New IPNS key types #589

Closed ianopolous closed 1 year ago

ianopolous commented 1 year ago

We're hoping to use new post-quantum (or hybrid) key types in IPNS in the next few years in Peergos and wanted to start a discussion about how to add new key types. In particular, ones that have 8k-17k signatures. The latter of which would put them over the 10k IPNS record limit.

The bigger issue is that you can't start using a new key type until most clients have upgraded to support it.

NB: I'm not talking about peerIds here if they can be decoupled.
