Simplify, speed up, and secure access to both the Ethereum network and the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS)
Use Cloudflare's gateways to access the Distributed Web easily, quickly, and securely, no software required.
Serve content hosted on IPFS or interact with an Ethereum distributed app from a custom domain over HTTPs.
Distributed Web Gateway Terms of Use
Browse files stored on IPFS easily and securely with Cloudflare’s Distributed Web Gateway without downloading software. Serve your own content hosted on IPFS from a custom domain over HTTPs.
Generally, to access content stored on IPFS, you have to be running an IPFS node. That means downloading dedicated software and allocating local storage space on your computer. Cloudflare’s Distributed Web Gateway makes all of that unnecessary. Cloudflare’s gateway allows you to browse any file stored on the public IPFS network by going to cloudflare-ipfs.com/
No need to download anything. No need to give up local storage space. It all happens in your browser.

If you want to put your own files on IPFS, go to the Developer Docs to learn how.
Cloudflare’s gateway helps speed up delivery of IPFS content. By caching IPFS content in our global network of data centers, Cloudflare can deliver content requested through our gateway from a data center near you.
For each file that Cloudflare’s gateway requests on your behalf, we check the hash of the file to ensure that the content hasn’t been modified in transit. Our gateway also serves all content over HTTPS, protecting it from manipulation.
The Cloudflare Ethereum Gateway will provide access to the Ethereum network that you can provision through your own custom hostname. Using the gateway, users can add interactive elements to sites powered by Ethereum smart contracts, a decentralized compute platform.
Moreover, in conjunction with Cloudflare's IPFS gateway, users can host websites and other resources in a decentralized manner. This, with the added speed, security and reliability provided by the Cloudflare global network.
Ethereum is a distributed, virtual compute network that stores and enforces policies defined by smart contracts. The Ethereum network is made up of many globally distributed nodes that build a consensus in the form of a blockchain, based on the transfer and execution of currency
Anyone, anywhere can become a node on the Ethereum network by simply running a compatible Ethereum daemon such as https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum.
Any transaction created by an individual is verified and agreed upon by the entire network, and becomes part of the global consensus.
Any user that joins the network can start performing transactions and running/writing smart contracts. Whatever the results, these will be added to the global consensus on the Ethereum blockchain.
Every transaction that takes place is identified with a block that joins the blockchain. Each block and transaction have a unique identifier that enable them to be read by any node on the network.
Once something is written onto the blockchain, it stays there forever. This provides a historical reference at which this piece of data will always be available.
The Ethereum network represents a huge decentralized computing platform, with expressive policies and programs that are run as smart contracts.
Integrity and resiliency of content: The advantage of this approach is that any change to the network is agreed upon by all nodes on the network and added to the blockchain. This means that there is no way of subverting the trust of the system without compromising a huge number of globally distributed nodes.
A new computing paradigm: The Ethereum network is growing rapidly, and represents a new approach in how large distributed systems and computing platforms can be built.
Instead of running your own node that connects to the Ethereum network, which can be difficult and costly, connect to Cloudflare's distributed web gateway instead! The Cloudflare Ethereum gateway allows anyone to get access to the Ethereum network. This includes viewing the current state of the network and supplying their own transactions to be added to the consensus.
All connections with the network take place in the browser, nothing needs to run on your local machine.
Fast Access: Benefit from Cloudflare's global edge network to reach the Ethereum network. We use the power of Cloudflare's global cache to speed up all responses from our gateway. We use our own product Argo Tunnel to speed up the routing of your queries across our network. This means that you can interact with the network from a data center close by, rather than a node that is thousands of miles anyway.
Built-in Security: All communication with the Ethereum gateway is encrypted as it takes place over HTTPS. Traffic between the Cloudflare edge and the gateway is protected using Argo Tunnel.
Simply JSON: All queries to the Ethereum network are simply JSON structs. See the Developer Docs for a list of the supported API for the Cloudflare gateway. A full description of the official API is also available here.
It is now possible to connect your website to the Cloudflare Ethereum gateway and bring the Ethereum network closer to your own website's visitors. After you connect your website to the Ethereum gateway, visitors will be able to access the Ethereum network through your domain. All you need to get started is a domain that you own!
