Hi there! I have written some code to fetch and verify the content from an IPFS gateway by hashing the content and comparing it to the original CID hash. Check it out [https://github.com/dappnode/DNP\_DAPPMANAGER/blob/master/packages/dappmanager/src/modules/ipfs/getContentFromGateway.ts](https://github.com/dappnode/DNP_DAPPMANAGER/blob/master/packages/dappmanager/src/modules/ipfs/getContentFromGateway.ts) I am not sure if this verification is already done by the IPFS-CAR library, can anybody clarify it? Also, I was trying to create a “fake” ipfs gateway to expose the `/dag/export` endpoint and serve a modified CAR content to check that my code works propertly. I am having troubles how to serve CAR content through an API, can anyone help me please? Thank u in advanced! ---

Hi Just wanted to comment that a lightweight lib which does just that - verify the integrity of files downloaded via gateway - would imho be super useful. Without it, the convenience of using public gateways comes at the price of losing the main benefit of IPFS - guaranteed integrity.
