Go Ipfs

Features

Content-Addressable Storage - Implements a storage system where data is identified by unique cryptographic hashes of its content.
Distributed Filesystems - Provides a decentralized storage system that spans multiple servers for unified data access.
Merkle DAG File Systems - Organizes data as a Merkle DAG of blobs and trees to enable efficient deduplication and versioning.
Decentralized Content Distribution - Serves files through a peer-to-peer network to ensure availability without a single point of failure.
Peer-to-Peer File Sharing - Stores and shares data across a decentralized network without relying on a central server.
Peer-to-Peer Distribution Protocols - Implements a peer-to-peer distribution protocol for sharing and acquiring digital content.
Gossip Protocols - Uses an epidemic-style broadcasting mechanism to propagate network state and metadata updates.
Peer Discovery - Locates and connects to other network nodes using peer discovery mechanisms across various network types.
Distributed Hash Tables - Uses a decentralized hash table to map content identifiers to peer network addresses for routing.
Kademlia Implementations - Employs the Kademlia routing algorithm to locate nodes in the decentralized peer network.
IPFS Node Administration - Implements the core daemon and tools for managing the lifecycle and configuration of an IPFS node.
P2P Network Administration - Provides tools for managing and monitoring the health and traffic of decentralized peer networks.
Remote Storage Mounts - Mounts remote content-addressed storage as local directories for seamless file access.
Network Namespace Mounting - Maps decentralized network namespaces as local directories for direct file access.
Content-Addressable Retrievals - Retrieves data from the network using unique content hashes rather than location-based addresses.
IPFS HTTP Gateways - Includes HTTP servers that bridge peer-to-peer content to standard web browsers.
P2P Content Gateways - Serves distributed files to web browsers through a gateway that maps standard paths to network content.
Gossip-Based Discovery - Synchronizes network state and metadata through a gossip-based discovery and propagation protocol.
HTTP-to-P2P Translation - Translates standard web requests into peer-to-peer protocol calls to serve content-addressed data.
Filesystem Mounting - Attaches distributed content and namespaces to a specific local directory in the system hierarchy.
FUSE Virtual Filesystems - Provides a userspace filesystem that maps network content identifiers to a local directory hierarchy.
Content Filtering Policies - Enforces content policies by blocking specific data from being served by public nodes.
Content Identifier Blocking - Prevents the serving or routing of specific content based on unique content identifiers.
Blockchain Platforms - Go implementation of the decentralized peer-to-peer storage network.

Kubo is a peer-to-peer implementation of the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) designed for decentralized data storage and content delivery. It uses content-addressing, directed acyclic graphs, and distributed hash tables to identify, distribute, and retrieve data across a network without relying on central servers. The project differentiates itself by providing a virtual filesystem via FUSE, which maps decentralized network namespaces to local operating system directories for direct file access. It also includes integrated HTTP gateways that translate peer-to-peer content into standard web t

IPFS is a peer-to-peer hypermedia protocol and content-addressed storage system that identifies data by cryptographic hashes rather than network locations. It enables the creation of a decentralized web by organizing files and directories as directed acyclic graphs of linked content identifiers. The project differentiates itself through the use of a distributed hash table for locating peers and a system of signed records to map human-readable names to changing content. It also provides HTTP gateways that translate standard web requests into peer-to-peer queries, allowing decentralized data to

This project is a full-featured BitTorrent client library and protocol implementation. It provides the core components necessary for peer-to-peer file sharing, including a networking stack that supports the BitTorrent specification, tracker communication, and swarm management. A primary differentiator is the inclusion of a virtual filesystem that allows torrents to be mounted as read-only drives. This system enables on-demand content streaming, where specific data pieces are fetched from the network only when a read request occurs, rather than requiring the entire archive to be downloaded fir
