The IPFS Specifications Repository is a comprehensive resource detailing the specifications for the IPFS Protocol and its associated subsystems. It serves as both a technical guide and a community-driven platform for the iterative development and improvement of IPFS. The repository includes documentation on key components such as the IPFS Protocol Architecture, User Interface (Public APIs), Data Formats like IPLD and DAG-CBOR, Self-Describing Formats (multiformats), Files and Directories (UnixFS), Storage Layers, Block Exchanges (Bitswap), Key Management systems, and the Networking Layer (libp2p). Additionally, it outlines the InterPlanetary Improvement Process (IPIP) for proposing and ratifying enhancements to existing protocols. The repository uses a badge system to classify the maturity and stability of specifications, facilitating transparent and organized contributions from the community while abiding by the IPFS Code of Conduct.
