net-ipfs-engine

An embedded IPFS engine implemented in C#. It implements the IPFS Core API which makes it possible to create a decentralised and distributed application without relying on an "IPFS daemon". Basically, your application becomes an IPFS node.

More information, including the class reference, is on the Project web site. This is BETA CODE and breaking changes will occur.

Features

• An embedded .Net implementation of IPFS, no need for a "IPFS daemon"
• A distributed file system
• A zero config pubsub message system
• Targets
  • .NET Framework 4.6.1
  • .NET Standard 2.0
• Supports asynchronous I/O
