This guide uses Zarr v3 conventions. Zarr v2 works the same way with IPFS, but uses different metadata files (`.zmetadata`, `.zarray`, `.zattrs`, `.zgroup`) instead of `zarr.json`. The `--hidden` flag in the `ipfs add` command ensures these files are included. See the [Zarr v2 to v3 migration guide](https://zarr.readthedocs.io/en/stable/user-guide/v3_migration.html) for more details.
