In this video, we take a look at the Service Worker API, why it's useful for IPFS, and how you can use it today for verified peer-to-peer retrieval with two projects:
- Service Worker Gateway
- IPFS Drop-in Service Worker

CID profiles help establish CID equivalency for files/dirs (UnixFS) in @ipfs.tech in a predictable manner across implementations.

Interesting discussion👇

Should we profile CIDs?

Also, DASL is an incomplete solution the problems described above because it doesn’t address chunking and DAG width for larger files. So we are still pursuing profiling to get predictable, comparable...

We built Verified Fetch because we wanted a library that makes @ipfs.tech retrieval easy on the web.

It's designed with the same semantics as Fetch and abstracts all the p2p.

You can also use it with custom hashing functions, like BLAKE3 👇

🚀 Announcing AutoTLS: A breakthrough bridging IPFS and the web.

AutoTLS, a public good service by @ipshipyard.com, grants libp2p/IPFS nodes a unique domain and automates Let's Encrypt TLS certificate issuance.

Main benefit: Web apps can connect to & fetch data directly from IPFS nodes 🧵
