Milestone: Double Hash DHT Migration

[guillaumemichel]

eta: 2023Q3

description: This Milestone focuses on the Migration associated with the network upgrade to the Double Hash DHT. First we need to define a migration strategy and timeline. Then, we need to reach out to the community to advertise that we will perform a DHT network upgrade, and notify them if they must take action. After we are satisfied with the performance of the Double Hash DHT implementation, we need to make changes to kubo to make sure that it publishes and looks content up in both the old and the new DHTs. The changes to kubo must be tested e.g using a small test network. This milestone will be considered as complete once the Double Hash DHT is live.

Per 2023-03-13 verbal conversation between @BigLep and @yiannisbot , the detailed plan for the migration (e.g., steps, sequence, dependencies, communication needs) is something that @yiannisbot will likely handle by IPFS Thing 2023. Any planning will be inlined here or linked from here.

We want to complete this by IPFS Thing to keep the momentum on the project and get engagement on it given the community is gathering then anyways.
