ParallelChain Network

Implementation of ParallelChain protocol peer-to-peer (P2P) networking.

ParallelChain Network is a combination of 4 libp2p protocols running on top of a Noise-authenticated TCP transport:

1. Kademlia forms and maintains a connected and efficient network topology: every peer can reach every other peer in a small number of hops.
2. Identify lets peers inform other peers of changes in their basic information.
3. Ping lets peers quickly check the liveness of other peers.
4. Gossipsub implements the primary useful function of ParallelChain Network: general publish/subscribe messaging.

Usage

Starting a pchain_network peer: docs.rs.

Versioning

The version of this library reflects the version of the ParallelChain Protocol which it implements. For example, the current version is 0.4.2, and this implements protocol version 0.4. Patch version increases are not guaranteed to be non-breaking.
