Make sure you have support to RSA and ED25519 in libp2p-identity RSA is the old standard that is being fazed out. Once you have that create a ED25519 keypair to give to the swarm.

Intialize the network behavour with these protocals:

• kademlia (the dht)
• identify (for sharing supported protocals)
• autonat-v2* (for what ip addrs are reachable and can be shared on animo)
• relay (for ipv4)
• dcutr (unkown if needed)

*Autonat-v1 is being deprecated by kubo; despite this, rust-libp2ps default behavour is still using v1 and so you must explicitly use v2.

• Create the swarm with the ED25519 key and wanted transports (which should just be dns, tcp, and quic-v1*)
• Listen on ipv6 and ipv4

*Do not support quic draft 29

Next we should be ready to bootstrap to the ipfs bootnodes:

We add these to the DHT using kademlias add_address() and its important to know that you need to have the [peerID in the multiaddr](rust-libp2p github issue).

Now you can call bootstrap() and you should be connected to Amino as a [client](link that explains what a client can do)

While you might be connected to Animo, being a client isn't that useful and limits you a lot in what you can do. In order to use the network to its fullest we need to become a server.

In order to become a server there are a couple requirments we must meet.
