Could you build this?
No Building a functional peer-to-peer CDN with cryptographic data verification requires advanced systems programming and deep expertise in distributed networking protocols.
What it would actually take: A production version would be written in Rust or Go, utilizing libp2p, custom DHT implementations for chunk discovery, NAT traversal (STUN/TURN/ICE), and streaming BLAKE3 verified tree hashing. The core difficulties are high-throughput P2P caching, network topology optimization, Byzantine fault tolerance, and browser/client interoperability (via WebRTC/WebTransport).
