I think the lack of information is making my imagination run wild with what this project is about, so would you mind sharing what the purpose of IPFN is and how I could contribute?

@sunny-g hey! awesome you are interested!

IPFN joins many ideas together but it's still WIP, it borrows from IPFS methods for storage and addressing of functions, optionally provides a set of descriptors for the layer.

IPFN cells are designed to be a self-descriptive network. The IPFN cells are bridge between the API and function layer and provide way to create computation data flow graphs, like in TensorFlow but with focus on global scale asynchronous operations.

I would love to say more but there is a lot and so I will leave some space to answer your questions, I hope you've got at least a few :+1:

I can also direct you to one of the early prototypes which can help you understand at least small part of the goal.
