If you’re talking peer-to-peer then [DAT Foundation](https://dat.foundation/) (their DAT protocol) is getting more traction. Very differently positioned to SAFE (which has a very good completeness-of-vision), the recently revamped protocol gets some nice application (I am not really following them, so do not have many pointers… they can be hard to find). Recently I came upon [CoBox](https://cobox.cloud/), a cool DAT-based project providing “an encrypted p2p file system and distributed back-up tool”. You also have [Secure Scuttlebutt Foundation](https://github.com/ssbc) and the aforementioned IPFS suite of protocols. I am very interested in Fediverse (ActivityPub), which right now is federated-only, but there’s increasing amount of research into peer-to-peer usage. ActivityPub itself is just a messaging protocol and mostly agnostic to this. A wonderful development for Fediverse is [Spritely Project](http://forum.solidproject.org/t/spritely-project-the-super-exciting-future-of-fediverse/3470). --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.solidproject.org/t/solid-scope-and-ecosystem/3100)._
