Development of the [js-ipfs project](https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs) is being discontinued to focus on [Helia](https://github.com/ipfs/helia), a leaner, more modular, modern implementation of IPFS in JavaScript scheduled for release in 2023. To learn more about Helia and the current state of IPFS in JS, see the [blog post](https://blog.ipfs.tech/state-of-ipfs-in-js/).
