## What is Kubo? Kubo was the first IPFS implementation and is the most widely used one today. Implementing the *Interplanetary Filesystem* - the Web3 standard for content-addressing, interoperable with HTTP. Thus powered by IPLD's data models and the libp2p for network communication. Kubo is written in Go. Featureset -- Runs an IPFS-Node as a network service -- [Command Line Interface](https://docs.ipfs.tech/reference/kubo/cli/) to IPFS-Nodes -- Local [Web2-to-Web3 HTTP Gateway functionality](https://github.com/ipfs/specs/tree/main/http-gateways#readme) -- HTTP RPC API (`/api/v0`) to access and control the daemon -- IPFS's internal Webgui can be used to manage the Kubo nodes +- Runs an IPFS-Node as a network service that is part of LAN and WAN DHT +- [HTTP Gateway](https://specs.ipfs.tech/http-gateways/) (`/ipfs` and `/ipns`) functionality for trusted and [trustless](https://docs.ipfs.tech/reference/http/gateway/#trustless-verifiable-retrieval) content retrieval +- [HTTP Routing V1](https://specs.ipfs.tech/routing/http-routing-v1/) (`/routing/v1`) client and server implementation for [delegated routing](./docs/delegated-routing.md) lookups +- [HTTP Kubo RPC API](https://docs.ipfs.tech/reference/kubo/rpc/) (`/api/v0`) to access and control the daemon +- [Command Line Interface](https://docs.ipfs.tech/reference/kubo/cli/) based on (`/api/v0`) RPC API +- [WebUI](https://github.com/ipfs/ipfs-webui/#readme) to manage the Kubo node ### Other implementations
