Deploy Friday: E74 The Interplanetary File System - A global commons network for everyone


I had the great pleasure of interviewing Dietrich Ayala (@dietrich) and Michelle Lee (@mishmosh) about their work on IPFS, Filecoin, and LibP2P at Protocol Labs. Talking to visionaries such as Dietrich and Mosh, I get very excited about everything that technology will make possible in the coming decades, and I applaud the vision behind these projects.

We covered:

  • What is IPFS? What is Filecoin? What is LibP2P?
  • Some easy misconceptions about IPFS (ie you don't upload files to IPFS)
  • Some of the use cases that currently exist for IPFS
  • Some of the future goals that guide the developement of these technologies
  • IPFS role in NFTs
  • The state of browser support for IPFS
  • The importance of trust and provenance in the HTTP-based world, vs trustless content addressable data in the IPFS world
