Research direction

Start by checking the project's content-layer and GossipSub setup, then try enabling pubsub on Kubo and publishing from a py-libp2p peer while subscribing from a browser Helia node. Record whether messages arrive, the message size limits, and any interoperability gaps. Done means a short write-up with a working or failed demo and a recommendation.

Description

enhancement kubo research-spike storage tier-3

Summary

Check whether a py-libp2p peer and a Kubo or browser node can exchange messages on one topic.

Estimated size: S

Motivation

The compute plane already uses GossipSub; live execution streams need a bridge.

Proposal

  • Enable pubsub on the node, publish from a Python peer, and subscribe from a browser Helia node.
  • Record what works, message size limits and any interop gaps.

Acceptance criteria

  • A short write-up with a working or failed demo and a recommendation.

Out of scope

  • Shipping streaming.

Dependencies

  • None; can be picked up independently.

Part of #43. Ground rules for the content layer: no secrets in the repo, content-layer failures must never block or discard quantum execution, and tests and docs ship with every PR.
