We use this repo in two ways:

• Issues to track several kinds of discussion on topics related with Research and libp2p, random ideas and proposals for new systems or features that don't fall on a specific repo yet. All the discussion happens in the
• OPEN_PROBLEMS list the currently known and unpack Open Problems for libp2p

Disclaimer: While we work hard to document our work as it progresses, research progress may not be fully reflected here for some time, or may be worked out out-of-band.

Some of our Open Problems have open RFPs. For all, we welcome any collaborations (potentially leading to new constructions, discoveries and publications). Please reach out at [email protected].

Protocol Labs runs an RFP (Request For Proposals) Program with the goal of funding individuals and groups to come up with novel solutions to the Open Problems found in this and other repos. If interested, please follow the link to check the active RFPs.
