# dotnet-libp2p [](https://github.com/nethermindeth/dotnet-libp2p/actions/workflows/test.yml) [](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Nethermind.Libp2p) [](https://t.me/dotnet_libp2p) The project aims to implement [libp2p](https://libp2p.io) to unlock building .NET peer-to-peer applications using a battle-tested specification of network communication of the new age. As an application developer, you may consider reading [quick start](./docs/README.md). As a stack implementer, you may be interested in [more advanced tutorials](./docs/development/README.md). **Contributions are welcome**, kindly check the [issues](https://github.com/NethermindEth/dotnet-libp2p/issues) tab, everything there if not assigned to a person can be taken into work. More details in [CONTRIBUTING.md](./CONTRIBUTING.md). ## Building the solution The solution depends on external repositories. ```sh git clone https://github.com/NethermindEth/dotnet-libp2p.git --recursive cd ./src/libp2p/ dotnet build dotnet test ``` ## Roadmap 🚧 The library is not stable and under heavy development. Consider the [beta](https://github.com/NethermindEth/dotnet-libp2p/milestone/5) milestone as a reflection of readiness for production 🚧 The target is to provide a performant well-tested implementation of a wide range of protocols that works on multiple platforms, with high throughput and low memory profile. | Protocol | Version | Status | |--------------------|--------------------|-----------------| | TCP | tcp | ✅ | | QUIC | quic-v1 | ✅ | | multistream-select | /multistream/1.0.0 | ✅ | | plaintext | /plaintext/2.0.0 | ✅ | | noise | /noise | ✅ | | tls | /tls/1.0.0 | 🚧 | | WebTransport | | ⬜ help wanted | | yamux | /yamux/1.0.0 | ✅ | | Circuit Relay | /libp2p/circuit/relay/0.2.0/* | ⬜ help wanted | | hole punching | | ⬜ help wanted | | **Application layer** | Identify | /ipfs/id/1.0.0 | ✅ | | ping | /ipfs/ping/1.0.0 | ✅ | | pubsub | /floodsub/1.0.0 | ✅ | | | /meshsub/1.0.0 | ✅ | | | /meshsub/1.1.0 | 🚧 | | | /meshsub/1.2.0 | ⬜ | | **Discovery** | mDns | basic | ✅ | | | DNS-SD | 🚧 | | [discv5](https://github.com/Pier-Two/Lantern.Discv5) | 5.1 | 🚧 help wanted | ⬜ - not yet implemented
