Hypercore in Rust

Mar 19, 2026 • 47min 27s

Episode description

In this episode we talk to Blake who’s working on a Rust implementation of the Hypercore protocol. Hypercore (formerly known as .dat and part of the dat ecosystem ) is one of the oldest P4P networks.

Blake presents two usecases for Hypercore as a protocol which have previously been under-explored but are highly promising—for RSS and for package-management—showcasing the versatility of P4P protocols and how there can be a larger ecosystem of P2P networks.

Also mentioned in the podcast is the Pear protocol, Mapeo. and the chat app Keet. Find Blake on Bluesky and Mastodon.
