Thanks. This is awesome. I think they are doing more work themselves in terms of crypto, whereas we rely on QUIC+TLS more.
Regarding holepunching, our approach is a bit less pure p2p, but has quite good success rates. We copy the DERP protocol from tailscale.
I am confident that we have a better story regarding handling of large blobs. We don't just use blake3, but blake3 verified streaming to allow for range requests.
Also I wrote my own rust library for blake3 verified streaming that reduces the overhead of the verification data. https://crates.io/crates/bao-tree
I tried to get on their discord at https://veilid.com/discord, but I get an invalid invite. You know a better way to get in touch?
