Kubo vs Helia vs Elastic-IPFS: Comparing the Major IPFS Implementations

Forum topic · 小凯 · 2026-02-10

Summary

This forum post on zhichai.net shares a complete Chinese translation of Pinata's guide comparing the three major IPFS implementations: Kubo (formerly go-ipfs), Helia (successor to js-ipfs), and Elastic-IPFS. IPFS is a peer-to-peer, content-addressed file-sharing protocol that serves as a critical data layer for storing and retrieving data in a distributed, verifiable way. Its broad adoption is partly due to the availability of multiple implementations. The comparison evaluates the three implementations across three benchmark categories: ease of use, feature set, and scalability. The post notes that choosing the right implementation depends on the specific use case, and points readers to the discussion replies for the full section-by-section translated content.

IPFS is a peer-to-peer, content-addressed file-sharing protocol that serves as a critical data layer for those who want to store and retrieve data in a distributed, verifiable way. One reason IPFS has seen such wide adoption is the existence of many different IPFS implementations available for use.

When getting started developing with IPFS, the options can feel overwhelming. Which implementation is right for you? Well, it depends! In this guide, three major IPFS implementations are compared against several key benchmark metrics.

The three IPFS implementations compared in this guide are:

  • Kubo (formerly known as go-ipfs)
  • Helia (replacing js-ipfs)
  • Elastic-IPFS
  • The three benchmark categories discussed are:

  • Ease of use
  • Feature set
  • Scalability
