About:
OpenDHT is a lightweight C++17 distributed hash table implementation designed for peer-to-peer applications. It provides a simple key-value storage API with support for cryptographic security and value caching. The library enables developers to build decentralized services without relying on centralized infrastructure.
Key Features:
  • C++17 library with simple REST and DHT APIs
  • Support for cryptographic security and anonymous communications
  • Value caching and persistence mechanisms
  • Lightweight with minimal dependencies
  • Proven in production with the Jami communication platform
Use Cases:
  • Building decentralized messaging and communication applications
  • Creating serverless distributed services
  • Implementing peer-to-peer data synchronization
  • Developing privacy-focused network applications
Alternatives:
  • libp2p – More comprehensive but heavier framework for peer-to-peer networking
  • BitTorrent DHT – Specific to torrent discovery, less general-purpose than OpenDHT
