QOTP looks really cool. Like what QUIC would be if DJB were in charge of it.

What Hacker News says
3 sourcesthe https://github.com/qh-project/qh link doesn't work for what its worth.
In A P2P Vision for QUIC (2024)UDP-based protocols are well suited for P2P, since hole punching is straightforward if you have predictable port mapping, you cannot disallow it. In that spirit, we are currently exploring this with:
https://github.com/tbocek/qotp and https://github.com/qh-project/qh
The main idea is to have a simple encryption (ed25519/chacha20+poly1305) for encryption in the transport layer, on top of that then qh, where certs are use for signing content.
With out of band key exchange, you can establish a connection after you successfully punched a hole.
However, its not QUIC compatible in any way (https://xkcd.com/927)
