Round 2 / Rust-Libp2p

This project benefits a wide community, not just filecoin. The libp2p project aims to create a modular set of peer-to-peer networking protocols that all p2p software can utilize. Filecoin use these networking protocols to form its p2p networking layer. Rather than having all new implementations create their own networking stacks, libp2p attempts to group all projects into one such that all teams can work together on a common set of rigoursly tested network protocols.

Rust-libp2p in particular has a strong set of rust projects that actively use the protocols. The rust-libp2p maintainers are actively improving, researching efficiencies and ensuring the security of these protocols for all rust implementations that use them.
