Shipyard’s Q1 2026 Contributions to IPFS
Driving standardisation, reliability, and real-world usability.

Driving standardisation, reliability, and real-world usability.

After migrating 15+ IPFS Project websites from Fleek, Shipyard explains why modular infrastructure with swappable components is the future-proof approach to content-addressed website hosting.

Seven Kubo releases, dozens of improvements across Rainbow, Desktop, WebUI, Companion, Helia, and the broader stack. The theme: making self-hosted IPFS practical on regular hardware. Highlights include DHT Provide Sweep, AutoTLS, HTTP retrieval, and inbrowser.link and @helia/verified-fetch proving trustless browser retrieval works.

Kubo 0.39 introduces Provide Sweep, a batching optimization for IPFS DHT providing, allowing resource-constrained nodes to dramatically scale content advertising with smooth and predictable resource usage.

Shipyard will conclude maintenance of go-libp2p and js-libp2p on September 30, 2025, and is working to transition stewardship to the community.

Discover how the new js-libp2p developer tools provide real-time debugging capabilities for js-libp2p and Helia nodes in both browsers and Node.js.
Our free IPFS tools and integrations have over 75 million monthly active users around the globe.
