Crate beetswap

Beetswap

Beetswap is a Rust-based implementation of the Bitswap protocol for the libp2p networking stack. Bitswap is a protocol developed for the exchange of blocks between peers. It plays a critical role in data distribution, ensuring that peers can request and receive the blocks they need from other peers in the network.

Check out the examples.

Key Features

• Efficient Block Exchange: Implements the Bitswap protocol to ensure efficient transfer of blocks between peers.
• Libp2p Integration: Designed to integrate smoothly with libp2p, allowing it to be used in a wide range of decentralized applications.
• Rust Safety and Performance: Takes advantage of Rust’s memory safety guarantees and performance optimizations, making it a robust choice for networked applications.

Hasher Choices

Beetswap uses multihash-codetable, so hashers can be enabled with the corresponding feature:

# your crate's Cargo.toml
# Say we want CIDs that used blake3 or sha2 or sha3
multihash-codetable = { version = "0.1", features = ["blake3", "sha2", "sha3"] }

Beyond the multihash codetable hashers, other custom hashers can be added, see multihasher for further details.
