What are the differences between IPFS and hyperdrive?


A year ago I attended Munich meetup where I first saw hyperdrive project live, and found it impressive. I also recently stumpled upon IPFS –the InterPlanetary file system– and I wonder about the differences. It's easy to have a lot of repercusion when starting a project like this in California, so I guess they might be similar projects but still don't understand the scope of hyperdrive fully.

I very much like the API and implementation hyperdrive, so if I had to build an app over a distributed file system I believe it would be easier for me at this point to chose that project.

Is there anywhere or some bold bullet points I could use for comparison?

Thanks

  • Some specific differences between IPFS and hyperdrive, considering both as mechanisms for sharing files and directories of files between peers in a distributed fashion are that:
