A P2P stack refers to the collection of protocols and software layers that enable peer-to-peer communication and data exchange directly between network participants without a central server. This stack typically includes networking protocols for discovery and connection, data transfer mechanisms, and application-level protocols for specific services. It forms the backbone of decentralized networks, allowing nodes to interact directly and collaboratively. The P2P stack is fundamental for decentralized architectures.
Context
The P2P stack is a core technical component of all decentralized networks, including those powering cryptocurrencies and blockchain applications. Discussions often involve optimizing its performance, security, and scalability to support a growing number of nodes and diverse application requirements. Future developments will focus on improving routing efficiency, enhancing censorship resistance, and standardizing interoperable P2P communication protocols to strengthen the foundations of Web3 infrastructure.
