Four documents, the same five questions.
No throughput league table and no yield. The cells are what this library is willing to say about the text.
| Question | IPFS - Content Addressed, Versioned, P2P File System |
|---|---|
| What the text proposes | Name a file by its hash. Retrieve it from any peer who has the bytes. Version history is a graph of hashes, not a folder on one machine. |
| Who may write | Juan Benet |
| What is settled | Content addressing means the name is the data. |
| Load-bearing assumption | IPFS is not Filecoin. It does not pay anyone to store. |
| What this library says afterwards | A reading of the public document. Not a copy of it, and not a claim about a later network that reused the name. |
| Rights | Official external source only |
