Offline and Trustless: The Future with In-Browser IPFS Gateways
summary
A Helia instance with Helia verified Fetch runs inside a service-worker IPFS gateway so browsers can fetch, cryptographically verify, and cache IPFS sites for offline use. The demo is alpha but works live and goes offline during the talk. It uses Helia, JS libp2p, WebTransport, delegated routing and circuit relays, benefits from the network growing to ~5,000–10,000 nodes, and still needs direct retrieval support and a few PRs before feature-complete.
