    Ipfs has always had a strongly layered philosophy. The team believes in modular software architects. They will never be coupled. Just look at their stack, heck they even made a protocol for self decribing hashes. Also libp2p is quite nice.

        yeah the diffence is that layered protocols would be intrinsically difficult to inject coupling. Protocol labs help create protocols, but its out of their hands now. For example polkadot uses libp2p and also did most of the rust implementation. Also many Ethereum project use lib2p2 and IPFS (although eth use DEVp2p for it networking) If protocol labs wanted to add something to the protocol that was helped just filecoin that would go against libp2p’s largest consumers and they would just fork the protocol anyways. Protocol lab’s approach is to be as plurilistic as possible so they can get the largest mindshare of developers using and working on the protocols, then eventually the protocols becomes self sustaining through the projects that are built on them.
