IPFS Project Roadmap v.0.6.0

Tune in (opens new window) to Juan Benet’s in-depth look at what’s ahead for IPFS as it continues to make strides in providing the internet with a robust infrastructure for decentralized storage. In v0.6.0, the protocol will move closer toward the goal to be the default tool for distributing large files, promoting end-to-end encryption, and supporting the evolution of a self-archiving and decentralized web. Watch the full presentation (opens new window) to learn more about what’s next for IPFS.
