Tox in specific lets libsodium/nacl do all the cryptography and provides little above the core methods, the more complex parts were the networking

libsodium is great! We're considering supporting it in conjunction with WebCrypto. Yeah, networking is hard, but is the main thing we've worked on over the years.

We're using WebRTC and fallback to decentralized WebSocket relays (you can use multiple / nothing exclusive, run your own, etc.). What are you guys using?
