The most important problems/technologies relevant to Protocol Labs that will/should exist 5-10 years from now:

Important problems to solve:

  • anonymous, private connectivity
    • distinction between ephemeral and permanent IDs
  • better congestion control
  • better DHTs
    • lower latency, more secure

Important technologies to build:

  • libp2p as a service (on your computer)
  • packet switching
    • make libp2p packet oriented instead of stream oriented (currently streams on packets on streams on packets)

This began as notes from a conversation on 2017-12-15 with @jbenet, @stebalien, @nicola, and @miyazono, but this list should grow and evolve. Please directly edit this to add additional items, submit issues to propose clarifications or removal of items, and convert these to more complete and formalized open problem statements.
