This project will not only demonstrate the versatility and robustness of the libp2p protocols but will also aid other developers as a reference to implement decentralized communication solutions. Libp2p is a core library used in Ethereum, Filecoin, IPFS and other blockchains to manage decentralized networking tasks effectively and securely. \n\n## Goals\n\n### Video Communication Functionality:\n- Develop a peer-to-peer video communication system using libp2p.\n\n### Direct Messaging Functionality:\n- Implement a secure realtime direct messaging feature between peers on the network.\n\n### Demo Application Enhancement:\n- Upgrade the existing demo application to support these new features with a clean, intuitive UI.\n- Conduct testing with the community to gather feedback and refine functionalities.\n\n## Impact\n\nBy extending libp2p's demo Universal Connectivity app with these capabilities, we aim to:\n- Showcase the potential of decentralized protocols in handling real-time communication scenarios.\n- Provide developers and organizations with powerful tools to build secure, efficient, and decentralized communication platforms.\n- Foster a stronger, more diverse community around decentralized technologies, enhancing collaborative development and innovation.\n\n## Budget Allocation\n- Development Costs: Engineering time for designing, building, and testing the video and messaging modules.\n- Infrastructure: Servers and services for testing functionality.\n- Community Engagement: Webinars, conferences, and documentation to educate and involve the community in the project’s development and deployment.\n\n## Milestones\n- Proof of concept - completed.\n- Refinement and design phase.\n- Development of video and direct messaging modules.\n- Integration into the demo app, community testing, and initial release.\n\n## Seeking Support\nWe are seeking funding to cover development, operational costs, and travel to conferences.\n", "logoImgData": {}}
