ipfs
A lean, modular, and modern TypeScript implementation of IPFS for JavaScript and browser environments.
What is ipfs?
Helia is a TypeScript implementation of the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) protocol, enabling JavaScript and browser applications to interact with content-addressed, decentralized data. It solves the problem of building modern distributed web applications by providing a modular and performant IPFS stack tailored for JavaScript environments.
JavaScript and TypeScript developers building decentralized applications, browser-based dApps, or tools that require IPFS functionality in web or Node.js environments.
Developers choose Helia for its modular architecture, modern TypeScript design, and flexibility—allowing them to swap out components like networking or storage layers while maintaining full IPFS compatibility in JavaScript ecosystems.
