How a statistical approach cut IPFS content publishing times by over one order of magnitude.
IPFS is moving beyond the sponsored gateways
How IPFS is shifting from centralized public gateways to distributed infrastructure and client-side retrieval.
Introducing Filebase Sites: Simplified IPFS Websites with IPNS
Hosting a real website on IPFS has always come with friction: changing CIDs, manual IPNS management, and fragile workflows. Filebase Sites removes the last-mile complexity, giving developers a simple way to publish, update, and maintain decentralized websites without breaking links.

Decentralized Technology in Practice: An analysis of socio-technical resilience in IPFS
The “Interplanetary File System” (IPFS) refers to a peer-to-peer content addressing protocol that is designed to be “upgradeable, resilient, and more open”. [1]

The strain on scientific publishing
Scientists are increasingly overwhelmed by the volume of articles being published. Total articles indexed in Scopus and Web of Science have grown exponentially in recent years; in 2022 the article total was approximately ~47% higher than in 2016, which has outpaced the limited growth - if any - in the number of practising scientists. Thus, publication workload per scientist (writing, reviewing, editing) has increased dramatically. We define this problem as the strain on scientific publishing. To analyse this strain, we present five data-driven metrics showing publisher growth, processing times, and citation behaviours. We draw these data from web scrapes, requests for data from publishers, and material that is freely available through publisher websites. Our findings are based on millions of papers produced by leading academic publishers. We find specific groups have disproportionately grown in their articles published per year, contributing to this strain. Some publishers enabled this growth by adopting a strategy of hosting special issues, which publish articles with reduced turnaround times. Given pressures on researchers to publish or perish to be competitive for funding applications, this strain was likely amplified by these offers to publish more articles. We also observed widespread year-over-year inflation of journal impact factors coinciding with this strain, which risks confusing quality signals. Such exponential growth cannot be sustained. The metrics we define here should enable this evolving conversation to reach actionable solutions to address the strain on scientific publishing.

Browsers & Standards Work 2026: Call for Community Input
TL;DR: IPFS is planning the next phase of work to make browsers better for the decentralized web – not just IPFS, but any protocol that needs lightweight crypto, peer-to-peer connections, or native browser integration. We need your input on what features matters most. Background: What We’ve Accomplished Over the past 5 years, sustained collaboration with Igalia has delivered real improvements to all major browsers: Ed25519 in WebCrypto API - Shipped in Chrome 137 (May 2025), now available in...

interesting to think about an agent working on tasks and using @IPFS for data management... give a node to an agent and leverage all the capabilities the network has.https://t.co/vPqouTjM8v— steve.prophet (@nilslice) December 22, 2024
IPFS at Eurosky Live Berlin: Highlights From A Bright Future
The Authenticated Transfer Protocol (ATProto or AT), which sits under Bluesky and many other emerging projects, has tremendous potential. At the IPFS Foundation, we're big fans, and not just because AT builds on the IPFS stack through IPLD and DASL (though admittedly building on DASL is one of the coolest
