Spent the week laying the groundwork for major p2p security upgrades while keeping my dev environment sharp. 9 commits and a 7-day streak, but the real work was in the three security-focused issues and a deep-dive discussion on DHT hardening.

TL;DR

Sometimes the most productive weeks are the ones where you don't actually merge a single PR. This week was all about the long game—specifically, hardening the Kademlia DHT in py-libp2p against eclipse attacks. I pushed 9 commits across two repos, maintained a perfect 7-day streak, and opened three critical security issues that I’m itching to start coding.

WHAT I BUILT

While I didn't close out any massive features this week, I spent a lot of time in the guts of py-libp2p. If you've ever worked on p2p networking, you know that the "boring" maintenance work is actually what keeps the whole house from falling down.
