The Next Frontiers
We're shooting for the stars, and we can't do it without your help. Here are some of the unknowns we've yet to discover:
How can we introduce privacy and encryption functionality to IPFS?
How do we enable connectivity between every platform IPFS runs on, from satellites to lower powered IoT devices?
What data structures and recommendations can we create to help other developers?
How can we invent a more efficient peer-to-peer data transfer protocol?
