Hello everyone,

I took some time taking a closer look at IPFS’ protocol stack and started out with Multiformats, specifically Multihashes.

In this article I’m explaining how IPFS manages to have multiple hash types co-exist in the system.

Hopefully this is useful to anyone!

Just wanted to say I came across your articles a few times while researching IPFS and they were super helpful. Thanks!
