FURPS+
Functionality
- Enable private peer-to-peer messaging between nodes
- Support pub/sub messaging patterns for application coordination
- Provide ephemeral and persistent message delivery modes
- Enable message routing without central servers
Reliability
- Ensure message delivery in partially connected networks
- Provide message redundancy across distributed nodes
- Support offline message queuing
Performance
- Scale to support high message throughput
- Minimize latency for real-time communication
- Optimize bandwidth usage for resource-constrained devices
+ (Privacy, Anonymity, Censorship-Resistance)
- Privacy: End-to-end encrypted message content
- Anonymity: Sender and recipient metadata protection through network-level obfuscation
- Censorship-Resistance: Decentralized message routing prevents filtering or blocking
- Security: Cryptographic message authentication and integrity verification
Demand Validation
Potential Users: All Logos applications requiring communication, data synchronization, or event broadcasting
Use Cases:
- Application-to-application messaging (oracles, cross-contract events)
- User-to-user communication in social apps and DAOs
- Event broadcasting and real-time notifications
- Multi-party protocol coordination (atomic swaps, governance)
Possible Implementation
- Protocol Layer: libp2p-based gossipsub for message propagation
- Privacy Layer: Topic-based encryption with forward secrecy
- Integration: Native integration with Logos Storage for persistent history
- API: Simple pub/sub interface exposed to application developers
Technical Validation
Risks & Challenges:
- Balancing delivery guarantees with privacy requirements
- Preventing spam and DoS attacks without compromising anonymity
- Maintaining performance as network scales
- Metadata protection in gossip-based protocols
Integration Points:
- Logos Storage for message persistence
- Application layer for pub/sub subscriptions
- Network layer for peer discovery and routing
