Abstract

Building blockchain and decentralized apps tends to present a common set challenges. In this talk we'll take a deep dive into libp2p, a modular networking stack written by the IPFS team, and see how it solves these common challenges and how you can use it to supercharge your app. We'll walk through an example atomic swap app which builds on libp2p.
