The ipfs.io/dweb.link public gateways are maintained by Interplanetary Shipyardon behalf of the IPFS Foundation. The funds are contributed by a range of donorswho wish to support digital public infrastructure.Join them, all contributions are welcome!What's the relationship between gateways and other IPFS instances?Running IPFS directly is more efficient, but not all users are able to do it today.Gateways are an interim solution. Longer term, the IPFS project aims to increase direct support foripfs:// in browsers and applications.There will always be a role for gateways, but we anticipate that role will shrink as directIPFS support becomes more prevalent.How does the gateway ensure whether the data they return matches the Content ID (CID) in the request? Can I access the gateways in a trustless way?The ipfs.io gateway is one of the first that verifies the data against the requested CID before beingreturned to users. We do however recommend that clients implement their own verification as that is afoundational part of IPFS. To simplify this, gateways supportthat enable verifiable retrieval.
