WhatA registry and marketplace of tested, maintained transport plugins (BLE, LoRa, Tor, satellite) for P2P networking stacks, with compatibility testing, security audits, and commercial support tiers.
SignalThe Iroh team explicitly cannot support the long tail of transports people keep requesting — BLE, LoRa, WebRTC, Tor, Nym — and has pushed this to community-maintained custom transports, but developers need confidence these plugins are production-grade before shipping them.
Why NowIroh 1.0's custom transport API creates a standardized plugin interface for the first time, and the explosion of IoT and mesh networking use cases (BLE for wearables, LoRa for agriculture/logistics) means demand for exotic transports is accelerating.
MarketIoT platform developers, mesh networking companies, and enterprises needing air-gapped or non-IP connectivity; niche but high-value — industrial IoT connectivity market is $30B+; no direct competitor aggregates transport plugins.
MoatAggregation of community trust — becoming the canonical source for audited, tested transport plugins creates a reputation moat similar to npm or crates.io for this niche.
Managed P2P Infrastructure for App DevelopersP6/10A managed platform that handles peer-to-peer networking (NAT traversal, relay servers, connection migration) so app developers can add real-time sync, file transfer, or multiplayer without building networking infrastructure.
Cross-Platform P2P SDK with Native BindingsC5/10A polished, well-documented SDK that wraps P2P networking primitives (Iroh or similar) with production-ready bindings for Kotlin/Android, Swift/iOS, and web, enabling mobile and desktop apps to communicate peer-to-peer without server infrastructure.
Sandboxed Developer Environment for Untrusted Code ReviewP7/10A desktop tool that automatically runs untrusted repositories in isolated, disposable virtual environments so developers can safely review code from job interviews, open-source contributions, or client projects without risking their host machine.
Cybercrime Incident Reporting and Response PlatformC5/10A centralized, easy-to-use platform where individuals and small businesses can report cybercrimes, get immediate triage guidance, and connect with law enforcement and remediation services — a '911 for cybercrime.'
Supply Chain Security Scanner for Package ManagersC6/10A pre-install security gate that statically and dynamically analyzes npm, PyPI, and other package manager installs for malicious lifecycle scripts, obfuscated payloads, and suspicious network calls before any code executes on your machine.
Verified Developer Identity and Recruiter Trust NetworkC6/10A professional identity verification layer for developer hiring that cryptographically validates both recruiters and candidates, ensuring job offers come from real companies and code-review requests link to audited repositories.
