Cloudflare’s public IPFS gateways and supporting Interplanetary Shipyard

Cloudflare has announced its plan to transition traffic from its public IPFS gateway to the IPFS Foundation's gateway maintained by the Interplanetary Shipyard team. This move is part of an ongoing effort to support community-owned and managed protocols like IPFS, which was invented at Protocol Labs and incubated there before being transferred to the independent entity called Interplanetary Shipyard in April 2024. The transition will begin on May 14th, 2024, with all traffic using Cloudflare hostnames redirected to ipfs.io or dweb.link until August 14th, 2024. After this date, users must switch their hostname to ensure no service interruption takes place. The transition aims to boost ecosystem collaboration, increase protocol resiliency, and ensure healthy stewardship and governance.
