Shipyard winds down IPFS maintenance as Protocol Labs ends funding
Shipyard, a key maintainer of the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) software stack, is winding down operations after Protocol Labs ended its funding. The loss leaves IPFS without dedicated maintainers and puts several public services under Protocol Labs' direct control.
Why it matters for the crypto market
IPFS is foundational infrastructure for distributed web and blockchain applications. Loss of independent maintenance raises questions about the resilience of decentralized storage infrastructure.
