No, the public relays are free forever, they are just rate limited. That hasn’t changed!

Yes, iroh here. We are looking into projects who want to use iroh with matter or thread. If you have a project you want to collaborate with our engineers on, please get in touch! Send an email to [email protected]

Correct

Would you use it if there was a go version?

Hi, I also work on iroh.

Iroh is built for environments where connectivity is unreliable or intermittent, so it can be a good fit for use cases involving connection failures, offline periods, or semi-connected devices.

We provide a range of peer-to-peer protocols that don't require a central server, including key-value stores, blob transfer, collaborative documents, and streaming audio/video. These protocols are designed to synchronize devices back to a consistent state, even after long disconnections or network interruptions.

If you'd like to explore whether iroh could work for your use case, we're happy to chat. Feel free to email us at [email protected], and we can set up a call.

The folks who made iroh worked on libp2p first, but found many limitations in libp2p's design. iroh is a better more flexible and powerful version of libp2p
