- Iroh 1.0 introduces 'dial keys, not IPs' as the future internet abstraction, providing secure and stable addressing controlled by users.
- It has grown through 65 versions to a stable release, used for streaming video, training LLMs, secure chats, gaming, and more, with over 200 million endpoints created recently.
- Key features include open standards adoption, QUIC multipath implementation, NAT traversal, local-first configurations, WASM compilation, hooks for custom logic, and support for custom transports like BLE and LoRa.
- Keys secure connections, enabling identity, permissions, and attribution, turning the internet into a secure localhost with efficient direct data transfer reducing cloud hops.
- Official support for Python, Node.js, Kotlin, and Swift alongside Rust, making embedding into iOS and Android apps easier.
- Wire protocol and language APIs are stable in version 1.0, ensuring compatibility across minor versions and languages.
- Support schedule includes major/minor version updates post-1.0, with public relay support for v1.0 until End of Life and v0.35x until Dec 31, 2026.
- Public relays are maintained with version updates and rate-limited relayed traffic, with hosted options available through iroh services.
