libp2p, (short for “library peer-to-peer”) is a peer-to-peer (P2P) networking framework that enables the development of P2P applications. It consists of a collection of protocols, specifications, and libraries that facilitate P2P communication between network participants, known as “peers.”

ibp2p was initially developed as part of the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) project as its wire protocol but has since phased out into a networking stack that has been adopted by a wide range of other projects as a networking layer. It provides a set of specifications that can be adapted to support various protocols, allowing libp2p applications to operate in diverse runtimes and networking environments.
