A small but meaningful update: IPIP-0499 is now merged into the IPFS spec! We're introducing configuration profiles for CIDs. 🧩 🧵

Web Tiles Tiles are composable web docs and apps that can safely be used in arbitrary contexts and assembled from multiple sources to carry out complex user interface tasks.

Great DASLing Group bimonthly today! Lots of good things in motion, including:

- A Perceptual Fingerprint (PFP) spec github.com/darobin/dasl...
- A proposed storage layout spec github.com/darobin/dasl...
- A webtil.es demo & overview

IPLD 2025 Review: From Monoliths to Modules The year that brought us modular Rust libraries, faster DAG-CBOR, stable multiformats, and a simpler on-ramp with DASL.

@vmx.cx wrote up a quick tour of what happened in IPLD and multiformats this year:

🧱 New (much faster!) modular crates for Rust IPLD
🐦 Migration guide if you're still using libipld
✅ Rust multiformats (cid, multihash, multibase) production-ready

But your Honor, if you only split this file in 256 KiB parts, hash them, prepend the length and the hash codec varint and the codec varint and use the result as the children of a dagpb protobuf containing a unixfs protobuf of type file, you will find that my client is unequivocally innocent!
