What is libp2p?

libp2p is an open source networking library used by the world's most important distributed systems such as Ethereum, IPFS, Filecoin, Optimism and countless others. There are native implementations in Go, Rust, Javascript, C++, Nim, Java/Kotlin, Python, .Net, Swift and Zig. It is the simplest solution for global scale peer-to-peer networking and includes support for pub-sub message passing, distributed hash tables, NAT hole punching and browser-to-browser direct communication.

What Libp2p enables is a way to allow to arbitrary devices on the internet to talk to each other. It also has a way to get eventual consistency via pubsub. (group messaging)

What it could be used for?

• Reporting traffic slow downs or accidents to other users
• Reporting hazards
• Probably some other stuff

The key is that this would need to be opt in only as it could introduce privacy and security issues. Also there needs to be strong data anonymizing stuff and under no circumstances should a single user be able to be targeted.
