Interconnections Guide

Hypercore + Hyperswarm + Hyperdrive Stack

Hypercore (logs) → Hyperdrive (FS) → Hyperswarm (swarm)
  ↓ DHT announce
HyperDHT (discovery)

Example: Collaborative FS

const Hypercore = require('hypercore')
const Hyperdrive = require('hyperdrive')
const Hyperswarm = require('hyperswarm')

const core = new Hypercore(Randy('./meta'))
const drive = new Hyperdrive('./drive', core)
const swarm = new Hyperswarm()

swarm.join(core.discoveryKey)
swarm.on('connection', (conn) => drive.replicate(conn))

Tradeoffs Table

Combo	Use Case	Perf Note
Hypercore + Swarm	Chat logs	Low latency gossip
Drive + DHT	File share	Sparse replication
Bee + Multisig	DB collab	Append-proof integrity

More: Autobase for CRDT over cores.

  HS --> HD[HyperDHT.lookup/announce]
  HD --> DHT[Kademlia + Holepunch]
  HS -->|Noise Stream| HC[Hypercore.replicate]
  HC --> Drive[Hyperdrive/Hyperbee]

DHT-Swarm Flow: Topic hash → DHT peers → direct Noise conn → protocol mux (Protomux for cores).

Perf Notes: 95% direct conn, relays <5%.
