ipns

What problem does it solve?

IPNS provides mutable pointers for IPFS content, enabling stable URLs even as content changes, but it can be slow and DNS-backed names (dnslink) are often a better default solution.

Core Features & Use Cases

• IPNS publishing and key management to assign permanent pointers to rotating IPFS content.
• Republish scheduling and TTL awareness to keep records fresh and resolvable.
• Optional Pubsub-assisted IPNS for faster, real-time updates across nodes.
• DNSLink as a faster, DNS-native alternative when you control a domain.

Quick Start

Publish a signed IPNS record for your current IPFS content by generating a key and running ipfs name publish with the CID.
