What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-29, confidence not recorded
A JavaScript implementation of the IPFS peer-to-peer protocol, usable as a library in Node.js and browsers or as a CLI daemon for adding and retrieving content-addressed files. The project is deprecated and superseded by Helia, with no further security fixes.
Use cases
- run an IPFS node in JavaScript
- add and fetch files over IPFS from Node.js
- embed peer-to-peer content addressing in a browser app
- start a local IPFS daemon via CLI
- build decentralized apps with libp2p and IPLD
When to avoid
- starting a new project - use Helia instead
- needing security fixes or ongoing maintenance
- production deployments requiring long-term support
