Description

Following the precedent set by go (https://github.com/libp2p/go-libp2p-peerstore/), py-libp2p should have an implementation for PeerStore that stores all peer store related data in-memory (already done) and an implementation that stores all peer store related data in persistent storage, which would allow for clients to restart their libp2p instance while maintaining the same peer store (needs to be done).

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the existing in memory PeerStore implementation in py libp2p and the go libp2p peerstore for persistent storage patterns. Then design a persistent version using a database or file storage, ensuring compatibility with the current interface.
