yeah

Peer-to-peer protocols seem nice and promising, but are actually hard to design and implement properly. Fluence addresses this problem with Aqua, the new-gen distributed language designed for programming p2p networks that can help in a variety of multi-agent scenarios, from notifications pushing to consensus algorithms. We will speak about the infrastructure and tooling we have, and how to make a simple p2p protocol with a few lines of code.

Aquamarine is the multi-process composition medium based on pi-calculus, designed for distributed applications/backends, both in private deployments and open networks. Aquamarine scripts define the topology of the execution (when and where to move control flow) and data dependency graph (what results and what arguments to pass where), essentially describing the composition of (micro)services, e.g. using one service's output as another service's input. The language primitives are based on pi-calculus operations describing certain topological effects and secured by cryptographic signatures of involved peers. The Aquamarine approach allows building distributed systems of any complexity, effectively expressing network behavior.
