Welcome!

This repository is the entrypoint to the IPLD project: documentation, specifications, the website, and a great deal of the design work all live here.

**The website published from this repo is online at https://ipld.io/ ** -- you'll probably wish to read it there, rather than see the source form here, unless you're aiming to contribute patches.

IPLD stands for "InterPlanetary Linked Data, and is a series of standards and formats for describing data in a content-addressing-emphatic way. The people who work on IPLD do so because we want a world where it's easy to build decentralized, distributed, and inter-operable applications, and we believe robust data formats and a clear story for content-addressing them is a key piece of leverage towards that goal.
