  • alternative-internet

  • rust-libp2p

    The Rust Implementation of the libp2p networking stack.

    Project mention: On Implementation of Distributed Protocols | dev.to | 2024-04-05

    Substrate and Lighthouse use libp2p as a networking stack for communication between nodes. The libp2p framework is a versatile modular peer-to-peer networking stack. It provides a collections of abstractions, mechanisms, and protocols for facilitating communication in P2P systems. In particular, libp2p supports multiple transport mechanisms (TCP, QUIC, WebSocket, WebTransport, etc.), encryption schemes (TLS and Noise), and stream multiplexing. Higher-level protocols in libp2p are implemented on top of reliable, ordered, bidirectional binary streams, which are transparently encrypted and multiplexed by the framework.

  • EthList

    The Comprehensive Ethereum Reading List

  • Pump.io

    Social server with an ActivityStreams API

  • bookwyrm

    Social reading and reviewing, decentralized with ActivityPub

    Project mention: Bookwyrm – the federated social network for reading books | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-07-19

    It’s got a very ideologically-driven focus, including an anti-capital source license:

    https://github.com/bookwyrm-social/bookwyrm/blob/main/LICENS...

    I think the focus on federation is to encourage small, decentralized and communally operated sites that play well with the broader fediverse. I can see that working well for a lot of book communities!

    Also, spent a bit of time a few weeks ago and it already seemed to have the nicest UX of the open social book services, at least that I could see (would love recs - mostly interested in a personal tracker).
