#MerkleDAG (In Development)

![Merkle Dag](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/1104560/8148112/f88a3a68-1240-11e5-9216-63449f98677d.png)

[Merkle DAG](https://github.com/jbenet/random-ideas/issues/20) is the data structure powering the Git and [IPFS](http://ipfs.io).

It has the benefits of

* Integrity check

* Deduplication

* Content Addressing

It can be used to build various awesome things and IPFS is a great example of it. This is an attempt to implement MerkleDAG in Elixir so that in the future other things can be built on top of it. It is using [Go-IPFS](https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs) implementation as reference.

It is still in **heavy development** and in no way functional yet.
