IPFS Weekly Issue 86: IPFS Fixed Summit is coming soon
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 happens in the Interplanetary File System ecosystem! ?

IPFS Mobile Design Research Project


The IPFS mobile design research project started earlier this year, and recently Jim Kosem presented the goals, methods, and research results of his ongoing IPFS and p2p mobile research. Please check out the blog post and local offline collaboration record for more information.
