IPFS Weekly 100: A quick read of this week’s highlights


Welcome to IPFS Weekly

The InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) ( https://ipfs.io/ ) is a new hypermedia distribution protocol, addressable by content and identity. IPFS enables the creation of fully distributed applications. Its goal is to make the web faster, more secure, and more open. Due to the large scope, this weekly newsletter aims to track developments across the ecosystem.

This is what is happening in the Interplanetary File System ecosystem!

We are about to phase out SECIO

We will soon remove support for SECIO secure transport in IPFS and libp2p. You can mitigate the impact on your node by updating to the latest version.

How content addressing solves streaming challenges


Research plays a vital role in the development and iteration of IPFS, and here’s a recent article from Yiannis Psaras on the merits of content addressability in a world that is increasingly reliant on the internet.

Coolest thing: Open Bazaar

The second part of the IPFS case study series focuses on OpenBazaar, a p2p e-commerce platform where buyers and sellers can participate anonymously and privately. By using IPFS to create this collaborative network, OpenBazaar allows users to conduct transactions without the risk of centralized data collection or the threat of their personal information being hacked!
