> ## Self-describing values for Future-proofing
> ## Self-describing values for future-proofing

Every choice in computing has a tradeoff. This includes formats, algorithms, encodings, and so on. And even with a great deal of planning, decisions may lead to breaking changes down the road, or to solutions which are no longer optimal. Allowing systems to evolve and grow is important.

- They MUST be compact and have a _binary-packed_ representation.

### Project Status

Several of the multiformats have stable specs and stable implementations. We're are working on the others. We prioritize their usage as soon as possible, as what they offer -- protocol interoperability and future-proofing -- has real-world consequences today.

Multiformats is the name for the organization, but it can also be used to refer to protocols; for instance, in the sentence "Use one of the multiformats". Formats is interchangeable with protocols, here. We try to capitalize Multiformats when it refers to the organization, on GitHub.

The Multiformats project began through [the IPFS Project](https://ipfs.io). It now supports a wider ecosystem of storage, networking, identity, cryptography, AI, and research projects. Examples below are direct Multiformats users or protocols represented in the public Multicodec registry.
