The vision was that production services would gradually transition to bootstrapping points while the DHT carried the real load.</p> <p>Today we&rsquo;re removing the DHT.</p> <p>The replacement isn&rsquo;t a step back to centralized HTTP. It&rsquo;s a different decentralization model — <strong>CXO publishers and subscribers</strong> — that turns out to fit Skywire&rsquo;s actual needs much better than a Kademlia DHT.</p>
