The reference implementation of IPFS, the content-addressed peer-to-peer file system where data is found by what it is, not where it sits. Content addressing is a foundational technique for censorship-resistant preservation.
Preservation rating 80/100 What's this?The Preservation Rating scores how well this entry is archived — not how good the software is. It's calculated automatically from what's already on this page: working mirrors, documentation, a reproducible build, a clearly identified license, and complete metadata. Nothing here is entered by hand; it updates itself whenever the entry changes.
