Last month on February 29th, 2024, the libp2p community came together in Denver, Colorado to hold the first libp2p Day in 2024 alongside the ETHDenver conference.
SWOT Analysis
At the end of the day we had our first "Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats" (SWOT) session of 2024. The highlights:
Strengths
- Our community has expanded to include at least 5 implementations used in production
- Several independent communities based around the different implementations
- There is some funding to sustain the project going forward
Weaknesses
- Learning libp2p is still somewhat difficult
Opportunities
- Focus funding on creation of new learning materials
- Make libp2p into the go-to library for distributed systems researchers
- Focus on mobile optimization
Threats
- Continued funding is always going to be a threat to the health of the community
Talks
We had a great event with 12 different sessions focusing on topics such as public goods funding, probing p2p networks, synchronization protocols in blockchains, designing peer-to-peer social networks and others.
