Cloudflare Unveils Gateway to Distributed Internet With ENS, IPFS Integration

Web internet hosting big Cloudflare has unveiled a direct gateway to help the distributed net.

In response to a Wednesday blog post, Cloudflare will be capable of hook up with domains hosted on the Ethereum Identify Service (ENS) and the Interplanetary File System (IPFS) by a brand new indexing service.

“At Cloudflare Analysis, we have now been exploring other ways to resolve queries to responses that align with these attributes. We’re proud to announce a brand new resolver for the Distributed Internet, the place IPFS content material listed by the Ethereum Name Service (ENS) could be accessed,” the weblog states.

ENS has been working with Cloudflare since February 2020 on the venture, the ENS director of operations, Brantly Millegan, instructed CoinDesk in a Telegram message. 

“The first function of the eth.hyperlink service is fairly easy: customers can append ‘.hyperlink’ to the tip of a .eth identify to entry an IPFS web site on the identify like a standard web site, no particular browsers or extensions essential,” ENS wrote in a blog post.
