PeerCache is a distributed key-value data store built using Rust and leveraging libp2p and tokio libraries. Used the FloodSub protocol for efficient retrieval of stored messages across a decentralized network of nodes. The code is written to store "NFT" metadata with predefined fields (I wanted to get the implementation running quickly, so I made the data type concrete) but can be easily adapted to store any kind of data with minor modification to the code.
Note: The implementation may look hacky because I only intended to write this code for learning how to work with the rust-libp2p library and not to make a full fledged high performant distributed key value store.
#TODO: Update README
- Install Rust v1.61.0-nightly (follow instructions here).
- Clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/h3lio5/rusty-messenger.git - Start the p2p network by running the command
cargo run RUST_LOG=info cargo runin multiple terminal tabs. - Interact with the network using the following commands (run the commands in different terminal tabs)-
- LIST PEERS: Lists all the peers connected to your node
- CREATE NFT <collection_name>|<item_id>|| (NOTE: all the fields are necessary)
- GET NFT ALL: lists all the NFTs stored on the network
- GET NFT <collection_name>: Lists all the NFTs of the requested collection
