libp2p Android,GitHub - web3j/libp2p: libp2p implementation in Kotlin for JVM platforms

The JVM (Java, Android, Kotlin) implementation of the libp2p Networking Stack.

Background

web3j-libp2p is an implementation of the libp2p modular network stack for the Java virtual machine.

Its goal is to provide a single implementation that meets the needs of Java, Android and Kotlin developers. It is

written in Kotlin which was designed with Java and Android interop in mind.

The project was created by Web3 Labs with the support of the

Ethereum Community Fund and advisory from members of the libp2p team at

Protocol Labs.

Getting started

Versioned releases and regular snapshots will be available shortly for the various

libp2p modules. Until that time, please clone the repo and you can build the artifacts yourself:

We recommend before starting work on a contribution that you communicate with the libp2p JVM community on the

Gitter channel to express your intent to ensure no-one is already working on it.

Additionally, keep an eye on the open Pull Requests and

branches to see what others are working on.

Also, please do review the project issues to identify any low hanging fruit

you can get started with!
