libp2p: A Modular, P2P Networking Stack
summary
libp2p is a modular P2P networking stack that provides QUIC and TCP/UDP transports, WebRTC for browsers and mobile, a Kademlia DHT for discovery and record storage, connection multiplexing, automatic encryption and authentication, and NAT traversal helpers. It runs across Go, JS, Rust and other languages, with a C++ Kagome and an UPenn Python implementation in progress; Polkadot/Substrate and Ethereum 2.0 nodes and MetaMask already integrate it. The Go repo is treated as the reference implementation and GitHub activity is growing.
