Kubo was the first IPFS implementation and is the most widely used one today. It implements the Interplanetary Filesystem - the Web3 standard for content-addressing, interoperable with HTTP. It is powered by IPLD's data models and libp2p for network communication. Kubo is written in Go. Featureset * Runs an IPFS-Node as a network service * Command Line Interface to IPFS-Nodes * Local Web2-to-Web3 HTTP Gateway functionality * HTTP RPC API (/api/v0) to access and control the daemon * IPFS's internal Webgui can be used to manage the Kubo nodes IPFS is a global, versioned, peer-to-peer filesystem. It combines good ideas from previous systems such as Git, BitTorrent, Kademlia, SFS, and the Web. It is like a single BitTorrent swarm, exchanging git objects. IPFS provides an interface as simple as the HTTP web, but with permanence built-in. You can also mount the world at /ipfs.
