  1. iroh

    IP addresses break, dial keys instead. A library that adds QUIC + NAT Traversal to your apps.

    Project mention: Iroh 1.0 | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-06-15

    If you are a rust developer, you can just take a look at the examples in the iroh repo itself or in our iroh-examples repo.

    None of them require an API key.
