I'm so happy to see P2P and decentralized tools popping up without the crypto brainrot


Do you have an examples of p2p apps/libs with crypto brain rot?

I actually can't think of any. We have kademlia, libp2p, iroh, ipfs, etc. - only IPFS was tangentially crypto related with filecoin/NFT usage.


https://github.com/satellite-im https://xmtp.org/ (This is the most glaring one tbh). Maybe I'm not understanding something about the protocol, but I really can't fathom the idea of teaching myself about ETH just to build a chat app. Also a huge fan of the projects you mentioned btw. P2Panda uses Iroh under the hood it seems.


libp2p has infected crypto


What's your beef with libp2p?
