maintain multiple software implementations to ensure robust system reliability.

Community Content Cluster

We operate an IPFS Cluster that preserves essential community resources including:

Kubo binaries
Wikipedia datasets
Other vital community content

This operational involvement ensures we deeply understand the software we maintain while providing reliable access to critical resources.
