What's new being done with P2P?


I am under the impression that crypto took the spotlight to almost anything P2P related in the past decade. Besides crypto, is there new being done with?

WebRTC is still a hot area. P2P is awesome and definitely not dead, been around forever and will be around forever.

Radicle is pretty interesting: https://radicle.xyz/

It's a P2P source forge similar to GitHub or Gitlab.

P2P broadcast is interesting. Send your video to two users, then they send it to two more. Makes things affordable.

P2P VPN I also like. Users connect directly instead of routing all traffic through relay.

IMO P2P is mostly incompatible with laptops/phones but Veilid is trying to bring it back.

Does anyone have experience with P2P Livestreaming via WebRTC? Is it reliable?

IPFS is still going strong with the file sharing.
