LibP2P Specs
Technical specifications for the libp2p networking stack, defining wire protocols, addressing, and core abstractions for peer-to-peer applications.
What is LibP2P Specs?
libp2p/specs is the official repository containing technical specifications for the libp2p networking stack. It defines wire protocols, addressing conventions, core abstractions, and processes for building modular peer-to-peer network applications. The specs ensure consistency across multiple language implementations by providing implementation-agnostic reference documentation.
Protocol engineers, library maintainers, and developers implementing or contributing to libp2p in various programming languages who need authoritative specifications for interoperability.
It provides the single source of truth for libp2p's network-level behavior, enabling consistent cross-implementation development and serving as a coordination point for evolving the protocol suite through a structured specification process.
