 **Who maintains and funds this work?**
 
 We're grateful to Protocol Labs, our anchor financial partner for 2024-2025, for its continued support. We’ve also secured significant commitments from other notable web3 foundations in support of public goods funding to maintain IPFS and libp2p. We’re thankful as well to our early ecosystem supporters and patrons including CoopHive, Pinata, and Fission.
