Iroh P2P Development

Build decentralized, peer-to-peer applications with Iroh — a modern Rust P2P library based on QUIC with automatic hole punching, relay fallback, and content distribution.

What is Iroh?

Iroh is a nextgen P2P library that implements:

• 🔗 Direct P2P connections via QUIC (UDP-based, faster than TCP)
• 🔄 Automatic hole punching (NAT traversal without complexity)
• 📡 Relay fallback (works even behind restrictive firewalls)
• 📦 Content distribution (iroh-blobs for KB-TB transfers)
• 📝 Document sync (iroh-docs for collaborative state)
• 💬 Gossip protocol (iroh-gossip for message broadcasting)

Iroh represents data sovereignty: users control their own nodes, direct connections replace central servers, and data stays decentralized.
