🔥 VaultMesh - Decentralized Encrypted P2P Storage System

VaultMesh is a production-grade, decentralized file storage system built on LibP2P. It splits files into content-defined chunks, encrypts them with layered ciphers, applies Reed-Solomon erasure coding for redundancy, and distributes them across a global Kademlia DHT.

🚀 Key Features

• Adaptive Chunking: Content-Defined Chunking (CDC) for efficient deduplication.
• Layered Encryption: AES-256-GCM + ChaCha20-Poly1305 + Shamir's.
• Self-Healing: Proactive repair of missing shards using predictive failure scoring.
• Privacy First: Onion-routed retrieval, blind DHT indexing, and Private Information Retrieval (PIR).
• Modern UIs: Sleek Terminal UI (Bubbletea) and Web Dashboard (React/Vite).
