- Key generation and secure storage
- Message signing and verification
- PeerID derivation

- Network Layer: libp2p-based P2P networking
- TCP and WebSockets transports
- Noise encryption
- Yamux stream multiplexing
- GossipSub for pub/sub messaging
- Kademlia DHT for peer discovery

- Utilities: Helper functions for crypto, logging, and time

Installation

``bash
npm install @hivemind/core
`

Quick Start

$3

`typescript
import { Identity, KeyManager } from '@hivemind/core'

// Create new identity
const identity = await Identity.create()
console.log('PeerID:', identity.peerId)

// Save to disk
await KeyManager.save(identity, '~/.hivemind/identity.json')

// Load from disk
const loaded = await KeyManager.load('~/.hivemind/identity.json')
`

$3

`typescript
const message = new TextEncoder().encode('Hello HIVEMIND!')

// Sign
const signature = await identity.sign(message)

// Verify
const isValid = await Identity.verify(message, signature, identity.publicKey)
console.log('Signature valid:', isValid)
`

$3

`typescript
import { Libp2pNode, GossipSubManager, ConnectionManager } from '@hivemind/core'

// Create identity
const identity = await Identity.create()

// Create libp2p node
const node = new Libp2pNode(identity, {
listen: ['/ip4/0.0.0.0/tcp/4001', '/ip4/0.0.0.0/tcp/4002/ws'],
})

// Start node
await node.start()

console.log('Node started')
console.log('PeerID:', node.peerId.toString())
console.log('Listening on:', node.getMultiaddrs())

// Create managers
const gossipsub = new GossipSubManager(node.node)
const connections = new ConnectionManager(node.node)

// Listen to connection events
connections.on('peer:connect', (peerId) => {
console.log('Peer connected:', peerId.toString())
})

// Subscribe to a topic
await gossipsub.subscribe('hivemind/general', (message) => {
console.log('Received:', new TextDecoder().decode(message.data))
})

// Publish a message
const data = new TextEncoder().encode('Hello from HIVEMIND!')
await gossipsub.publish('hivemind/general', data)
`
