Danny O'B<p>the syncing means that it uses (I think) a different distribution protocol than classic IPFS, but it's still content-addressable. (For instance it uses <a href="https://mastodon.spesh.com/tags/blake3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>blake3</span></a> hashing so you can incrementally check the integrity of big files) <a href="https://github.com/n0-computer/iroh" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">github.com/n0-computer/iroh</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>
