Data Channels

Data Channels is an unstoppable, infinitely scalable data transfer layer for the next generation internet.

• Standalone: Self-contained and works without external services, like blockchains
• Batteries included: World-class P2P infrastructure built-in in every data channel
• Fast onboarding: Developers don’t need to learn P2P or blockchain to build on data channels
• Ethereum L2 support: Integrates natively with Ethereum to provide plug & play digital value transfers
• Cross-platform: Data channels work on web, mobile and desktop out-of-the-box
• P2P with benefits: Integrated, optional convenience services, like 24/7 always-online data mirroring

Please note that this is a work in progress and not yet ready for production use.

Installation

Some of the dependencies are still in alpha stage and set private, so unless you are part of the foundation organization, you won't be able to install the dependencies.

# clone the repo (NPM package not yet available)
git clone https://github.com/foundation0/data-channels.git

# install dependencies
npx pnpm i

# build the Core
npm run build

Running tests

Note: there is a weird bug causing some of the tests fail when run in one go, but if ran individually, they pass. Probably something to do with storages getting mixed up.

npm test
