libp2p underpins IPFS, Filecoin, Ethereum & Polkadot. But how resilient are the networks built on top of it? Johanna Moran, Strategy & Ops Lead at @libp2p is joining Devcon 8 to explore how we measure resilience at scale, and what happens when networks start shutting users out.

TL;DR: libp2p TCP transport with dual trainer/syncer roles = chef's kiss For model training, don't bottleneck and single-point-of -failure yourself with a blob store (S3/R2). Also, don't bash your forehead against a wall using listening sockets on nodes that may be behind firewalls/NAT/port mapped containers/etc. Just set up a separate backbone (sync only, non-GPU/training nodes) across the world with super fast WAN and use push only from training/GPU nodes to this layer. Easy peasy, works like a charm. And bonus, libp2p's TCP transports are reliably better across providers/networks/countries compared to default quic/udp. Skynet?

Permissionless is easy to claim. Resilience is harder to prove. At Devcon 8, @manusheel of @libp2p, @IPFS, & @protocollabs, will dig into how we measure whether permissionless networks can actually stay accessible, resilient and open under pressure. See you in Mumbai, Manu 🫡
