An implementation of the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) in Rust, providing a blockstore, libp2p integration with DHT content discovery and pubsub, and HTTP API bindings. It aims for performance and interoperability with the Go and JavaScript IPFS implementations.
Use cases
- embed IPFS peer-to-peer file sharing in a Rust application
- store and retrieve content-addressed blocks over IPFS
- run a Rust IPFS node with DHT content discovery
- publish and subscribe to messages over libp2p pubsub
- expose an IPFS-compatible HTTP API from Rust
- build decentralized apps needing immutable content addressing
When to choose
- you need IPFS functionality inside a Rust codebase
- you want a performant, resource-efficient IPFS implementation
- you need interoperability with Go or JavaScript IPFS nodes
When to avoid
- you need a maintained, production-ready IPFS implementation (project is abandoned)
- you just need a general IPFS client - use the Go or JS implementations
- you need the latest IPFS protocol features or security updates
