libp2p

Introducing the libp2p Annual Report 2025 at the forefront of decentralized networking and AI. From securing global networks to powering next-gen data availability and light clients, libp2p continues to be foundational infrastructure for Web3 and beyond. Let’s dive in 👇

@stevenexusz Welcome back. Good to see you staying focused. Nexus is tackling meaningful problems across decentralized compute, ZK for LLM inference, PQC. Appreciate the emphasis on real engineering, openness to critique. Looking forward to seeing it evolve. Neat use of @libp2p. Keep it up!

@stevenexusz @solana @NVIDIAAI @hotspotty @nvidia @NVIDIAAIDev @libp2p Very welcome :) This is exactly the kind of validation we love to see at @libp2p: systems not just running, but actively defending & adapting under adversarial conditions in real time. Autonomous rejection of malicious peers is a huge milestone for resilient network design. Neat.

@stevenexusz @solana @NVIDIAAI @hotspotty @nvidia @NVIDIAAIDev Congratulations🚀 It’s incredibly rewarding to see Nexus Network leveraging @libp2p for real-world decentralized defense and AI systems. This is exactly the kind of frontier use case the stack was built for: resilient, peer-to-peer coordination without central points of failure.

@stevenexusz @rustlang @Docker @libp2p If you need any help, support, or feature requests to further unblock Nexus Network, feel free to reach out, happy to review and collaborate. The Thermodynamic Grid is a fascinating direction. Excited to see how it evolves. Thank you for building on @libp2p, appreciate it :)

@stevenexusz @rustlang @Docker @libp2p Very welcome :) It’s great to see how systematically & cleanly you worked through all the bottlenecks & challenges. Some @libp2p directions you might explore next: peer scoring + reputation, GossipSub tuning, QUIC + hole punching, adversarial testing (sybil, eclipse, partitions).

Massive thanks to the tools that made this possible: @rustlang @Docker @libp2p Building decentralized AI is hard, but your stacks are awesome. 🦀🐳

@stevenexusz @rustlang @Docker @libp2p Congratulations. Impressive work here, especially getting a live slashing mechanism running end-to-end on a @libp2p -based network🚀 Great to see you building on top of @libp2p and pushing into adversarial scenarios like malicious node detection + autonomous slashing. Excellent.

@manusheel @mudler_it @libp2p 🫶 @libp2p

@mudler_it @LocalAI_API @libp2p Also, some more ideas for your project, which we encourage @libp2p: QUIC + hole punching for smoother connectivity across clusters; Content-addressed checkpoints (@IPFS -style) for syncing model/state across nodes; Verifiable compute / attestations for decentralized inference.

@mudler_it @LocalAI_API @libp2p @mudler_it: Great to hear :) Thank you so much for your kindness and encouragement. Appreciate it. As a next step, you might wish to try peer scoring, adaptive gossip (please visit notes on gossipsub v1.0-2.0: github.com/libp2p/py-libp…) tuning for better coordination under load.

@manusheel @LocalAI_API @libp2p I'm a huge fan of @libp2p , thanks for maintaining such a great stack. I'll reach out for sure!

@mudler_it @LocalAI_API @libp2p Thank you for using @libp2p at @LocalAI_API. If you need any help, support, or have feature requests that could enable your project further, please reach out, great efforts here 🙌 Great to see the P2P federation using @libp2p + gossip for coordination-first systems. Neat :)

OrbitDB release candidate version 4 is now available. Upgraded to the latest @IPFS v6 and @libp2p v3 and includes some better timeout handling. @orbitdb/core?activeTab=versions" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">npmjs.com/package/@orbit…

3⃣ LibP2P @libp2p - Collaborated with @manusheel on py-libp2p SDK, contributing to issues, the LibP2P community is incredibly supportive with some great energy🔥 - Built projects like UCAN and GhostDocs using js-libp2p github.com/anuragShingare…

more than 70 files changed, over 6 months of countless reviews & feedbacks and FINALLY merged!!!! 🌟🌟 feeling excited to share that my longest going PR at @libp2p merged yesterday guyssss this was a major PR where we were migrating async service to anyio service. Grateful to @0xcrackedDev, @manusheel & other contributors for their combined efforts & guidance here. Also thankful to @pldevguild again for this amazing opportunity & looking forward to many more contributions. check it out: github.com/libp2p/py-libp…
