p2panda is a modular framework for building privacy-respecting, offline-first peer-to-peer applications using Rust crates and established standards like BLAKE3 and Ed25519. It provides components for encryption, access control, data sync, and networking that work over unstable connections and alternative communication infrastructure such as shortwave and LoRa. The project combines protocol design, research in distributed data types, and community engagement to create a resilient, interoperable P2P ecosystem.
