P2P Protocol Atributos

P2P Architecture Kademlia DHT (for peer discovery)
Overlay Network Global DHT
Content Addressing Content addressing (CIDs via cryptographic hashing)
Local-First N/A (nodes store cached content)
E2EE N/A (content is public by default, E2EE at application layer)
CRDTs Lib N/A (IPFS itself doesn't use CRDTs, but can store CRDT data)
Byzantine Fault Tolerance N/A (no consensus mechanism, content integrity via hashing)
Signature Cryptographic hashing (content verification, not signing)
Permissions N/A (public by default, no built-in access control)
Semantic Web Compatability IPLD (InterPlanetary Linked Data)
Smart Contract N/A (Filecoin has smart contracts, not IPFS)
Protocol Stack Position Application-layer (built on TCP/IP)
Asset / Value Embedding None — IPFS is a content-addressed storage and retrieval protocol with no native token or economic incentive layer at the protocol level. Pinning services and storage nodes operate independently without protocol-mandated payment.
Protocol Maturity / Standardization IETF Draft (CIDs specified in draft-multiformats-cid; content routing via HTTP delegated routing specs; libp2p components under active IETF submission)
