IPFS, libp2p, and distributed networking

19 repos

Go libraries and implementations for building peer-to-peer networks, with a focus on the IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) ecosystem and libp2p protocol stack. The cluster centers on multiaddressing schemes, content addressing, and modular networking abstractions that enable decentralized communication and file sharing. Kubo (the Go IPFS implementation) and libp2p are the primary reference implementations, supported by foundational specs and utilities for addressing, protocol negotiation, and peer discovery.
