# IPFS implementations

IPFS is an open-source project that encourages the development of multiple implementations of the protocol, each of which seeks to optimize for various use cases. Below is non-exhaustive list of IPFS implementations, grouped by development and maintenance status ([active](#actively-maintained) and [inactive](#inactive)) and ordered alphabetically. If you're aware of more implementations, [edit this page in GitHub](https://github.com/ipfs/ipfs-docs/edit/main/docs/concepts/ipfs-implementations.md) or [open an issue](https://github.com/ipfs/ipfs-docs/issues/new?assignees=&labels=need%2Ftriage&template=open_an_issue.md&title=IPFS%20Implementations) to have the list updated.
