“When the government of Turkey blocked access to
@Wikipedia
. . . a full copy of the Turkish version of Wikipedia was added to IPFS, and it remained accessible to people in the country for the nearly three years that the ban continued."
Host names are a fundamental building block of today's Internet. But how exactly do they work? And how do we bring their value over to permissionless, decentralized Web3 networks?
A look at how
@HNS
Handshake and
@NamebaseHQ
are answering those questions:
Chromium, the open-source browser code, can now be built with support for IPFS addresses by only changing a few lines of code 🧑🏻💻
A major milestone by

Today we are excited to announce Durin, a native mobile app for iOS and Android built to give users a new way to read & share with IPFS. It also serves as a sandbox for the Browsers & Platforms team to experiment with IPFS in a mobile environment.
When a website goes down, often it’s due to failure of a centralized service, such as a hosting server or DNS issue or a DDOS attack or it’s a matter of Internet censorship.
What can you do? That’s a problem IPFS aims to solve. Read more w/

Check out this great thread from
@jalil_eth
that explains how IPFS addresses work and why they are so important for NFTs! With real-world examples! 🔗 🖼️
Since we use hashes to identify data in the IPFS network and protocol, when we encounter an IPFS link, we can be 100% certain that the data behind it can never change (unlike in HTTP).
Moving even just one pixel, would result in an entirely different hash, hence a different link.
We're excited to announce the first set of public collaborative clusters -- a great way to help improve distribution and data availability of specific datasets in the IPFS Network. Find out how:
