Why IPFS?
Our peer-to-peer content delivery network is built around the innovation of content addressing: store, retrieve, and locate data based on the fingerprint of its actual content rather than its name or location.
Open
The IPFS network is distributed and participatory, which reduces the problem of data silos that plague central servers.
Verifiable
The integrity of all data is verified using hash functions, so you can trust that you always get the data you’re looking for.
Resilient
Files and data can be stored across multiple nodes, which keeps content at the ready even during critical outages.
Get Started
Join thousands of developers who choose IPFS to build software that’s open, verifiable, and resilient.
Build peer-to-peer apps with IPFS
Our most popular implementations are written in Go, Rust, and JavaScript – and we also have support for desktop, browsers, mobile, embedded devices, and more.
Connect Through Community
We've sparked the most robust open-source ecosystem on Earth, and together we're achieving interplanetary aspirations.
Our protocol's success hinges on participation from all of our neighbors: Each new node that joins IPFS makes the network stronger for everyone.
