    • Files identified by cryptographic hash
    • Immutable content addressing
    • Automatic deduplication
    • Verifiable content integrity
    • Version control built-in
    • Merkle DAG structure

  • Peer-to-Peer Network:

    • Distributed hash table (DHT)
    • No central servers
    • Peer discovery mechanisms
    • NAT traversal support
    • Relay networks
    • Global content routing

  • Developer Tools:

    • HTTP gateway interface
    • RPC API access
    • Command-line tools
    • Web-based UI
    • JavaScript libraries
    • Multiple language bindings
