We are open to suggestions :) And the very first generation of P2P Matrix was indeed built on libp2p (and Protocol Labs led Element's Series B). However, the thought experiment here is whether we can get away without a full global P2P overlay at all in the interests of keeping it simple & stupid. We might well end up back at libp2p tho!

Edit: another option on our todo list to look into more is Iroh (https://github.com/n0-computer/iroh)
