There currently is no p2p transport mechanism (related issue: #1022) but it is something I am very much interested in and have been discussing with my friends at https://fission.codes. A while ago I also made a decentralized Feathers chat demo that uses the Beaker browser (slides for the talk are at: https://daffl.github.io/decentralized-web/).

The problem is that just enabling a low level peer-to-peer transport layer won't be enough to create a complete Feathers app since you will need several systems on top of that. Specifically:

  • Distributed identity (UCAN)
  • Encrypted data storage (probably on top of IPFS)
  • A decentralized database
