Libp2p: A Modular, P2P Networking Stack
summary
Modular peer-to-peer networking stack offering reusable building blocks: transports (TCP, Tor, Bluetooth, WebRTC), stream multiplexing, crypto moving toward TLS 1.3, content routing and a built-in DHT, plus publish/subscribe. Implementations exist in Go, JavaScript, Rust with community bindings; the browser JS runs in mobile contexts. The provided pubsub demo boots a single bootstrap node and shows three peers (Go/JS/Rust) join, publish chat messages and receive them, proving cross-language interoperability and practical usability under an MIT-friendly, community-driven spec.
